Other comments: Gerai and Sekadau are two closely related languages of the the language groups south of the Kapuas River here in West Kalimantan.  We have personally worked with two, Gerai and Sekadau. They are very closely related.  About 200-250 years ago, the Gerai were part of the Sekadau group. Both these languages are also very similar to the Laur River language. I looked up the ethnologue reference for Semandang.  Gerai is listed as a dialect of Semandang.  That is definitely not true.  Laur, Sekadau and Gerai are all dialects of the same language.  However Semandang is very different from those languages. Gerai is located near Semandang, but the languages are not the same. Note that the old Gerai uses 'sowɛ' for one and the traditional spelling [j] is a voiced palatal affricate as in IPA [d͡ʒ].
