Malaysian vs Indonesian (Same or Different?)

Can Malaysians and Indonesian understand each other? How similar are they and what is the difference between them? Although the languages are to a large extent mutually intelligible, there are variances and the two languages have differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and spelling, which we will discuss in this episode.
In this video Yoni (Indonesian), and Muhammad (Malaysian) will demonstrate to what extent they can understand each other.

Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia) is a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language has been used as a lingua franca in the archipelago for centuries. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor.
Malay is an Austronesian language spoken in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore and also used in some parts of the Philippines as a trading language. Prior to the arrival of Islam in Southeast Asia, the Pallava, Nagari, and old Sumatran scripts were used in writing the Malay language. As their rulers converted to Islam, and the religion began to spread across the region, a modified form of the Arabic script (Jawi) was formed. The arrival of the Europeans brought the Latin script, and in recent times, the Latin-derived Rumi alphabet has become the most commonly used for both official and informal purposes.

In Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore, Bahasa Melayu refers to the Malay that they speak as well as to the Malay language as a whole. In Indonesia, by contrast, Bahasa Melayu refers specifically to the language of indigenous Malays, and is classified as a regional language belonging to particular regions or ethnic groups. That is to say Indonesia classifies Malay as a separate language from their national language Bahasa Indonesia.

It's like calling the Filipino language the Tagalog language. The difference is that Filipinos don't mind calling it Tagalog language. While Indonesians REALLY don't like calling it the Melayu language.

Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia are the two standardised registers of Malay. Stemming from the same source, the two languages are mutually intelligible. However, there are significant differences in vocabulary and pronunciation. Linguistically, the relationship between the two is more distant than that between British and American English, but closer than that between Spanish and Portuguese.

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

the relation is rather like Czech and Slovak, or Danish and Norwegian (especially the Bokmål variant of Norwegian).

[@kulinermedia4310]

It's totally different languages though, there are a lot of differences, because mostly indonesian will not get any points whenever they communicate with Malay, I am indonesian myself, and I don't really understand malay, just only a few words have the same meaning. But I don't care, because Bahasa Indonesia is well spoken across indonesia, I'm from Sumatera, Lampung Province, I'm Lampungnese myself, that's my ethnicity, I do speak Lampungnese Language, Indonesian and of course English and a bit Japanese. Peace out 👌

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

@@kulinermedia4310 saying "totally different" is not 100% correct. there are still more similarities than differences; plus, the so-called differences are mostly vocabulary preferences. another good example is German of Germany with Swiss German.

[@kulinermedia4310]

@@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001don't try to give any example and shit bro, throw it away, we talk about language that has been developing a lot in the last 4 decades, Indonesian language has been developing in many aspects, and it still continues till now, meanwhile Malay language has been destroy by mixing the "english" with "Melayu" itself, it's not even pure melayu, this phenomenon called "code mixing", this is linguistics phenomenon that create "a weird language" that far away from it original language. And at the same time, indonesia language has left its melayu characteristic, making its own rule to standardize and develope the language, so no need to talk about geographical area to assume this language has similarity to other, we can see clearly to what happens now to the language itself. The only similarity between Malay and indonesia language is that they have the same history of using the same language 1000 years ago, because its coming from the same roots, for example melayu was the official language of Sriwijaya Empire which included the language of trade in melacca straits at that time, but it was so long ago we had the same official language, now it's just totally different, and only a few thing is still similar. Take a look in Pidato Ir. Soekarno in every moment of Indonesia Independence day, then you compare it to the speech of Malaysian leader who live in the same era of Ir. Soekarno. The question is, were they using the same language or is there any similarity of the language they used?? Just find it yourself, so you will understand why it's just totally different now

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

@@kulinermedia4310 the code-mixing often used in Malaysia is mainly regional or informal; standard Malay is very similar to standard Indonesian by around 90% (and, as both languages evolve, the difference mainly comes from vocabulary preferences and colonial influence). I have read Malaysia's proclamation text and I can say that I understand it 90++%. similarly, I have listened to the speech from Singapore's National Day in 2019 (which is in standard Malay used in Singapore), and I understand it better than I do to some Indonesians who speak code-mixing with their regional languages.

Karyawan is usually refer to a person producing artistic work or an author of a book rarely to someone who is just a casual worker or "pengusaha kaki lima" . The Malaysian may not be well versed with literary malay as Kaki Lima is quite a common phrase in Malaysia for a the pedestrian five foot way.

