Malay speaker here. Standard Indonesian is undoubtedly a variety of the same language. If I were to meet an Indonesian and we both spoke our standard forms of each other's languages, we'd understand roughly 85% with minor misunderstandings. Indonesian to me is basically 'Baku Malay' or Malay with pronunciation that is exactly the same as the spelling; they don't do the schwa endings and their pronunciations tend to be more crisp. As for the casual forms, they're very different. Casual Indonesian, particularly the Jakartan speech is a bit hard to understand. It's like listening to Malay but words get cut and some words function differently. Picture it like English being 'Me gether with her na go vacati do the first time'. Thank you for this video by the way, Paul. Edited: Perfected isn't the right word to describe baku so I changed that to describing what Baku means instead. I should also mention that not all Malay dialects pronounce the same. For example the letter R; Indonesians and Sabahans roll their Rs, standard Malay uses a coronal R like in English, while many regional dialects like Northern and East Coast dialects and the Sarawakian dialect uses the guttural R, like the R in French. Feel free to agree or disagree and add comments of your opinions.

I'm an Indonesian, born in Sumatra so I'm quite familiar with original Malay words (people in Sumatra island use Malay dialects, too besides Bahasa Indonesia). We Sumatran can understand Malaysian Malay more easily than Indonesian people from other regions. Sumatra's regional dialects are heavily influenced by Malay dialects because we have the same root language with Malaysia. Many Malaysian Malay words are still used in daily basis in Sumatra but not in bahasa Indonesia... because bahasa Indonesia also adopt the words from other influence like Javanese, Arabics, Sankrit, Dutch, Chinese, Papua, Maluku, Sulawesi, Kalimantan etc. Bahasa Indonesia is influenced by so many languages.... only that Sumatra's Malay being the root of it but bahasa Indonesia is still very very diverse language, combination of so many foreign countries words and region words.

Sonya Putri, Thank you. Your comment is the most educational of all the comments I read here (no offence to other commenters). Yes, I hear that in Indonesia, Malay is regarded as regional dialect (where you live?) among many dialects throughout Indonesia. Whereas, Malay is the national language in Malaysia. Furthermore, today in Malaysia we have many regional variations from the standard Malay learnt at Malaysian schools, and I think it will not be a problem for you to understand the regional variants as your dialect is Malay(?). But it is difficult for Malaysians to understand the non-Malay regional dialects in Indonesia, as we are not familiar with them compared to the Malay dialect that you speak.

Not really. BI and BM are significantly different compared to American and British English. A better comparison would be Scots and American English. There are significant differences in vocabulary and grammar, whereas the differences between American and British English are mainly the accent and minor differences in the choice of words and spelling (lift vs elevator). The differences between BI and BM go way beyond that with vocabularies that are not common in one or the other language, differences in grammar and not to mention the accent. However, both languages are still similar enough to be mutually intelligible. So I still would not consider both as separate languages but rather as varieties of the Malay language.

Alan Oken I am Australian & I first went to KL on the 1.1.1971 & stated to learn Malay for 6 weeks & then on to Thailand where I spent over a year & learnt a lot of Thai then I have been back & forth from that region for many years & have spent many year's in Bali & Java & & travelled in Sumatra & Sarawak & Thailand may times in Singapore & Penang & I speak pretty good Indo with a Indo & Balinese accent, but when I am in Malaysia even though I know many of the words in Malay they still ask me where I learned to speak Malay because they pick up on my Indo accent or rolling my R . But the also tell me I speak good & the understand me well even if I am speaking to Chinese in Maya or in Singapore who have a particular Chinese Malay accent I use that accent LA & they dig it hat I can speak with that accent also , when I go across the border by train or bus from Malaysia to Thailand I use both Malay /Indo & Thai in one sentence & I play game of using one word Thai & the next word Malay /Indo & they are quite surprised I can converse like that in both languages.. & even now I live in Australia & have friends I speak Indo to & my partner is Thai & my son who is born in Bangkok is Thai / Australian & I speak Thai to them & my Thai friends & I have lots of Indo friends on face book I write in Indo to them & others in Thailand I write in Thai to them I have spoken Thai & Malay /Indo for 48 years now & I eat & cook Thai & Malay / Indo/Singapore/ & ( Indian sometimes ) everyday of my life also.

Dutch is from Low Frankish branch, German is from Elbe branch, and English is from Anglo-Frisian branch. Also, Dutch and German have had continuous contact throughout its history while English is isolated in the British Isles, making language shift more prevalent. Those words you mentioned actually have cognates in English with the same meanings, but they're obsolete/old-fashioned now. (Dutch - German - English) Blijven - Bleiben - Belive Nemen - Nehmen - Nim English's "keep" doesn't have any cognate in Dutch nor German, while "take" is actually a loanword from Old Norse replacing "nim" and only has a cognate in Dutch (taken) but it's also obsolete.

