使用する際の注意点

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).
