As a foreigner who had studied the history of the languages of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei, they all have the root in the Malay language group. However Indonesian language has evolved due to localization and became a language uniquely of its own, while the Malay languages of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei remained largely the same. Southern Thailand also consists of predominantly Malays, so they speak the Kelantanese dialect of the Malay language.

[@ladycempluk2481]

But, John McWhorter(linguist) suggested that colloquial Indonesian would be an ideal universal language for the world

[@josephmanzuni8593]

@@ladycempluk2481 Possible, but Indonesian is less identifiable to countries in the region, as it is more homogenous compared with Malay which is more identifiable as there are even Malay speakers in Cambodia, Laos and Thailand and not much of Indonesian spoken outside Indonesia in the Southeast Asian region.

[@brotherkanereacts1391]

Omg! So TRUE! But Indonesia Netizen can’t accept that Fact.

[@noxxturnal]

It’s so true about Indonesian language has evolved due to localization, also by other languages such as Sanskrit, Tamil, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Portuguese, Dutch, English. And yes, thats what made our language uniquely of its own 👍🏼

[@erlangwind]

As a Bahasa Indonesia speaker, I fully accept the fact of our Bahasa Melayu origin, but I also agree with you on ours evolving differently than the other variations. On the issue of localization, even if Malaysia has different Melayu dialects in each of their states and still consider them Melayu despite those differences, the case is different than ours as many of our local languages (which we also incorporate to the language time by time) are either not Malay or have been far separated from their Malay family in west Indonesia and peninsular + borneo malaysia. One may argue that adding new foreign vocabularies into a language doesn't change its original heritage, such as English remaining English no matter how many new vocabs are introduced, but one can also say that a type of English may become less English as before as it further deviates from its source material/base language. We also don't know if time would show whether a language would become entirely different eventually. I mean, roman languages, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese are all rooted from Latin, a different language. Who is to say that Bahasa Indonesia would not be its own in say like, 300 years from now despite rooted in Bahasa Melayu? Sorry for straying far, but perhaps the following is also important in this context: "Why are Indonesians so eager to dissociate from Alam Melayu?" This is probably what goes on in the minds of many Malaysian netizens. So much that often Javanese ethnic, the majority in Indonesia, becomes the scapegoat, accused of "cleansing Malays", "hating Malays". I can't speak for the other Indonesians (whatever ethnicity they are) and their "battles" with Malaysian netizens online, but I don't hate Melayu. For me, a Melayu identity is but a part of Indonesian identity. We are still struggling with javacentrism left by previous regimes, and taking up a "Rumpun Melayu" recognition in order to bridge friendship with other countries feels unfair to the many ethnic groups in Indonesia that are not Malay, either by Indonesian definition (ethnic group) or Malaysian/other Malay countries (Muslim, use Malay language, and apply Malay culture). I think, If we truly want to be rumpun, we must account for everyone. I'd propose a Rumpun Nusantara instead.

[@zenmetsuzogo4005]

“Bau Kencur” is mistranslated by the Indonesian speaker and the MC. It is a derogatory term but it doesn’t mean airhead. We have a term for airhead in Indonesia which is “Bebal.” The phrase is pointing toward a naive person who often pretend to know things. It means you are too young to understand. Why is the aromatic ginger that smelled good is used for a such derogatory term? Kencur is an aromatic ginger traditionally used as a warming medicinal salve rubbed for babies and little children when they are cold or sick. Hence, babies often smelled like aromatic ginger back in the day. When Indonesians say you still smell like an aromatic ginger, it means “what do you know? You are too young and still smell like a baby.”

[@rezadroidjr]

Good explanation of Bau Kencur hahahha nice😂👌

[@SetuwoKecik]

Oh i thought the aromatic ginger is used as a phrase because since its smells good, its not stained with any bad smell yet, meaning the person in question is not exposed to the reality of world yet 😂 Guess i went too far with my analysis.

[@norzainimohd-zain1325]

There's not much difference as the root language is still Malay. The Malay language has been the lingua franca in the Malay Archipelago/Nusantara region here in South-East Asia for centuries. That's why the national language of Singapore (which was under the Malay peninsula state of Johor), Brunei & Malaysia is Malay. Indonesia call the language Indonesian language. Southern Thailand & Southern Philippines speak Malay as well but with their accent/dialect. &, like Malaysia, Indonesia has many different accents/dialects too mainly due to the many different islands in Indonesia.

During the colonial era, the Dutch didn't want the locals to learn Dutch, so that the locals couldn't understand them when they're speaking, instead they used the Malay language, which already a lingua franca for traders in the Nusantara, to rule the locals, later the Malay language in Indonesia evolved into what we know as Bahasa Indonesia today. "Why Doesn't Indonesia Speak Dutch??“ by Your Brother Explains actually covered this subject very well I suggest all people check that one out.

