The language is spoken by roughly 3600 inhabitants of the Sarawak region.
Remun is the primary Iban-Remun language dialect in the Borneo area, and particularly the Sarawak region.[2] Despite being 88% similar to the Iban language, individuals in locales that speak Remun state the language is easily hidden from outsiders' understanding, even speakers of Iban.[2] Remun is endangered, as its speakers are slowly shifting towards speaking Iban.[citation needed]
