Im was born a Kadazan heritage but sadly to say that i only understand Kadazan but cannot speak fluently... as i was blog hopping this morning a came across a blog by Hahangai Avanus she wrote a post about Months and Days in KadazanDusun which cought my eye... i always thought that monday was called tadau koiso...sorry for my bad kadazan ah.... but to my surprise it is not... i asked my mother about it and she says.... it is an old dusun language...very good for my knowledge... so guys.. FYI... to those who was born KadazanDusun... but modernise by civilazation... hehehe