[@user-zz3ie8uu3o]

Thank you for the insight. I’ll check it out. I love learning about history from other countries

[@Northerners1989]

That a good tactics from the dutch

[@LLLanguagesT]

I don't think that's the main reason why the Dutch didn't teach their language to the Indonesians. During the VOC's rule, they thought it's a waste of money to teach the locals because they'd have to establish and fund schools to teach their language. Instead, they chose the easier/cheaper route to learn the local lingua franca (remember that the VOC only thought about profit at the time). However, later on in the 1900s, because of the Dutch Ethical Policy, they did start teaching the language to the natives, a lot of schools for the natives were established (including private educational instutitions like Jamiat Kheir, Pesantren, and Taman Siswa) and at the time Dutch was required in order to pursue higher education or to enter university (Sukarno is one of the famous examples who did this, and of course he spoke Dutch too). That was abolished, however, when the Japanese arrived and also when the independence movement was growing in the 1940s (I also watched the video you recommended btw).

Both standard Malaysian and standard Indonesian are derived from the Riau dialect of Malay, but the standard Malaysian is more influenced by English mainly but standard Indonesian is influenced not only by Dutch, but also the various local languages throughout Indonesia. However, mainly they are derived from the same source, so they are similar naturally

[@norzainimohd-zain1325]

Riau? The Malay language officially became the lingua franca of this Malay Archipelago/Nusantara region during the Melakan Sultanate empire/Kesultanan Melayu Melaka. Riau was a vassal of Johor that only came into being after Melaka (16th century), Kesultanan Johor-Riau-Lingga. The Malay language has already been spoken for centuries in Sumatera & surrounding areas which includes the Malay peninsula, Semenanjung Tanah Melayu. There was no 'Indonesia' back then in the 15th century (Melaka Sultanate/Empire), & what more as early as the 5th century (Melayu-Jambi Empire). You can even trace the Malay language (Melayu kuno/ancient) as far back as the BCs. 'Riau' Sultans only came into light during Melaka Sultanate era. They were small Sultanates & not a big empire like Melaka.

@@norzainimohd-zain1325 sorry, the dialect is Johor-Riau dialect, not just Riau dialect, my mistake on that. Both standard forms used it as the basis since there were many dialects to choose from, so they need one as the basis to form the standard forms. I don't know why exactly Johor-Riau is preferred in this situation. The Malay language is always around, we are talking about the modern defined standard forms.

When I saw the video of a Portuguese when she said "escola" which means school in English while in Malaysia we say "sekolah", which is very similar bcos we pronounce it as "skolah" without the E in normal conversation. Must be we inherited in from the Portuguese colonizer. Makes me revisit other words in Bahasa Melayu that we use... In normal conversation, Malaysian actually say everything without the E like "kreta, mreka, brasa, slalu, blajar,slamat"... however when in formal writing we would put it "kereta, mereka, berasa, selalu, selamat." So, the original Bahasa Melayu spoken person must be speaking like ascola -skolah. It's not a wrong Bahasa Melayu pronunciation. It only be written that way in formal manner (with E). This is the part where never be highlights... It's always the Suka - Suke, which is more of a dialect to me.

Indonesia is not the same as Malaysia from language to culture and NOTHING IS THE SAME EVERYTHING IS OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT, what if I said North Korea and South Korea are the same? do South Koreans accept it?

[@boboboy8189]

I think Korean understand each other but north Korean obviously speaks in old language meanwhile southern Korean Will speak more in english

[@user-uf5ye5xz9w]

@@boboboy8189 Are you sure that South Korea wants to be equal to North Korea?

[@wannaim6958]

@@user-uf5ye5xz9w To answer your question, YES! Koreans in general accepted that they are the same people. Same ethnicity. But somehow divided into two countries because of political agendas and wars. How do I know this? Because my Korean language lecturer is a Korean and she explained this issue in details. Obviously, you need to spend your time more on reading rather than commenting without basis.

@@wannaim6958 from your IP you are not Korean why do you answer as if you are Korean?

[@wannaim6958]

@@user-uf5ye5xz9wWhat is your English's comprehension skill? Did you not understand? You are asking Koreans here is pointless since they rarely commenting on Roman alphabets and the video is not about their country's interest. What a silly troll. If you really want an answer, I can get my friends though albeit that is pointless as well because you are just a troll.

Years ago, meaning about 20 years ag, we can understand almost 95% of Indonesian Language in movies, but now due to slangs esp films by/about younger generation it dwindled to about 80 to 85%.... With all these anak2 JAKSEL slangs, javanese words and this combined shortform of words..

[@rikiyaaragaki]

that's how language work dude, it's just evolve more and more

The way I saw Sophia I think she felt embarrassed and shy because many of these Malaysians feel uncomfortable when talking to foreigners. I know that there are a lot of feelings like this among Malaysians because I'm also a Malaysian.

I think, the easiest country when I am traveling abroad is Malaysia. Have similar food, similar language, and most importantly similar price XD
