Pelik tapi benar. Tapi Kadazan Dusunlah. Kadazan Kebun, Kadazan Ladang, Kadazan Estet, etc... sik tauk ku sama sik.[/font]

probably aku rasa kadazan dengan bidayuh berasal dari rumpun yang samalah...Agak-agak mereka ni saudara jauhlah... Macam orang arab dan Israeil...Tu pasal bahasa mereka x jauh beza dan hampir sama..... Cuma yang berbeza adat tertib mereka, pakaian mereka dan juga cara hidup mereka.... and not to forget, bidayuh ada banyaj jenis...Ada yang coklat, ada yang cerah..Mungkin orang yang bidayuh yang kulit cerah seakan ala-ala oriental mungkin ada connection dengan kadazan...

aku rasa semua same roots. orang borneo bah. hehe my cousin's husband is a kadazan dusun guy. he's working at kuching now and can speak bidoyeh fluently. when he's pissed he would say "bak samak!" hahahaha!!! i'm not sure but i think there's a similarity in kadazan...

Hmm.. yeah, there are some similarities. But I dont think bidayuh and Kadazan from the same rumpun... Kadazan originally from indo-china... In fact, the traditional dress is the same... Bidayuh, I dont know.. probably from Kalimantan? Need help here.. As far as language, I think it was influence due to the same location...

But again, bidayuh tradition dress also black in color.. so does kadazan.. hmmm..

Same goes with the malays mate.... They're from Yunan, Indochina....
I think the iban, malays,bidayuh and kadazan are from the same root....
The only difference is the clothing that the malay wore is different since they adopt different culture and lifestyle when they settled down in the new area...Besides, the malays during those time have more influence of hinduism and buddha from India....That's why the way that they dress (tanjak,all those malay traditional clothes) originates way back from the bay of bengal and India during those days...However, I am also afraid that the malays have close connection with the maoris....Even right now in New Zealand I am mistaken some maori girl with some fat Kuala Lumpur girls when I see tehm for the first glimpse ...
hahaha....

hahaha! maori girls are huge.. same with other p.i.'s
