| Summary: | Iban language is a branch of the Malayic language family. In Sarawak, only the Standard
Iban variety is widely recognized and spoken. Meanwhile, Iban Remun is another Ibanic
variety but has received less scholarly attention. Based on linguistic studies, no research has
been conducted on the phonology of Iban Remun, specifically in terms of vowel, consonant, and diphthong phonemes, as well as phonological processes. This study employs a
descriptive approach using qualitative methods. The analysis results show that several
phonemes present in the Malay language are not used in Iban Remun, such as /α/ and /ɔ/
(vowels), /q/, /r/, and /z/ (consonants), and the diphthong /oi/. This study found that the
consonant phoneme /r/ does not exist and is replaced with /ɣ/. Similarly, the phoneme /k/ is
rarely used in Iban Remun, particularly at the end of words. Additionally, many words that
contain the phoneme /h/ at the beginning of words undergo deletion in this language. For
example, the word [hati] in Malay becomes [ati] in Iban Remun. This study is significant as it
contributes to a deeper understanding of the Iban Remun language |
