Kedayan entry into cyber world is a small step but by no means less significant (see english version).
Kedayan people were originally only found in Borneo Island, specifically within the Brunei Bay area.
Thus we see today, majority of Kedayan found in Sarawak resided in Limbang, Miri and Lawas, Brunei- through out the state, Sabah- in the Districts of Sipitang, Beaufort, Kuala Penyu and Papar and Federal Territory of Labuan [nearly 70% of its population were Kedayan in 70s].

 Culture
As Brunei lost territory during the 19th century, the cultivable area shrank and both the Malays and Kedayans, whose homeland was Brunei, migrated to neighbouring areas, including Labuan which was virtually uninhabited when the British took over.
In the past, the Kedayan people have shown a streak of rebellion and had rebelled twice within the last 114 years.
The wedding ceremony of the Kedayan is similar to the Brunei Malays, but one difference is that when the bride is about to get married, she is seated among candles and other decorations and the older folk will go up to her, one at a time, and mark her forehead with powdered spices.

 The origins and meanings of the terms Kadazan and Dusun.
Thirdly, it is believed that the word came from ‘Kedayan’, the name of an ethnic group, residing mainly in Brunei and Labuan and not identified as part of the so-called ‘Dusunic’ peoples.
As the Kedayan people are not part of the so-called ‘Dusunic’ group, there was and is very little contact between the two groups.
Moreover, the word ‘Kedayan’ is pronounced as [kedayan], therefore the sound [e] need to have undergone a big change to become [a] in the word ‘Kadazan’, also the sound [d] in ‘Kedayan’ is plosive (“hard d”) whereas the sound [d] in ‘Kadazan’ is implosive (“soft d”).

 A Spiritual Relationship With The Land   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Until the last few decades, the Kedayans, another rural people of Brunei, have survived by carefully utilising forest, land and wildlife for their livelihood.
Well into the 20th century, the Kedayans were traditionally shifting agriculturists, felling, burning and planting hill padi in successive hillsides in succeeding years.
In short, it has been their harmonising and systematic methods of using their environments (particularly land and forests) that have enabled them to practise similar economic activities through many generations to produce food and manufacture materials, not only for themselves but also to sell the surplus to non-agricultural people in the country.

My former school's academic staff was half populated by Kelantanese, so we had a great time indulging in their kecek Kelate.
I'm willing to bet that one of their (and ours) most overused phrases were "Pehe dok?" and "Pehe." Clashed with the native tongues, it was delightful and funny at the same time listening a Kelantanese trying to speak Sabahan or Kedayan and vice versa.
As for me, I feel more at ease with the usual Semenanjung slang as I grew up with my parents speaking that way although my father is a Labuanite.
