| | Malay people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Malays are also linguistically related to the Polynesian and Micronesian groups of the mid-Pacific, as members of the far-flung Austronesian family of languages. | | | Malay cultural influences filtered out throughout the archipelago, such as the monarchical state, religion (Hinduism/Buddhism in the first millennium AD, Islam in the second millennium), and the Malay language. | | | This people speak various dialects of Malay language. |

| | Unsurprisingly, a set of Malay words naming natural products of the East Indies have also come into the language (but not, as I say, those of the spices, whose names long predate direct trade with the area). | | | From late medieval times on, a Malay pidgin called Bazaar Malay (melayu pasar, “market Malay”) became a lingua franca, the common trading language of a large part of the East Indies. | | | This word was originally bambu in Malay, became mambu in Portuguese and bamboes in Dutch; nobody seems to know why the final “s” appeared, but when it became an English word the “s” was taken to be a plural and we ended up with a form very close to the original Malay. |

| | This Sanskrit element forms such an integral part of the Malay vocabulary that in spite of the subsequent infusion of Arabic and Persian words adopted in the usual course of Mahommedan conquest it has retained its ancient citizenship in the language. | | | The number of Portuguese, English, Dutch and Chinese words in Malay is not considerable; their presence is easily accounted for by political or commercial contact. | | | The Semang, as they are most usually called by the Malays, are Negritosa small, very dark people, with features of the negroid type, very prognathous, and with short, woolly hair clinging to the scalp in tiny crisp curls. |

| | M A C V A Y S I A: The MacVaysian Invasion: English words in Malay |
| | The Malay language has been used as a common language throughout the Malay Archipelago for centuries, which is one of the reasons the Indonesians adopted it (in a slightly modified form) as their national language. | | | Unlike many of the languages in danger of being lost, however, Malay is indeed a vibrant language that has adapted and survived in much the same way as English (most of the words in English came from other languages, and there wouldn't be much left if we stripped it down to the original Anglo-Saxon vocabulary). | | | Most Malay words came from other languages including (but not limited to) Sanskrit, Arabic, Javanese, Portuguese and, you guessed it, English. |

| | Before the coming of the British, Dutch and Japanese, each of whom promoted their own language curriculum, Malay was the preferred language of choice in doing business with other people outside of one's own community. | | | It appears that the degree to which Chinese or Malay is the predominant language of discourse is a measure of the extent of acculturation of the particular peranakan community. | | | Malay, particularly the bazar or "pasar" Malay, has been the primary lingua franca, or "business language" of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia between the many different ethnic groups. |

On dialects: I am actually very comfortable with dialects more so than most modern Singaporeans. | | | The rise of English in Singapore as the language of social mobility dislocates her Chinese-educated parents and the dialect-speaking elderly - they are the casualties of the efficient English world. |
