Dear friends, you will realize that it is not easy for me to write these
notes concerning your language. It is 15 years, since i last visited Sabah.
Over 35 years i had collected data for writing the Rungus Grammar to
be printed in Kudat in 1992. There were only 200 copies. Now having
started to rewrite these lessons the other way round so that English
readers could improve their Rungus, this brings some problems with it.
By proceeding to the next lessons i realize where something should
have been explained earlier or only added later on, I have first hesitated
to improve immediately what so far has been published in FB. But at
this point, i should like to make you already now familiar to my alterations of what you have
already in FB. Therefore i present you with everything i have written in the first five lessons and
add, how i want to make the next steps. By early November2012, i could finish these lessons and do
hope that you will be able to make use of them for your benefit. Traugott A. Forschner Filderstadt

Introduction:
For years I have been communicating with young people in Malaysia via Facebook, using either
Rungus or English. Manymore are just keeping on writing in Bahasa Melayu, as they had learnt in
school, telling me that they do not know or are not used to use the language of their anchesters.
Some even blame their parents having not taught them their own language. While encouraging them
to make use of Rungus, (Gonsomon, Nulu and Tobilung have only a few alterations in pronouncing)
I notice that one of the problems is the different way of writing (spelling) and speaking
(pronouncing) a word. This is a problem, the colonial government brought to Malaysia.
In Malaya, children learning to read the Al Quoran, learned the Javi alphabet letters. Then the
English introduced Latin writing as used in England and taught the children the English ABC, even
so it was written different from being pronounced. The problem was this difference between
spelling and speaking (pronouncing). And the Dutch, occupying the islands of what today is
Indonesia, introduced another way of writing Malay according how the Dutch language in the
Netherlands is spoken and written.
A simple way of explaining what Phonology is about.
When in 1957 we started a Bible School at Sikuati, I noticed that Majimil, Diyun, Osuman and
Angkangon who could read some Malay words, used the English ABC saying, E,Bi,Si, Di, I, Ef, Ji,
Etsh, Ai, Ka, El, Em, En, O, Pe, Kuw, Ar, Es, Ti, Yu, Fau, Doppleyou, Ex, Wai, Zet, which fitted
not at all to the written Malay words in the Laubach Learner Book.
So we started again right from the beginning, giving with a picture a symbol for each letter: A like
agong (Gong), B like busul, bola, (bottom, ball), D like dalus, dohon, (sea shell, me) E like
enggaton (pinang palm tree), G like godingan (Elephant), H like hakod (legs) I like idi, aki (mother,
grandfather), K like kabang (open mouth), L like lasag (sail post), M like mato (eyebrow),N like
nizu (coconut seedling) O like orod (arm or finger ring), P like pazas (Papaya), R like radu (plough),
S like sinikit (flame burning), T like tungkat (walking stick), U like ulu (head), V like valai (house),
Z like nizu, pazas, mozo, ozi, mizon ( coconut, Papaya, to follow, to like, to live at) and the
diphtongs AI like vaig, dalai, (water, maize or corn), AU like anavau, (light), karabau (water
buffalo), magazau (to cook) OI like oroloi (like) iokoi (we exclusive), OU like osilou (yellow), ikou
(you plural), with each letter being represented by a picture (a gong, bottom of a child, seashell)
even finding for the letter G a godingan (elephant with the trunk).
So in the end each letter of the alphabet as used for all the Rungus words had the appropriate image.
And being eventually copied, we had a little Primer for Rungus. To practize reading, a little booklet
to be added to the primer was written by the four fathers of the first children learning to read and
write at Sikuati explaining the life in the longhouse, of which I add to each lesson a passage for
reading practice and that whole First Reader in Rungus. To show the difference between spelling
and speaking (pronouncing) I use the brackets []

