As far as I know, they is no specific word use for us Bidayuh to greet people. Its more on action. I dont know how our people long time ago greet each other. But now it's more general and mostly follow other language. Common word like hi or hello is widely used. Others also the same only it's translated to Bidayuh language.

e.g

Good Morning - Silamat Burupagi
Good Evening - Silamat Bingaru
Welcome (Selamat datang) - Silamat Mandug
Nice to meet you - Silamat bidapud

Others like "have a nice day, good luck etc..." I never heard that in Bidayuh. If any please let me know.

p/s: I see a lot of people visit my blog. So please leave a comment or post something at the shoutbox. :D