As a Filipina who lived in Sumatra for a year and visited Malaysia twice in between, my impression was that BI and BM seemed like two dialects of Old Malay. While learning BI, I was already stunned at how many similar words BI shared with various Philippine languages, but when I got to Malaysia I even more surprised at how much BM I could already understand. I was never exposed to casual BI of Java, so that might also be a factor. It was also interesting to attend a joint concert of musicians from the two countries, where there were two emcees/hosts: one spoke BI and one spoke BM. I was essentially hearing their two distinct accents in real time. It was a fascinating experience.

[@fajanuari7542]

The root of Indonesian language is Malay language which is also the root of Malaysian language, but Indonesian was influenced by Dutch during the Dutch colonial period and in its development, Indonesian became more complex and had many new vocabulary of languages absorbed from local languages or ethnic languages of regions spread across Indonesia, also absorbing from English as an international language and also from Arabic which is synonymous with Islam because Islam is the majority religion adopted by Indonesian people. However, much of the new Indonesian vocabulary has gone through a process of standardization and has become very different from its root language, namely Malay, and that Indonesian words is adopted and used by Malaysian people in their daily language. The fact is that Malaysians sometimes use Indonesian more often and they claim they don't understand how come they fluent in Indonesian, the fact is they often watch Indonesian-language content on social medias or another media

In the holidays I spent in Papua i learned the local "papuan dialect". so for instance: English: I fly to Papua by airplane BI: Saya terbang dengan pesawat ke Papua BMP: Saya terbang dengan kapal udara ke Papua PD: Sa terbang deng pesawat ke Papua Kapal udara literally means "air ship" because in that time Papuans never saw airplane before. the plane had the form of a ship (kapal) and flew in the air (udara), so thats probably how they named it then, pretty logical to me hehe... in the local dialect, we cut the phrases but also talk fast. our sentences for instance are shorter, sometimes not clear to indonesian speakers, which makes me laugh some times haha... English: I want to go to the toilet BI: Saya mau pergi ke toilet BMP: Saya mau pergi ke kakus PD: Sa mo ke kakus The word for toilet we use is kakus or kakhus, it is a dutch loan word from groningen, kakhuus, which means shit house XD. Again in common tongue we shortened the word Saya to Sa and changed the word Mau to Mo. English: Where are you going to? BI: Anda mau kemana? BMP: Kamu mau kemana? PD: Ko pi mana? So here in BI they formally use Anda for you while we use Kamu as a formal word. Ko is more a word you use to your friends or cousins. but the funny side is that if you, like us, talk fast and you dont know the papuan dialect "ko pi mana" means something else. "Kopi" is the word for "Coffee" and "Mana" means "Where", so in BI it would mean "Where is the coffee" XD there are a lot more diffrences in words between and sentences, if you want to know more, let me know! Oh and I also know the language of Biak, Wos Byak. the language spoken by the Biak people of the island Biak, an island of West Papua. If you want to know more let me know!

I am Indonesian, back then when I was studying in France, I have one colleague in the lab which is Malaysian, he is a middle-aged man, a very nice guy. Even though our languages are similar but it is reaaaaly hard to understand each other when we use our own casual language, so we must talk in the formal form to understand each other (once, I met his seven-year-old son, and can't understand 80% of his words). It was super funny when we stuck in conversation because some words are completely different between us. "Pohon" and "Pokok" in the video reminds me one occasion when he drove me to the woods, and he talked like "pokok-pokoknya besar sangat", and I was like "pokok???". We were stuck for a whole minute and decided to talked with english instead... "I mean, trees. The trees are soo big here", "OH, you mean trees!!"... Hahaha, I really miss those moments, I hope he is fine and healthy right now...

[@Esperalzi-Esfaral]

I had same problem in US with my Indonesian friend. He said to to me"Lihat itu, pantatnya besar sekalI". Being Malaysian I was shocked, coz pantat means vagina in Malaysia when he was referring to the girl's buttock..I said "Mana pantat? Saya tak nampak pun, kan pantat dalam kain"..he replied "Kamu buta begitu besar pantatnya kamu gak nampak?"..and I said "Let's speak ENGLISH instead, our languages are so different, I am confused", so we ended up speaking with each other more in English..