Lesson: It ongopamarasan vokon om i vaza popisuput do panarangan 1. Lesson: The vowels [wauls] I kiuni om diphtongs piuni Phonology
Once again a simple way of explaining what Phonology is aboutas mentioned before: When in 1957
we started a Bible School at Sikuati, I noticed that also Majimil, Diyun, Osuman and Angkangon
could read some Malay words, they used the English ABC saying, E,Bi,Si, Di,I, Ef, Ji, Etsh, Ai, Ka,
El, Em, En, O, Pe, Kuw, Ar, Es, Ti, Yu, Fau, Doppleyou, Ex, Ypslinon,Zet, which fitted not at all to
the written words in the Laubach Learner Book.
So we started again right from the beginning, giving with a picture a symbol for each letter: A like
agong (Gong), B like busul, bola, (bottom, ball), D like dalus, dohon, (sea shell, me) E like
enggaton (pinang palm tree), G like godingan (Elephant, H like hakod (legs) I like idi, aki (mother,
grandfather), K like kabang (open mouth), L like lasag (sail post), M like mato (eyebrow), N like
nizu (coconut seedling) O like orod (arm or finger ring), P like pazas (Papaya), R like radu (plough),

Z like nizu, pazas, mozo, ozi, mizon ( coconut, Papaya, to follow, to like, to live at) and the
diphtongs AI like vaig, dalai, (water, maize or corn), AU like anavau, (light), karabau (water
buffalo), magazau (to cook) OI like oroloi (like) iokoi (we exclusive), OU like osilou (yellow), ikou
(you plural), with each letter being represented by a picture (a gong, bottom of a child, seashell)
even finding for the letter G a godingan (elephant with the trunk).The other letters are called
consonants - koruhang di kiuni. Kabang mamakai di munung, dila ko itatalanan antava it odung b,p,
f, ko m, n, ng om i iadinoi.
So in the end each letter of the alphabet as used for all the Rungus words had the appropriate image.
And being eventually copied, we had a little Primer for Rungus.
For the moment, I try to explain the use of what in English is called “vowel” [waul] and to show the
difference between spelling and speaking (pronouncing) I use brackets [] Vowel means the letter
itself produces a sound = i hurup di kiuni nga varo uni kondiri
Teach yourself Rungus Tudukai-no i kondiri do Rungus Page 4
a) I kiuni vowel
There are five vowels a, e, i, o, u. Varo limo hurup a, e, i, o, u.
Iadino it uni ong “a” = agong, ama, amu, aki, magavang, avantang, avasih
ong “e” = enggaton, engin, elo, megol,
ong “i” = idi, inai, i valai, Dinihizan, iti, ino, iri
ong “o” = oho, Ozong, Orong, ongkukul,
ong “u” = ulu, ungkamang, uni, unopot, undiri,
b) Diphtongs -Piuni, two vowels (kiuni) are joined together as diphtongs (piuni), whereby the
second kiuni is in the international alphabet often called as being not active or voiceless) It
occurs in the second syllable. When used with suffix -an the second kiuni can change into “z”
puvalazan or “h” kovosihan
ong “ai” = amai, inai, valai, sungkabai, dahai, anggai
ong “au” = karabau, dau, ginazau
ong “oi” = oroloi, iokoi,
ong “ou” = tokou, mangarazou but rozohon

For reading praxis read a little story: Arun and Asun in the kampong_
1. I Arun om i Asun:
Varo duvo ot anak sompi kusai. I ngaran di

