'''Bukar–Sadong''' is an [[Austronesian languages|Austronesian]] language mainly spoken by [[Bidayuh]] people in Sarawak but also in bordering regions of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. McGinn (2009) proposes that it is the closest relative of the divergent [[Rejang language (Indonesia)|Rejang language]] of Sumatra.<ref>McGinn, Richard (2009) "Out-of-Borneo subgrouping hypothesis for Rejang".
