Kubu is a
Malayic language spoken in the southern swamps of the island of
Sumatra in Indonesia by the
Kubu people (Orang Rimba), many of whom are nomadic. There is a degree of dialectal diversity.
In Bukit Duabelas (Jambi), the Rimba language is very glottal, which initially makes it difficult to understand.[2] Some of the variations in Kubu isolects have been presented by Dunggio.[3]