You notice that before every noun or name is a marker, in English called article. With lesson two
we shall learn how to use such markers before names and objects indicating the position of the noun
or pronoun in the sentence.
Take Note: Any person all over the world will be able to read and pronounce this story without
having knowledge of Momogun. He/she will be understood, as there is no difference between
spelling and pronouncing. The person has only to keep in mind: One does not give any syllable a
stress or emphasis.
Second Lesson: The marker or article, which points out and qualifies that a noun follows There are
two articles in English, a definite and an indefinite article or marker a and the a) indefinitive marker:
a man, a woman, a house, a thing, a school, a tool, a pencil, a problem. In front of a noun with an
initial vowel, an “n” is added: an egg, an elephant, an apple, an animal b) the definite marker: The
house, the boy, the girl, the door, the church, the office, the tree, which refers to a particular house,
boy, girl, door or church...
The Rungus marker, ino-no i hurup di monuduk do mozo i pongoretan, i retan dot adjective (ong
English) i (it), di (dit), o (ot), do (dot) apakai pengkaa dino:
is “i” followed by a “t” before nouns with an initial vowel: i valai, it uva, i riniba, i pomogunan, i
kampong, i vulan, i pongitungan, i kavavalazan
but: it anak, it aki, i karabau, i pongitungan, i vusak, it uva, it ombuvoi, it ongkukul, ong kodung i
pongoretan varo kiuni sid kotimpuunan.
Referring to any house uses the marker “varo” Varo valai sid himbaan, varo’t ulun sid sulap.
Different from English which only uses the article “the” and “a” for any noun, whether being the
subject or object in the sentence, Rungus uses a marker “di/dit” and “do/dot” before the noun, when
the noun/name is not the subject of the matter expressed.
It anak dot agazo, i valai dot ulun, it anggai di kuvo, i binatang do Barambangun
The difference between using “dit”and “dot” indicates the relationship being general or
specific
i valai di Asun, it anggai di Parazin, i binatang di Lagan, it anak di Arun, it uva do paranggi.
Topot, ong valai do pagong i nagama, varo tukad,
Mangakan di parangi i Asun, magandaha ialo di valai do Popot, monurat do surat sid di
Daang, i mato dot adau, i Arun manabpo di hakod di Arun.

Take Note: Any person all over the world will be able to read and pronounce this story without

spelling and pronouncing. The person has only to keep in mind: One does not give any syllable a
special stress or emphasis.
3. Lesson The root /stem of words I gamut/puun dit ongopongoretan do Rungus
The European languages like English, French, German, Spaniol ko Italy in use today are a mixture
of many languages of different tribes of the past, being influenced by further other languages over
the centuries. While Latin, the language of the Roman Empire around the time, when Jesus was
living in Palestine, has greatly influenced the European languages until today, these Latinism are
today pronounced in different ways, often hardly recognizable as former Latin words. While many
forms of words are used in a similiar way in these various langauges as nouns, adjectives, verbs and
other parts of speech, most of them follow a certain pattern and can be explained with the same
terms: nouns, adjectives, verbs, pronouns, Other languages in the world have often other forms and
ways of building compound words (adjectives, verbs, nouns etc). Rungus belongs to this second
group of langauges like Hebrew and Arab, Hindi om Kina and many other vernaculars, which use
affixes to varify the meaning of an expression.
Yet all forms carrying the meaning of a particular idea (root/stem) derive from the main part of the
expression used in communicating with one another. Like a tree which consists first of one root and
stem or trunk, from which grow out branches into twigs, from which the leaves and fruitbearing
flowers develope the product..
root/stem-branches -twigs-leaves and flowers bringing forward fruits. To explain this
developement is called Morphology The developing of forms....
It inantadon dit ongoboros di tasantanid-tanid o harati, nga retanko gamut ko puun iadko i gamut do
kazu. I kazu, nga varo laid i gamut antad di linsou dot uva, nga sumuni i linsou om sumurut i batang
ko i puun om iri-ogi mimbulai it ongoraan dit apapak om it otiniu sampai mimbulai it ongoroun om
it ongovusak do kazu di pembulai dit ongouva.
While English uses rather an additional term to explain something e.g.
Take……….kumavid, take away……..manganu,
take back….posuri, take in………...tumorima,
take life…...mamatai,take off go away,
take part…. mamung sid gamaon
the German has similar prefixes like Rungus changing the meaning of the main idea: i boros
German mamakai do prefixes miabal do Rungus di monimban di harati do gamut schneiden =
momudung zuschneiden = mongogunting, abschneiden = momompod, verschneiden = momudung
dit amu nokonong sampai osusa do pada di barang ko kumut, beschneiden-monunat, umschneiden =
momompod, Schnitt = i kopudungan, Abschnitt = i nobi di kopudungan, Verschnitt = i nobi do
kumut, Zuschnitt = i kumut di nosodia bahagi momukul, Schneiderei = i kadai do monombil do
ongosulungan, Schneider = i tukang do monombil,.schneidern = monombil. nga kavi- avi manarang

