Embaloh (Maloh) is an Austronesian (Dayak) language spoken in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.[2]: 86 Apart from Taman, it is not close to other languages on Borneo, but rather belongs to the South Sulawesi languages closest to Buginese.[3] Many speakers of Embaloh also speak Iban, leading to the adoption of some Iban loanwords into Embaloh.[2]: 114
The Kalis dialect (Kalis Maloh) may be a distinct language.[1]