[@collectivelove2275]

There is also a cultural element that plays into the way these languages develop. Indonesia is an incredibly diverse nation spanning an archipelago of islands. The country is home to countless languages and ethnic groups with Bahasa Indonesia serving only as a lingua franca. Because of this diversity, Indonesian culture, as it were, is more open to different influences and more flexible when it comes to their language. As a result, Indonesian borrows much more heavily from other languages, both internally and globally, and is continuously infused with new words. Malaysia on the other hand was in the past a more homogenous society. Thus, Malaysians tend towards preserving the purity of their Malay. This bears out in the fact that despite Malaysia being a former English colony, Indonesian now has more English loanwords that are used interchangeably with their Indonesian equivalent.

[@ImperialStreak]

Most words in Indonesian that are similar to English are taken from Dutch, owing to the Dutch colonisation ofc.

The Malaysian seems to know a thing or two about Indonesian, as he knows words like ‘tante’ and ‘gibah’ the latter being more of a recent slang. The Indonesian doesn’t seem to know anything about Bahasa Malaysia though, which I find more entertaining as he struggles with ‘membawang’ 😂 Anyways, these examples are quite formal for both languages so the intelligibility is quite high. People tend to think that the only difference between the two are the loanwords ie Malaysia borrows from English while Indonesia borrows from Dutch. The truth is, Indonesia borrows from a lot of other sources like Sanskrit and Latin, especially for terms relating to science. There are of course false friends like ‘butuh’ and even word constructions are different, for example ‘contains’ is ‘mengandungi’ in BM but it’s ‘mengandung’ in BI, the latter can’t mean anything but ‘to get pregnant’ in BM. They might come from the same source (Riau/Johor Malay) but these are two different languages, and you need to pick one. You’re not going to be fluent in BM just because you understand BI and vice versa, the way you’d understand British and Australian English if you’re from the US.

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

maybe higher; up to 90% in formal speech. they become more different because of casual, regional and slang words.

[@newbabies923]

Formal language BM and BI is about 90% the same. It become lower since both Malaysian and Indonesia speak slang or bahasa pasar in daily life. Malaysian usually use Kuala Lumpur dialect while Indonesian use Jakartan dialect in everyday life especially on the Internet

[@collectivelove2275]

Even when BI and BM do use the same words, oftentimes they have very different meanings. ‘Tandas’ in Indonesian means to accentuate. In Malay it means toilet. ‘Percuma’ in Malay means free, while in Indonesia it means useless. This is just a small sample of words that could potentially cause confusion. In many other cases an innocuous word in one language is a lot less family-friendly in the other.

Not only slangs, BI uses a lot of Dutch and Javanese words which can make a sentence completely unintelligible for a Malaysian. For instance, 'Omnya ga berhenti ngomong kayak knalpot rombeng, benar2 ga ada rem'.

[@nihazdamba]

For those non malay/indo speaker, basically these two language derived from the same old malay, but evolved into two standards due to past colonial history. Even though the standard language can be understood by both speaker up to 80% but when it comes to spoken language, it could go lower (but this depends to how much exposure ones had with another language). These are notable differences:- 1. Loan words. Indonesian have tonnes of dutch loanwords due to dutch 300+ years colonial rule. So word like "wortel" (carrot) and "handuk" (towel) are totally alien to malay. Also due to javanese are the majority in indonesia, there are also a lot of javanese loanwords in indonesian which totally not mutually understood by malay counterpart. 2. Same word different conteks. For example "lumayan". In indonesian it means worth it like "lumayan bagus" (very good), "lumayan indah" (very beautiful). But in malay, "lumayan" only applicable in moneytory conteks, for example the investment is "lumayan", meaning the investment has a good return. 3. Same word different meaning, for example "percuma" in indonesian means pointless, but in malay it means free of charge. 4. Different choice of word. In indonesian, delicious is "enak" but in malay is "sedap". Even though we know both words has same meaning but very seldom for a malaysian to say "enak" because it sounds too formal. But again, this choice of words also different to different state/provice/region. lastly the way we pronouce roman alphabet. Due to english influence to malay, we pronouce ABC exactly like english. While indonesian pronouce "Aa" "Ba" "Che". All abovementioned statements made by me as a malaysian perspective, i hope i do get the indonesian examples correct. Please correct me if im wrong.

