Annotation

This paper investigates the role played by the Kadazandusun Language Foundation in changing the Kadazandusun language ecology. Over the last 15 years, important progress has been made, including the production of a trilingual Kadazandusun–Malay–English dictionary and changing attitudes toward mother-tongue use.
