'''Malay''' (Malay: ''Bahasa Melayu'' in Singapore and Brunei, ''Bahasa Malaysia'' in Malaysia) is the sole official language of Malaysia and Brunei, and one of four in Singapore. It is closely related to Indonesian, but the main difference is the vocabulary: Indonesian has been heavily influenced by Dutch and Javanese (and also Sanskrit), while Malay has been heavily influenced by English and Arabic.

Grammar

Malay word order is subject-verb-object like English. There are no plurals, grammatical gender, or verb conjugation for person, number or tense, all of which are expressed with adverbs or tense indicators: ''saya makan'', "I eat" (now), ''saya sudah makan'', "I already eat" = "I ate".

A characteristic of Malay is that it is a so-called '''agglutinative''' language, which means that the suffixes are all attached to a base root. So a word can become very long. For example there is a base word ''hasil'' which means "result". But it can be extended as far as ''ketidakber'''hasil'''annya'', which means his/her failure.

Pronunciation guide

Malay is ''very'' easy to pronounce: it has one of the most phonetic writing systems in the world, with only a small number of simple consonants and relatively few vowel sounds. One peculiarity of the spelling is the lack for a separate sign to denote the schwa. It is written as an 'e', which can sometimes be confusing.

Vowels

; a : like 'a' in "father" ; e : like 'e' in "vowel" (schwa) ; e, e : like 'e' in "bed", usually the difference between a schwa and an e is not indicated in writing ; i : like 'i' in "thin" ; o : like 'ow' in "low", in open positions or like 'o' in "top" in close positions ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop", in open positions or like 'o' in _ghope_h in close positions

Consonants

; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; c : like 'ch' in "China" ; ch : old spelling of '''c''' ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; f : like 'ph' in "phone" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; j : like 'j' in "jug"; in older romanizations also the vowel '''i''' ; k : like 'c' in "cat", often silent at the end of a word ; kh : like 'ch' in "loch" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (with "u", almost always, only in Arabic borrowings) ; r : like 'rh' in "rheumatism" ; s : like 'ss' in "hiss" ; sy : like 'sh' in "sheep"

; t : like 't' in "top" ; v : like 'ph' in "phone" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks" ; y : like 'y' in "yes" ; z : like 's' in "hiss", like 'z' in "haze", like 'dg' in "edge"
