Pasa Ular

Pasa Ular (pah-SAH OOH-lar) is an Austronesian language spoken in the Island of Panau by the Ular Tribe, Malay Archipelago. This is the Panauan dialect used by the Ular Tribe as well as the Ular Boys in Panau.

Related to Bahasa Panau, this one also has Malay and Indonesian loanwords, but the only difference is that it has more Micronesian, Hindi, Tamil and Thai words than Bahasa Panau.

Bahasa Panau and Pasa Ular have almost the same grammar so Panauans can easily learn Pasa Ular.

The language uses Latin, Tamil, and Thai alphabets.

Plurality (Pluraliti)
Just repeat a noun, like for example, children = anok-anok, goat = kiamping-kiamping, etc.

Pronouns (Pronun-pronun)
Since there are no possessive forms for plural pronouns, use the formula: (noun) + (pronoun).

To use the noun "aju"which means dog, has a lot of possessive combinations However, plural pronouns should not be confused with the sentences:
 * ajuak = my dog
 * ajuam= your dog
 * ajusay= his dog
 * ajunay = her dog
 * aju yewi = our dog (not including you)
 * aju hami = our dog (including you)
 * aju dnong = your dog (you guys)
 * aju hewir = their dog

Aju-aju hewir = Their dogs

Hewir aw aju-aju. = They are dogs.

The notable difference is seen, in which in the second sentence, the word "iwe" is placed, which means is or am.

There are some pronouns for objects like:

Ayo -> "This"

Jip ---> "That"

In order to tell "this one" or "that one", and etc,:

Dayo ---> "Here"

Dajip ---> "There"

Gayo =====> "Like this"

Gajip ====> "Like that"
