North Bornean is a 1991 proposal by Robert Blust that the Northeast Sabahan, Southwest Sabahan, and North Sarawakan families (minus Kayan) form an exclusive unit called North Bornean. The Bornean languages, which do not form a unit in this proposal, thus consist of North Bornean, Kayan, Land Dayak, and the three Barito families.
North Bornean is not supported by the 2008 analysis.

Famous quotes containing the word north:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
