Banjar love poem
Caramin
Humbayang pian di caramin
Itu pang puisi ulun nang pambungasnya
Tatapi, humbayang pian capat banar hilang
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.
Ancestors
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.