Ong Rungus: Imot= i gama mamakai dit mato. (imot, sirot, impa)
Teach yourself Rungus Tudukai-no i kondiri do Rungus Page 9
Adjective : o-imot = emot, visible
Verb mo-imo t= memot…see, mongemot….look
past tense minemot….saw miongimot looked……. nokemot have seen
imatan…. Seeing kematan, kinematan,….sight, past sight
noun pongimatan…. sight kopongimatan,…. intense look
intention mokimot…..wish to see, past tense minokimot,

tiimot, Desire to see or inspect, mokipopokotemot….. Wishing if possible to visit
past minokipopokotimot.... Imat-imatan-po…. Wait and see
Varo vokoni do sampai labaan do 150 ot uva di gamut imot. There are more than 150 alterations in
using one stem(root).
Note: With the following lessons I shall try to explain along the English Grammar Adjective, noun,
verb etc. and add how the Rungus Grammar works. For there is a big difference between English
and Rnngus and it is not very easy at each time to explain to and fro which language rule is
prevailing. By using the technical Terms of Linguistics, there are three steps to be described:
Phonology the way how the single letters are pronounced
Morphology how the various affixes give the stem/root various meanings
Syntax how sentences are put together expressing matters, actions and aims ...
It is necessary at this stage to move to and fro following the two language rules. Manjadi sid

4. Lesson Nouns I Pongoretan om ngaran do barang
There are different kinds of nouns :
common nouns the cat - it uzing, the dog -it asu, the house - i valai, the head - it ulu, the foot i
hakod, the knive i pisau, the book - i buuk, the boat - it alud, the tree - i kazu, the walk - i panau, the
wall - i rinding
proper nouns or names Asun, Arun, Kudat, Asia, with initial Capital Rungus, Ubian, Dayak,
Kudat, Sandakan, Kota Kinabalu, Tenom
abstract nouns the fear i korosizan, the joy i kohigakan the rule i hoturan Plural of nouns ongo-
The dogs, it ongoasu, the houses it ongovalai, the days it ongoadau or it inadahan if concerning long
past days the men (man) it ongokusai, the women it ongoondu (ongondu) the thoughts = it
ongopongitungan, the longhouses it ongobinatang The teeths it ongonipon.
Pronouns
Personal pronouns representing the nouns:
Arun likes koliabas I Arun tiakan do koliabas
He picks koliabas iosido mongupu do koliabas
“he” refers to Arun who likes guava he picks them from the tree English and Rungus use three
personal pronouns for single persons, matters, nouns and three pronouns for more then one
1st person singular I together with the marker i-oku = ioku The marker is joined to the pronoun.
When the pronoun is suffixed to a verb, no “i” Marker is needed
I go = nau-oku or with emphasis Ioku o mamanau
2nd person YOU I-kau = ikau You go mamanau-ko ko ikau o mamanau
3rd person HE /it Ialo/ izau he goes mamanau ialo ko izau o mamanau
Plural More than one many
1st person we go, mamanau tokou or emphasized i tokou o mamanau
2nd person you go mamanau-kou or emphasized ikou o mamanau
3rd person they go mamanau iolo, ioti or emphasized iolo o mamanau ko ioti o m..
Note: It is a nonsense writing this marker “i” combined with the pronouns with a “y”. This
“I” is one phoneme and should not be alternating with “y”. It is a matter of Momogun
spelling, not following either the English spelling or BM spelling. ioku, ikau ialo, iolo, iokoi, i
tokou....ioti. (Compare how English spelling uses the letter “y”.Learning English means learing
each word seperately only, why, whisky, yacht, Yankee, year, yes)
Dual form: We two go mamanau kito emph. I kito o mamanau (Rungus is one of a few languages
which uses DUAL forms)
Possesive pronouns: My house - valai-ku, Our house - valai-za ko valai di tokou, emphasized i
dohon do valai di tokou do valai inclusive) exclusive dahai do valai
2nd person your house i valai-nu your house (plural) valai dikou ko i dikou do valai
3rd Person his/her house i valai dau their house
i valai diolo/dioti dual valai di kito di kito o valai
Teach yourself Rungus Tudukai-no i kondiri do Rungus Page 12
Demonstrative pronouns: point to something which is close by, further away or locally and in
matters of time very distant: This Iti, that ino. that far away ilo, In time iri these pronouns use like
the marker a final “ti” before a vowel-initial noun. Emphasis repeats the pronoun afterthe noun This
house Iti valai diti, that house ino valai dino, that house far off ilo valai dilo, that house some time
ago Iri valai diri
Lokative pronouns: explain the direction or distance of the noun by adding a initial “s” to the
demonstrative pronoun siti, sino, silo, sori, siri the house here iti valai siti, the house over there ino
valai sino, ilo valai silo, iri valai siri if indicating the place of the object (noun, person) the locator
sid changes to sitid, sinod, silod, soirid, sirid We meet at this house Minsamung-okoi sitid valai, the
hospital is sorid Ranau that war took place at Iraq i rumpak dino nokosunu sorid Iraq.

