The concern of language endangered is serious when dominant speaker stop using theirs heritage language meanwhile begin using other language such as English and Bahasa Malaysia in their daily conversation. This scenario happens to Dusun language in Sabah. Where only older generation fluently spoken with this language meanwhile, most children rarely speak or do not know this language. This awareness of language extinction is a must for parents to teach their children to speak their own mother tongue instead of teaching major language. Therefore, the purpose of this application is to develop a mobile based application with implementation of augmented reality (AR) in motivates children to learn Dusun vocabulary besides preserving the existing of this Dusun language in the one-third of the population in Sabah.
