Borneo

== English == === Etymology === Probably from Sanskrit वरुणद्वीप (varuṇa-dvīpa, “island of Varuna”), therefore a doublet of Brunei. === Pronunciation === (General American) IPA(key): /ˈbɔɹnioʊ/ (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈbɔːni.əʊ/ (rhotic, without the horse–hoarse merger) IPA(key): /ˈbo(ː)ɹnioʊ/ (non-rhotic, without the horse–hoarse merger) IPA(key): /ˈboənioʊ/ Hyphenation: Bor‧ne‧o === Proper noun === Borneo A Pacific island shared by Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia; the world’s third largest island. Synonym: Kalimantan ==== Usage notes ==== Both the terms Borneo and Kalimantan are used to refer the whole island, yet the differences are mainly dialectal (Borneo are used in all three countries; while the usage of Kalimantan is restricted into Indonesia, or referring to the Indonesian portion in the strictest sense). In the past, the latter term was also used in Brunei and Malaysia, mainly by left-wing political groups that were once supported by the Old Order (e.g. North Kalimantan Communist Party). ==== Meronyms ==== Brunei Central Kalimantan East Kalimantan North Kalimantan Sabah Sarawak South Kalimantan West Kalimantan ==== Holonyms ==== Greater Sunda Islands ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ==== Kalimantan === Anagrams === Oberon, bore on, booner, Oborne == Czech == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbornɛo] === Proper noun === Borneo n (relational adjective bornejský) Borneo ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “Borneo”, in Kartotéka Novočeského lexikálního archivu (in Czech) “Borneo”, in Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (in Czech), 1960–1971, 1989 == Dutch == === Etymology === (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “From Portuguese?”) The hamlet is attested as Klein Borneo in 1984. It was named after the island, presumably for its remoteness or the perceived unpleasant disposition of its inhabitants. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈbɔr.neːˌjoː/ Hyphenation: Bor‧neo === Proper noun === Borneo n Borneo, a Pacific island shared by Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei [from late 16th c.] a hamlet in Land van Cuijk, North Brabant, Netherlands ==== Hyponyms ==== Brunei Kalimantan ==== Derived terms ==== Borneoos === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN == Finnish == === Etymology === From Portuguese Borneo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈborneo/, [ˈbo̞rne̞o̞] Rhymes: -orneo Syllabification(key): Bor‧ne‧o Hyphenation(key): Bor‧neo === Proper noun === Borneo Borneo ==== Declension ==== The external locative cases (adessive, allative and ablative) are used with this place name when referring to a location; for example, "in Borneo" is Borneolla. ==== Derived terms ==== == Malagasy == === Proper noun === Borneo Borneo == Malay == === Proper noun === Borneo (Jawi spelling بورنيو) Borneo (an island of Southeast Asia) == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology === From Malay (Pulau) Borneo. === Proper noun === Borneo Borneo (large island in South-East Asia) == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === From Malay (Pulau) Borneo. === Proper noun === Borneo Borneo (large island in South-East Asia) == Polish == === Etymology === Probably from Sanskrit वरुणद्वीप (varuṇa-dvīpa, “island of Varuna”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bɔrˈnɛ.ɔ/ Rhymes: -ɛɔ Syllabification: Bor‧ne‧o === Proper noun === Borneo n (indeclinable) Borneo (a large island of Southeast Asia, politically divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei) ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === Borneo in Polish dictionaries at PWN == Portuguese == === Proper noun === Borneo m obsolete spelling of Bornéu == Slovak == === Pronunciation === IPA: [ˈbɔrneɔ] === Proper noun === Borneo n (genitive singular Bornea, declension pattern of mesto) Borneo (an island of Southeast Asia) === References === “Borneo”, in Slovníkový portál Jazykovedného ústavu Ľ.
