Notes:  King, Victor T. 1976. The Maloh language: a
vocabulary and summary of the literature. The Sarawak Museum Journal 24.45(N.S.):137-171. 
Problems:  SA: Maloh is closely related to South Sulawesi languages (Adelaar 1994, 1995). (relationship is blurred by the strong Malay (and/or Iban) lexical influence).
