The data were analyzed by using the theory of Wardhaugh (1986:230) to find out the types, and were contrasted to find out the differences and similarities using Lado’s theory (1957:2).

In Kaidipang language there are ten types of taboo words, which are sex, bodily function, animals, death, excretion, religion, curse, devil, address terms, and activities.
