Malay language trivia
Helo - that's how you say hello in Malay.
History and background
Malay has been a lingua franca in Southeast Asia for centuries, used as a trade language across the archipelago.
Malay was historically written in Jawi (modified Arabic script) and is still used in some contexts in Brunei and Malaysia.
Indonesian is a standardized form of Malay; speakers of the two can generally understand each other.
Distinctive features
Malay has no grammatical gender, no noun cases, and no verb conjugation for person or number.
Like Indonesian, Malay uses reduplication and affixation as key grammatical mechanisms.
Malay vocabulary includes significant borrowings from Sanskrit, Arabic, Tamil, Portuguese, Dutch, and English.
