Appleton, Ann Speak Melanau Mukah: an English - Melanau Mukah word and phrase list. Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. ISBN 978-967-5527-01-2 (2010)
Abstract
The list of words and phrases in this booklet was compiled by a New Zealander, Ann Appleton, who carried out long term anthropological fieldwork in the Melanau kampongs around Mukah in the early 2000s, as part of her doctoral research. The word and phrase list conforms to Melanau as it is spoken in the kampongs on, and in the vicinity of, the Mukah River, hence "Melanau Mukah" in the title. A number of different Melanau dialects exist and are used throughout the wider Melanau coastal region. These linguistic differences are particularly apparent between communities situated on the different rivers of the region. However, Melanau Mukah is widely understood throughout the region.
