groupsDusun

groupsDusun refers to a collection of datasets or resources related to the Dusun people. The Dusun are an ethnic group indigenous to the island of Borneo, primarily found in the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, as well as parts of Indonesia's Kalimantan. These groupsDusun resources might encompass linguistic data, ethnographic studies, cultural information, historical records, or genealogical data pertaining to various Dusun subgroups.

The Dusun people themselves are diverse, comprising numerous sub-ethnic groups such as the Kadazan-Dusun in Sabah, who are often considered a single linguistic and cultural entity despite internal variations. Other prominent Dusun groups include the Rungus, Lotud, and Dusun proper. Information gathered under the umbrella of groupsDusun aims to document and understand the rich heritage, traditions, and societal structures of these communities.

The creation and organization of groupsDusun datasets can be driven by academic research, anthropological fieldwork, cultural preservation initiatives, or even by members of the Dusun community themselves seeking to document their identity and history. Such collections can be invaluable for scholars studying Borneo, linguists analyzing Austronesian languages, and for the Dusun people to connect with their ancestral heritage. The specific content and focus of any given groupsDusun collection will depend on the purpose for which it was compiled.
