Humbayang pian di caramin
Itu pang puisi ulun nang pambungasnya

Ini ucap "ulun cinta lawan pian" yang pahabisan

Banjarese
Love poem translated into banjar (banjarese, bandjar), a form of Malay and Javanese spoken by the banjar populations. This language is found in Indonesia, at Borneo in Kalimantan, as well as Sabah in Malaysia. There are surely 4 million people who speak this language. It is divided into two main dialects (kuala and hulu), and can be written with the jawi alphabet, a derivative of the Arabic alphabet, as it's the case for different Malay languages.
History
The ancestors of the Banjarneses are: Dayaks, Javanese and Malays who have mixed. And their language based on the Malay is enriched with that of the Dayaks and Javanese.