5. Lesson Adjective Panarangan di kobuatan ko kogunaan do barang, hal (noun)
The adjective is a word which explains the form, quality, use or relation of nouns. In English it
precedes the noun in question The big house The long house The tall tree
I panarangan di kobuatan do barang manarang di kogunaan om kapakazan ko i buatan di nununopo.
Vokon nga ogulu di noun, vokon-no ong kosuhut di pongoretan
The big house i valai dot agazo ….. it agazo o valai
the tall person it ulun dit anaru ….. it anaru ot ulun
the fast car i kurita di alangkas ….. it alangkas o kurita
the clear explanation i panarangan dit atalahas ..... it atalahas o panarangan
the little food i kakanan dit okudik ….. it okudik o kakanan
All adjectives in Rungus use a prefix A or O according to the first vowel of the root word
and are formed from the root word consisting of
a-langkas fast o-doot slow
o-orod=orod round a-lavis pointed
a-sakau dirty a-alus=alus clean
a-naru long o-nibak short
a-vagat heavy a-gaan light
a-gazo big, large o-podok small, little
This is the English way of describing different functions of a word: Adjectives, nouns, pronouns,
adverbs, gerundives, prepositions, conjunctions, verbs in their different use.

6. Lesson MORPHOLOGY I tasantanid-tanid o vaza mamakai di toriso-iso o gamut/puun
The Momogun language has stem morphemes, affix morphemes and non stem words, such as
enclitics, conjunctions, articles and interjections. There are three forms of affixation: prefix, infix
and suffix
I boros Rungus mamakai di gamut/puun dot tomod manarang di harati. Varo-po ongobahagi do
boros di ong kopiamung sid gamut/stem nga monimban om posondot di harati di gamut/puun.
Vokon-no it i amung ogulu di gamut ino-no mu-valai =muvalai-oku I build a house prefix
muvokon-no ong mozo dit hurup otimpuunan minuvalai-oku diri I built then a house infix –in and
add a suffix /varo-po i kosuput sid pompod di gamut/puun. kavavalaz-an building, houses suffix –an
Examples:
Iaditi, mong-umpug to come or bring together. i-numpug being together pong-umpug-an gathering.
Minongumpug Past tense came or brought together This affixations are prefixes in front, infix “-in-“
indication past tense and suffix being added to the stemp/root.
I ngaran dit ongosuput dino, prefix, infix om suffix, ko apajak Affix = it inamungi mogulu ko sid
tanga ko sid pompod do gamut/puun.
B.10 The stem morphemes
B.11 the simple stems
There are stems, which are in themselves substantives as they are names of things. Other stems
do not occur in the mere stem form but are always affixed as e.g. qualifiers of verbs
sangkul… hoe i sangkul… the hoe manangkul-oku …I hoe
sigup…. tobacco it sigup… the tobacco monigup-oku… I smoke
rinding…. wall i rinding…. the wall mongorinding-oku… I make a wall

