First of all, after searching through websites few of times.. I hardly can see any of website providing my native language translation or teaching about it. I can count with my own finger:- the amount of website about Dusun language. So, here I am... A sumandak (Native Dusun Girl) will try her best to share some of her time of teaching Dusun. But to be honest, I'm not quite professional myself but I have a lot of sources to begin with. Anyway, if there any mistake or anything. Don't be shy to correct my mistake. Well, I am after all still young and still learning. Some of words already evolution-ized as time pass by, by us youngster.
