Speakers at a forum say it is important to preserve Sabah's indigenous languages. FMTNews Sabah

The federal government should allow states such as Sabah to determine their academic syllabus to protect their native languages, says Wilfred Madius Tangau.

In 2018, Kadazan Dusuns represented the largest minority at 17.8%, followed by the Bajaus and Muruts . He said the Kadazan Dusun language faced many challenges although it had been taught in schools in the state over the last 20 years. He said a general framework could be drawn up that would enable the federal government to preserve uniformity across Malaysia but still allow the states to have the final say on the knowledge areas or languages that the local community should study.

“The DBK can also play the role of maintaining and developing relationships with the government and private sector as well as individual philanthropists in securing funds for the preservation of all the ethnic languages,” she said.
