The instrument of this this research were Swadesh as a primary instrument and Notehofer vocabulary as a complementary instrument. The data analysis was done by comparing PSR language to LWG language from Dayak language family and BJR language from Melayu language family covering phonological and lexical aspects.</p><p>The result of the synchronic study shows several things on the phonological aspect. First, PSR and LWG language have similarity in the distribution of vocal phoneme of /o/ and consonant phoneme of /q/ which are not found in BJR language that merely has high vocal of /i/ and /u/ and low vocal of /a/.
