Embaloh (Maloh, Tamambaloh) is an Austronesian (Dayak) language spoken in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Apart from Taman, it is not close to other languages on Borneo, but rather belongs to the South Sulawesi languages closest to Buginese. Many speakers of Embaloh also speak Iban, leading to the adoption of some Iban loanwords into Embaloh.
This language is mostly spoken in Kapuas Hulu Regency of West Kalimantan in the districts of Nanga Embaloh, Embaloh Hilir and
Embaloh Hulu.
