Abstract

The Tatana-speaking people are living exclusively within the boundaries of the Kuala Penyu District of Sabah. There are approximately 5,500 Tatana, the major¬ity of whom live in the north-eastern half of the district. Tatana villages extend as far south as Menunggang KP, where the Tatana begin to mix with the Bisaya (+ Bisaya) . The village of Menunggang KP itself is half Tatana and half Bisaya. Individual Tatana households extend nearly to Menumbuk KP , but these are scattered between Bisaya and Kedayan (+ Malayic) . The village of Bundu KP is considered to be in the very heart of the Tatana area. There are also several Tatana villages along the coast of the northern peninsula, and a few are located across the narrow channel of the Kimanis Bay in the interior area extending toward Membakut.
