Smith (2017) classifies Punan dialects as follows:

Austroasiatic influence edit

Kaufman (2018) notes that some Proto-Punan words (Smith 2017) are of likely Austroasiatic origin, including the following.[2]

  • *-iap ‘count’
  • *hen ‘3.SG pronoun’
  • *buhak ‘white’
  • *obet ‘animal trap (general)’