2.6O Articles and pronouns
2.61 the articles
You notice that before every noun or name is a marker, in English called article. With lesson two
you learned how to use such markers before names and objects indicating the position of the noun
or pronoun in the sentence.
Sid Rungus atalahas dokodung varo boros kananganko hal, ngaran ko pongoretan om ngaran do
barang, varo-no apakai i, or it omo ko ot do tomod pentahan do varo hal dit atarangani. Iadino,
nitarang laid sid tutukan koduvo, ino-no:.
Second Lesson: The marker or article, which points out and qualifies that a noun follows There are
two articles in English, a definite and an indefinite article or marker
a) indefinitive marker: a man, a woman, a house, a thing, a school, a tool, a pencil, a problem
panarangan do bai apajak manarang varo ulun, kusai, binatang, himbaan In English in front of a
noun with an initial vowel, an “n” is added: an egg, an elephant, an apple, an animal
b) the definite marker: The house, the boy, the girl, the door, the church, the office, the tree, which
refers to a particular house, boy, girl, door or church... The Rungus marker, ino-no i hurup di
manarang ombo i pongoretan o sumuhut, i retan dot Adjective (ong English) i (it), di (dit), o (ot), do
(dot) apakai pengkaa dino: is “i” followed by a “t” before nouns with an initial vowel: i valai, it uva,
i riniba, i pomogunan, i kampong, i vulan, i pongitungan, i kavavalazan but/topot it anak, it aki, i
karabau, i pongitungan, i vusak, it uva, it ombuvoi, it ongkukul, ong kodung i pongoretan varo kiuni
sid kotimpuunan
Teach yourself Rungus Tudukai-no i kondiri do Rungus Page 36
Referring to any house uses the marker “varo” Varo valai sid himbaan, varo’t ulun sid sulap. Ong
apajak manarang do hal, iri-ogi Varo’t ulun, varo kazu, varo pongitungan om i iadino Different
from English which only uses the article “the” and “a” for any noun, -apajak ko avalang it ombo
,whether being the subject or object in the sentence, Rungus uses a marker “di/dit” and “do/dot”
before the noun, when the noun/name is not the subject of the matter expressed. It anak dot agazo, i
valai dot ulun, it anggai di kuvo, i binatang do Barambangun
The difference between using “dit”and “dot” indicates the relationship being general or specific.
Ino-no i pitonidan suvai “dit” , to avalangi, ko “dot” ong apajak momoros i valai di Asun, it anggai
di Parazin, i binatang di Lagan, it anak di Arun, it uva do paranggi. Topot, ong valai do pagong i

2.61 The articles I suput di mamalang di tomodon do pongoretan (Noun) There are three articles
(markers of substantives) i it is the personal article before names of person I valai I Angkap i
oboros-no. Ong varo kiuni sid ulu do pongoretan, iri-ogi inamung i hurup t. Bai sid ngaran, amu
apakaii: i rondogung, topot it uva, i taap, it onsung
o/ot is the vocative article when adressing a person by name, ong tumoguvang dot ulun, apakai do
kumiboros sid dau dot, O Angkap ko turu ot uva, limo ot ulun
it marks the substantive or substantified subject
ot marks the suppositioned substantive, or substantified subject
dit marks the attribute, if attribute is a known or certain person or thing or singularity
Valai dit ongoulun, it ongokadai dit Ongokina
dot marks the apposition, if the latter is general term valai dot ongoulun
or collective name
The collective prefix son.-/ san- (2.462) stands also in place of an article. son-/san- (som-son-song)
mamalang ong varo apajak ot otuboros. sompomogunan Sombinatang, songoulun
After the preposition sid only direct names of persons use the personal article. Sid himbaan, sid
valai di Sopirid
The final -t of the articles is left unpronounced in fast speech, especially if the following substantive
has an initial consonant. It is, for convenience, not produced in writing.
