The name "Malayu" comes from the Malay Kingdom that once existed in the Batang Hari River area, Jambi. Riau SUMATERA INDONESIA In its development, the Malay Kingdom finally surrendered and became subordinate to the Sriwijaya Kingdom.[16] The use of the term Malay also extended beyond Sumatra, following the territory of the Srivijaya empire which expanded to Java, Kalimantan and the Malay Peninsula. Based on the Laguna Copper Piece inscription, Malay traders have traded throughout Southeast Asia, also taking part in bringing Malay culture and language customs to the region. Malay eventually became the lingua franca replacing Sanskrit.[17] The glorious era of Srivijaya was a golden age for Malay civilization, including during the Sailendra dynasty in Java, then continued by the Dharmasraya kingdom until the 14th century, and continued to develop during the Malacca Sultanate[18][19][20] before this kingdom was conquered. by the strength of the Portuguese army in 1511. The entry of Islam into the archipelago in the 12th century, was well absorbed by the Malay community. Islamization did not only occur among the common people, but had become a feature of the government of the Malay kingdoms. Among these kingdoms are the Johor Sultanate, Perak Sultanate, Pahang Sultanate, Brunei Sultanate, Langkat Sultanate, Deli Sultanate, and Siak Sultanate, even the Karo Aru kingdom also has a king with a Malay title. The arrival of Europe has caused the Malays to spread throughout the archipelago, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Overseas, they have many positions in a kingdom, such as syahbandar, ulama, and judges. In subsequent developments, almost all of the Archipelago Islands received direct influence from the Malays. The Malay language, which has developed and is used by many Indonesian people, was finally chosen as the national language in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.

The similarity may come more from rhythm than linguistics. Te Reo Maori doesnt use a lot of letters used in Arabic (b, y, s etc), syllables always end with a vowel (e.g. Mao-ri, wha-nau, ti-ka-nga), and it only has one h sound compared to Arabic, which has the phlegmy h (like in 'marhaben') or soft h (like in 'ahlan').

The name "Malayu" comes from the Malay Kingdom that once existed in the Batang Hari River area, Jambi. Riau SUMATERA INDONESIA In its development, the Malay Kingdom finally surrendered and became subordinate to the Sriwijaya Kingdom.[16] The use of the term Malay also extended beyond Sumatra, following the territory of the Srivijaya empire which expanded to Java, Kalimantan and the Malay Peninsula. Based on the Laguna Copper Piece inscription, Malay traders have traded throughout Southeast Asia, also taking part in bringing Malay culture and language customs to the region. Malay eventually became the lingua franca replacing Sanskrit.[17] The glorious era of Srivijaya was a golden age for Malay civilization, including during the Sailendra dynasty in Java, then continued by the Dharmasraya kingdom until the 14th century, and continued to develop during the Malacca Sultanate[18][19][20] before this kingdom was conquered. by the strength of the Portuguese army in 1511. The entry of Islam into the archipelago in the 12th century, was well absorbed by the Malay community. Islamization did not only occur among the common people, but had become a feature of the government of the Malay kingdoms. Among these kingdoms are the Johor Sultanate, Perak Sultanate, Pahang Sultanate, Brunei Sultanate, Langkat Sultanate, Deli Sultanate, and Siak Sultanate, even the Karo Aru kingdom also has a king with a Malay title. The arrival of Europe has caused the Malays to spread throughout the archipelago, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Overseas, they have many positions in a kingdom, such as syahbandar, ulama, and judges. In subsequent developments, almost all of the Archipelago Islands received direct influence from the Malays. The Malay language, which has developed and is used by many Indonesian people, was finally chosen as the national language in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.

Yes, it's very smooth sounding! Their Polynesian "a" vowel sound is less open than ours in Maritime Southeast Asia. Our SE Asian "a" sound is almost like "æ", it's very clear sounding but can be sharp or whiny haha.. Madagascar has a softer "a" sound because of that Bantu influence so it sounds more chilled, and Samoan, Hawaian, Maori and Fijian has an almost Aus/UK English sounding "ah" sound for "a" which is very laid back. They are very attractive languages to listen to, there are no final consonants ("langit" for us, is "langi/rangi"for them, "manok" for us, is "manu" for them) so the languages roll off the tongue smoothly!

As an Indonesian who was born and raised in Sulawesi, who have learnt English and Spanish, I feel like Filipino is the combination of 5 elements (Malay, English, Spanish, Javanese, and Sulawesi-Filipino local terms) altogether, fair, and equally... without making one language as the specific base... So there's no domination to one another... Just a random thought, only if the Philippines chose to adopt Malay as Bahasa Kebangsaan or Wikang Pambansa (national language)... Then I think, Filipinos wouldn't have a language barrier to communicate with people from Australian Cocos and Christmas Island, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Southern Thailand, and Timor Leste...

[@ukkaju2751]

Adopting Malay as the lingua franca is impossible. We were colonized for 300 years by the Spaniards, and another 20+ years by the Americans which heavily implemented English at schools. It's just not something we 'choose'. We, too have many languages throughout thr country that evolved through the years. Also, back then, natives spoke their own languages and the mestizos and full-blooded Spaniards spoke Spanish, and they never bothered to learn our languages. Hence, Spanish loanwords are heavy on many Philippine languages. With all of these foreign influences, adopting Malay is just impossible.

[@SaifulHarlindong]

@@ukkaju2751 I see, thank you for sharing.... Nice 👍🏼, I give your comment thumbs up... Your lingua franca changes through centuries. That's why people from Malay speaking countries especially my country feels like "understand" Filipino while hearing it spoken but not really understand it at the same time, because we notice a lot of common words being used, but have no clue about the rest of the words, and the structure. Well, maybe Bahasa Sug and Illocano are the closest to Malay but you guys stick with Tagalog. Same goes to people from Spanish speaking countries,, when they heard Filipino language. They also notice some common words that they thought they understand but not really know what exactly you guys are talking. Chavacano on the other hand, is the only language that resemble to Spanish.

This is so interesting! I've always wanted to study comparisons between these languages. I, a Visayan Filipino, have one day seen a product that had a different language in it although I initially thought it was coming from a local manufacturer. Turns out, the product was manufactured in Malaysia. I've read the inscriptions and they all contained almost the same words we have in the Philippines although I now for sure that they may be used differently. The word "hari" which to us means king was used frequently on the inscriptions of the product which made me think that perhaps the use of the word was different because there was no "king" to be found in the packaging and has nothing to do with the other details etc. Till I read about Behasa Melayu and some Indonesian words that really has some connection to the words we currently use. We also look like them. I wonder if I have relatives in their places too. It's not impossible.

IMHO it's hard to be a "purist" here because a lot of the local terms were adapted/borrowed from Spanish and English. According to langfocus' website, an estimated 20%-33% of Tagalog vocabulary is of Spanish origin. That's 333 years of Spanish colonialism for us. Also, when you immersed yourself to the masses, native languages are still being used especially in the provinces and urban communities. So it's not technically dying :)
