The Bidayuh is the second largest ethnic group in Sarawak. They are found mostly in Kuching and Samarahan. The Bidayuh can be divided into five groups according to their respective dialect which are the Bukar-Sadong, the Biatah, the Jagoi, the Selako and the Rara. The Bukar-Sadong is found mainly in Serian, while the Biatah is found in Kuching and the Jagoi in Bau. Both the Selako and Rara are found in Lundu. The Bidayuh is known as Land Dayak. In older times, most of them were farmers. But now they are found in public services and business sectors. Traditionally, the Bidayuh also lived in longhouses just like the Ibans. Nowadays, they prefer to live in individual houses.