[@kilanspeaks]

So your translation is incorrect as you think it means something like ‘very’ while it’s quite the opposite. ‘Lumayan bagus’ actually means ‘not bad’ so if it’s concerning a merchandise, for example, it means that it’s of okay-ish quality. While ‘lumayan indah’ means something ‘doesn’t look too bad’ so when you’re talking about nature, for example, it means that the view is sort of pretty. So don’t get too excited if an Indonesian say that you’re ‘lumayan cakep’ because it means that you’re just a little bit pretty/handsome 😁 I was confused when I saw ‘hadiah yang sangat lumayan’ in Bahasa Malaysia because that doesn’t make sense in Indonesian. Apparently it means something like ‘very luxurious prize’ but in Indonesian ‘lumayan’ is not usually used with ‘sangat’ because it means ‘not bad’ 😄 It’s not a good promotion if you’re saying that you’re going to win prizes that are not that bad 😂

Perhaps that is the most important difference of all. While the Malay world is united by their Malay language and consequently their Malay identity, Indonesia has co-opted the Malay language as a means of unifying their own diverse peoples. Indonesia has claimed Bahasa Indonesia as their national language and is developing it separately from Bahasa Melayu in ways that suit its own country’s needs. Yet the very fact that Bahasa Indonesia is based on the language of their neighbours to the west facilitates connection and exchange within the entire region.

Malaysian and Indonesian used to be the same language under the name "Malay" ("bahasa Melayu"); European colonies play a big role in making it separate and split into two registers we have today. there are two significant events that can even reinforce this theory: 1. Anglo-Dutch Treaty in 1824. I think, after this era, there were many newly-coined words by a lingustic institution (I don't remember exactly the name) that now become ordinary Malay[sian] words; the only one I can remember is "pejabat" that means "office" (while, in Indonesian, it refers to the person who works in a governmental institution). 2. Youth Pledge of Indonesia in 1928. it is written there that the unifying language is "bahasa Indonesia", meaning "Indonesian language" or "language of Indonesia". . in its current form, Malay[sian] and Indonesian, in their formal versions, are around 90% mutually intelligible to each other; the mutual intelligibility gets reduced when each speaker uses their own dialects or slang words.

One of the primary differences between the two languages are the influences that have shaped the language in Indonesia versus the rest of the Malay world. Malaysia is a former British colony, whilst Indonesia is a former Dutch colony. Thus, Bahasa Melayu tends towards English loanwords, while Indonesian tends to borrow from Dutch. For example, the word towel is called ‘tuala’ in Malay, phonetically borrowing from the English word, whilst in Indonesian towel is ‘handuk’, from the Dutch word ‘handdoek’ and similarly from the German word ‘handtuch’ (literally hand cloth). The Portuguese have also had an influence on language in the region: Indonesians call Christmas ‘Natal’, while generally in Bahasa Melayu it is called ‘Krismas’. Similarly though, both Indonesian and Malay use the word ‘meja’, as influenced by ‘mesa’ for table, in Portuguese.

Confussing malayu malaysia language in teks ...no idiom and have no sentence structure.. Melayu malaysia very different with BAHASA INDONESIA

[@sonnymak6707]

I am going to say something controversial. Indonesian and Malay is not sister languages . They are not even twins. They are one and the same person with split personality. One of that personality admits the both are the same existing in the same body and mind . While the other personality vehemently denies and goes to great lengths to show and pretends it is different

Bahasa means Bhasa/Language in India 🇮🇳

The difference between Indonesian and Malaysian Malay is that Indonesian is a loan language from English, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Indian, Arabic, Sanskrit and others, while Malaysian Malay is only Malay, Indonesian and Malaysian Malay are not. the same but have the same words because Indonesian is a loan language from Malay so Indonesian and Malaysian Malay are very different, aka not the same.

Bahasa Melayu dgn bahasa Indonesia itu bahasa yg sama😒😒... Berbeza itu hanya beberapa istilah mengikut kearifan lokal.. dari segi, kosa kata tradisional, kita 99% sama...

I feel Indoensian uses more English and Dutch words and older words at the same time while Malay uses more simple words

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

Indonesia was a former Dutch colony and Malaysia was a former British colony, no wonder why. but, in the 1800s, there was an attempt in the Malay Federation to coin new words based on Malay root-words (and maybe a few Sanskrit-derived words).

[@mahirhaxhiu7846]

Malay shouldn't have any Dutch words, right?

[@introtwerp]

@@mahirhaxhiu7846 generally maybe not because only Indoensian was colonized by the Dutch right

[@voaniopalm3209]

Indonesian were influenced more by Dutch, while Malaysian were language by English. But local languages also play big role in the diversification of the 2 languages. And for me as an indonesian, many malaysian words are more archaic

[@arexta153]

While the Malay world is united by their Malay language and consequently their Malay identity, Indonesia has co-opted the Malay language as a means of unifying their own diverse peoples. Indonesia has claimed Bahasa Indonesia as their national language and is developing it separately from Bahasa Melayu in ways that suit its own country’s needs. Yet the very fact that Bahasa Indonesia is based on the language of their neighbours to the west facilitates connection and exchange within the entire region.
