Rungus

The Rungus people, also known as the Momogun Rungus, are an Austronesian ethnic group indigenous to Sabah, Malaysia. They primarily live in the northern Kudat Division, especially in the districts of Kudat, Kota Marudu and Pitas, with small minorities also existing in the Beluran and Telupid districts on the east coast of the Sandakan Division and within the Kota Kinabalu District of the western coast of the West Coast Division as well as in the Federal Territory of Labuan. They have a distinct language, dress, architecture, customs and oral literature from other Dusunic sub-groups, with an estimate of around 74,000 Rungus people spread across the state aside from their native ranges.
