History
The Malay language, also known locally as Bahasa Melayu, is an Austronesian language spoken by the Malay people who reside in the Malay peninsula, southern Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, central eastern Sumatra, the Riau islands, and parts of the coast of Borneo. It is an official language of Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore. It is also used as a working language in East Timor. It is said that the pure Malay words are "Beras", "Besi' and "Babi". All the other words were actually borrowed mainly from Bahasa Indonesia, Arab, Sanskrit, Tamil and other languages. The official standard for Malay, as agreed upon by Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, is Bahasa Baku, the language of the Riau Islands, long considered the birthplace of the Malay language.
