Words are in western (Panngi) dialect unless otherwise stated. Known variants in Bunlap sub-dialect (Bu), south-eastern (Ranwas) dialect (SE), southern (Poinkros) sub-dialect (S), F dialect (F), and Ha dialect (Ha) are shown alongside.

The dialects shown are only those in which I can attest to the existence of a word; it may in fact also occur in other dialects.

Nouns shown here ending in -n change their endings depending on whom they belong to: bôtôk "my head", bôtôm "your head", bôtôn "his/her head", etc.

In addition to this list, a basic comparative word list can be found in the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database.
