So I'm Kadazan, Kadazandusun to be exact. I've got an english upbringing, not to say that I was brought up in London but I do think in English. Thanks to my parents putting us in the library when we were children so we soaked up a lot of Enid Blyton's writings. So if you want a definition of Kadazan, here's one. A riotious one! Split my side, slap my knee kind of definition.
