		For the Dayak community in Kalimantan, identity is very important because it is a sign of their dignity and integrity; therefore, information on the existence to validate ethnic groups and languages is required.
		Dayak languages and ethnic groups are very complex, impressively sophisticated, and of profound importance for reasons, literary, scholarly, popular and activist.
		The preservation and promotion of the local languages may also help in maintaining as well as improving the self-confidence amongst many of the ethnic-groups involved in the project, because at this moment many of the indigenous people feel inferior when using their own language especially in social interaction.

	Foundation For Endangered Languages. Home
		Under the general rubric of language endangerment, David Bradley identified attitudes to language in the home community as the crucial determinant of language survival, having its effects through bilingualism, inter-generational transmission, maintenance of linguistic boundaries, and the sense of the language’s historic status.
		Authorities on the situation of endangered languages in each of the world’s main subcontinents were invited to view their own areas in terms of a typology of endangerment elaborated by Matthias Brenzinger and others.
		Native American language speakers are under-represented in census figures (only 50% of the 194 languages still spoken are in fact registered at all.) Women who have married outside their language group are not counted, and many who work outside prefer not to identify themselves tribally.

		It may safely be said that the literature now extant in that language is of greater value than all the literature which three hundred years ago was extant in all the languages of the world together.
		Languages are the creatures of tradition, passed from generation to generation.
		If a way can be found to confer respect on the language traditions that remain, so that their holders are inspirited to carry them on even as they become familiar with other languages of international communication, the next century will witness a dialogue as stimulating as humanity has ever known.

		It is central to Dayak livelihoods, land rights, and forest management, and it has been managed sustainably for centuries.
		Since Bentian Dayak ownership and management of forest land is not recognized, logging companies are destroying what for centuries has been a biologically diverse, managed forest ecosystem.

		Ngaju Dayak, a language of Kalimantan in Indonesia, exhibits a process of vowel laxing in closed syllables not uncommon to languages of the Austronesian family.
		Formosan and Philippine languages have a set of pronouns that are often referred to as "Genitive clitic pronouns", which are used to indicate the possessor (when cliticised to a noun) or the Agent of a transitive sentence (when cliticised to a verb).
		Evidence of mutual influence, or 'convergence', of the two language groups is easy to detect, for instance, lexically where the AN languages have clearly contributed significantly to the vocabularies of some of the Papuan langugages, and in syntax, as evidenced in the 'reversed' possessive constructions in AN languages that may be contributed to Papuan influence.

		The Dayak peoples generally do not have tradition in literature, but the oral tradition is rich and is the main channel for information and stories.
		Unfortunately, the Dayak oral tradition is near destruction, therefore the Dayakologi focused itself in the research of the Dayak oral tradition.
		The purpose of this project is to record, catalogue, analyze, and to try to preserve the Dayak culture through their oral tradition, music, and folktales.
