Malay Language

Malay (Jawi: بهاس ملايو) is a Malayo-Polynesian language family Austronesian language below have been used in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the environment from more than 1,000 years. Although the origin of the Malay race (in the sense that specific) which is the most original yet unknown, but the growth of the Malay language can be said from the South in the vicinity of Jambi and Palembang. [1] The earliest record of ancient Malay language is a stone inscription dated AD 682 to found in the South.

Malay is the national language of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, as well as one of the official languages ​​in Singapore. In Indonesia, the Malay language is called Bahasa Indonesia, and Malaysia, the Malay language is called Bahasa Malaysia. Apart from the four countries, the Malay language spoken by the Malay people in southern Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

According to statistics in the world of language, Malay language speakers is estimated at more than 300 million (with speakers of Bahasa Indonesia) and is the fourth language in the sequence number of the most important speakers of the languages ​​in the world after Mandarin, English and Hindi / Urdu language. In addition, the reported total of 70,000 people could speak the Malay language in Sri Lanka, while in China, there are Malay-language radio. Malay language is taught at universities in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Netherlands, China, Germany, New Zealand and some other places.

Standard Malay is a Malay Riau, Indonesia, as agreed upon by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Riau Malay is considered the birthplace of the Malay language. In Malaysia, the Malay language has changed names several times. In the early 1970s, the Malay language is called Bahasa Malaysia for political reasons. But lately, the name "Malay" is used again. Starting in 2007, the national language of Malaysia is called back to Bahasa Malaysia as a symbol of that language is a language for all and not race. In Indonesia, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia, also known as the cause of the unity of the Indonesian Youth Pledge in 1928. In Singapore and Brunei, Malay did not experience any change in name.

Malay language has many dialects and all dialects have distinct differences in pronunciation and vocabulary. For example, Java or the Malay language has many words that Java is not known by Malay speakers of other languages. In addition, the language used by the Peranakan or Straits Chinese community (a mixture of Chinese immigrants and natives) is a mixture of Malay and Hokkien dialect. The language was once widely used in states such as Penang and the Straits of Malacca. However, people now prefer to speak Peranakan Hokkien or English. Aglutinatif Malay language is the language, meaning the meaning of words can be changed by adding a certain remuneration. Generally, the stem (or root) of the verb.

The use of Malay in these countries vary depending on the history and culture. Malay language became the official language in Malaysia in 1968, but English is widely used, especially among the Chinese and India, just as in Brunei. Unlike in Indonesia, Bahasa Indonesia managed to become the main medium of instruction or a lingua franca for people of all races because of government efforts to encourage the use of Bahasa Indonesia in Indonesia other than Dutch are no longer used. In East Timor, now separated from Indonesia to East Timor nation, Bahasa Indonesia is accepted as "working languages". In Singapore, the Malay language retained its status as the national language even though Singapore has four official languages ​​(ie English, Chinese, Indian, and Malay.) In southern Thailand, the Malay language used by the people of the Malay sultanate of Patani (Pattani Malay) but did not get any recognition from the government.

In early 2004, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and MABBIM suggest Malay is to be the official language of ASEAN as more than half the population of ASEAN is able to converse in Malay. However, the matter is still under discussion.

Jawi Script

Jawi (توليسن جاوي) is an art of writing that has existed for centuries in the archipelago. Its appearance is directly related to the arrival of Islam in the archipelago. Jawi is derived from the Arabic script and Arabic letters are included in the Malay writing system.

Proof of this writing in Malaysia is the age of inscribed stone dated 702H or 1303M while Rumi was the earliest discovered at the end of the 19th century. This shows that the Jawi script was up to the country earlier than Rumi. Jawi is the official paper of the Federated Malay States during the mastering Not Associated British. Now this paper is used in the Islamic religion and Malay customs, mostly in Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis, and Terengganu.

Islamic Khat and writing continues to grow and it has proven formally by the discovery of tablets Terengganu (1303M).

Next, learn calligraphy in Malaya through education booths, Arab schools and other institutions.