Pinter banged pak. Saya sangat setuju akan penjelasan nya. Anda bahkan sampai tau kalimat yang digunakan sehari-hari dan bahasa gaul slang Jakarta, kereeennn beud. Walaupun beberapa kata masih bisa dikembangkan jadi luas lagi tergantung dari keadaan dan kebutuhan kalimat tersebut. Contoh di kalimat "Gue ngundang dia buat main bola ama kita" biasanya di lingkungan saya lebih sering pakai "ajak/ngajak" daripada "ngundang" karena kalau ngundang/mengundang sifatnya lebih serius/formal atau lebih dipakai untuk ke orang penting yang dituakan bukan untuk ke teman seusia gitu pak jadi biasanya kita pakai kalimat ini untuk ke teman atau yang ke lebih muda usianya "Gue/gw ajak dia buat main bola bareng kita".

[@azzamfs]

BM speaker here! Great video, very in-depth! Another BM-BI difference that I noticed throughout the years, is that the adjectives are sometimes inverted to each other. For example, in 5:40, 'pohon' and 'pokok'. In BM, 'pokok' is for big tree while 'pohon' is for smaller trees or plants. I understand that in BI, 'pohon' is used for all types of trees, regardless of size. Another one: 'sejuk' and 'dingin'. In BM, 'sejuk' is cold (like, zero celcius) while 'dingin' is mildly cold, or cool (air-con temperature). In BI, it's the other way around as well. Another one: 'lumayan'. In BM, 'lumayan' is considered as extremely good, but in BI, 'lumayan' is considered as just good enough or tolerable. So if someone says "Hadiah Lumayan", in Malaysia it would mean 'very excellent prize', but in Indonesia it would mean 'just decent prize.'

[@feryth]

I've never heard of the word pokok used to mean small trees

[@44894490]

As BI speaker, "pokok" is part of tree, "pokok" is mean "root" (akar) in BI

[@azzamfs]

Oh sorry my bad, thanks for the corrections!

BI speaker here: Dingin: cool temperature,( neutral feeling/observation) Sejuk: cool temperature --> comfortably cool. Any kind of cool/cold temperature can be 'dingin'. But the one that you FEEL comfortable is 'sejuk'.

A few years back we had a meeting with our Indonesian counterparts in Jakarta. I was surprised when the Chairperson spoke in English. I thought we would converse in BI or BM. But we responded in English too. Then I realised that the rest of the Indonesian delegation was very quiet. Very strange, because normally they were talkative and loud. The meeting became a session between us and the chairman only. Finally, a lady from the Indonesian delegation sought and got the Chairman's permission to speak in Bahasa Indonesia..... and everything became lively, all of us conversing in BI and BM interchangeably. Actually, It was never a problem to us.

[@mr.gochin1018]

But funny stuff is - in Indonesia people are all speaking the national language Bahasa Indonesia no matter what are their ethnic or race :) So the language itself is used as the force to unite the country, hence lot of government effort was used to enforce the usage of the language while co-exist with regional language/dialect. This is something that was not done thoroughly in Malaysia as we can see the people are not as united and still seen grouping within same race/language. I saw once lady in Malaysia got into the news because during court process she apparently didn't understand Malay language. Interesting, isn't it? Now it is mostly settled and some effort can be directed to expand the major popular language such as english (or perhaps mandarin) to be well-understood more commonly.

Hi Paul, I'm a native Malay speaker from Malaysia. I'm impressed by the accuracy of this video. Usually, watching this type of videos makes me feel very awkward, even when the videos are made by native speakers. But this video is an exception. Kudos! Tahniah! Some notes here: 1. There are efforts, or political wills at least, by some people to name Bahasa Melayu in Malaysia as Bahasa Malaysia. You may see these two names are used interchangeably by some people. You may search images of "buku teks bahasa melayu", meaning Malay text books, and you can see different name is used on different book cover. However, IMO this is academically unpopular. 2. 5:40 Sometimes, the words that are common in BI are preferred to be used in BM literary works such as in songs and poems, because it somehow gives a sort of 'softening effect' in pronunciation and connotation. Example are the word pohon for pokok (tree), harus for mesti (must) and so on. 3. 9:32 IMO, the word selalu and sentiasa do have different meaning. Selalu means 'often', but sentiasa means 'always'. Saya selalu makan di kedai vs Saya sentiasa makan di kedai. Thank you.

I still can't wrap my head around it. 😀

@@anincognitouser27 I see 👌 Actually, my point was, that the words that are 'more common' in BI is used for songs in BM. For example, the word pohon is still a BM word, but I neither used it in daily speaking and writing nor heard or saw them in daily usage. But in songs, I think we'll intuitively use pohon. I'm trying to find an English equivalent for this, but I couldn't find any yet.
