Kapuas River with a total length of 1,090 km (680 mi) and a
drainage basin of 81,675 square kilometers (31,535 sq mi) in
South Kalimantan ,
Indonesia . It originates in the Muller Mountain Range, from where it flows southward into the
Java Sea . Its most important
affluent is the
Martapura River , and it passes through the city of
Banjarmasin .

This river is the location of the closest relative of the
Malagasy language of Madagascar, the
Ma'anyan language of
Dayaks , from where settlers arrived in Madagascar (presumably in waves) from the 3rd to 10th century and from which the current island nation's population largely traces its origins.
Geography

tropical rainforest climate (designated as Af in the Köppen-Geiger climate classification).
