Abstract
Epple states that Ngaju is spoken on the middle reaches of the Barito, on the Kapuas and the Kahayan, except for the upper reaches of these two rivers, and on the Katingan and the Mentaya Rivers. Partly due to the fact that both the administration and the mission used this language to enter into contact with other tribes living in the interior, Ngaju has become widely spread, developing into a kind of lingua franca for nearly the whole of South Borneo.
