This video was recorded by Kunto Nurchayako in Borneo, Indonesia. Benyadu', also known as Benyadu, is an indigenous Dayak language of Borneo, and one of the few to have been studied, classified, and recognized by language lists like Ethnologue and Glottolog. Borneo's Dayak language family is extremely diverse and under-researched, meaning that many Dayak languages remain unrecognized, undocumented, and without the necessary materials to formally teach them.
