How Similar Are They? Can They Understand Each Other? (Indonesia vs Malaysia)

[@josephmanzuni8593]

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.

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.

“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😂👌

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.

[@User000-o5y]

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

[@Northman46]

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).

The name "Malayu" comes from the Malayu Kingdom which once existed in the Batang Hari River area, Jambi, Riau, SUMATRA, INDONESIA. During its development, the Malay Kingdom finally submitted and became subordinate to the Srivijaya Kingdom.[16] The use of the term Malay also spread outside Sumatra, following the territory of the Sriwijaya empire which expanded to Java, Kalimantan and the Malay Peninsula. Based on the Laguna Copper Coin inscription, Malay traders traded throughout Southeast Asia, also bringing Malay cultural customs and language to the region. Malay eventually became the lingua franca replacing Sanskrit.[17] The glorious era of Srivijaya was a golden era 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 power of the Portuguese army in 1511. The arrival of Islam to the archipelago in the 12th century was well absorbed by the Malay community. Islamization does not only occur among ordinary people, but has become a feature of government in 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 had a king with a Malay title. The arrival of Europe has caused Malay people to spread throughout the archipelago, Sri Lanka and South Africa. Overseas, they have many positions in a kingdom, such as harbor masters, ulama and judges. In subsequent developments, almost all of the Indonesian archipelago received direct influence from the Malay tribe. Malay, which has developed and is used by many people in the archipelago, was finally chosen to become the national language in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.

[@kilanspeaks]

It’s weird because I think she is Minangkabau and therefore should be more familiar with Malay words like ‘pokok’ for tree. My guess is she might have lived in Bandung before and then somehow confused Malay with Sundanese, because ‘tangkal’ ᮒᮀᮊᮜ᮪ is ‘tree’ in Sundanese.

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.

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.

wow. it is so interesting to know most words from all of these 4 phrases, we also have in filipino. buruk siku (bad elbow) in filipino, we have "bulok" for bad/rotten and "siko" for elbow; but I would still would not get the connotation. bau kenchur (aromatic ginger) myra guessed it as -bad smell or something, I would have also guessed it as such. bau can be "baho" in tagalog which also means bad scent. tangkai jering - in filipino, tangkai also means branch (spelled as tangkay) salam tempel - in filipino, tempel/tampal could be "tapal"(something to stick or to cover up with); can also be "tampal" (to smack with hand). tapal can also have the same connotation of bribing someone with money to prevent them from whistleblowing. very very interesting

they should added Tagalog speakers among them.. it would be interesting conversation..

[@wannaim6958]

Tagalog and Bahasa (Melayu & Indonesia) are not mutually intelligible.

[@juicytoes77]

Too far that they wont understand eachother. But malay and indonesian? Yes its possible

[@MarioRamirez-th3vr]

I guess that both languajes are so similar like the Spanish and Portuguese, for example.

[@__Amira__]

similar comparison: American English (Indonesian) and British English (Malaysian)

[@JosephOccenoBFH]

A perfect analogy would be comparing Venezuelan Spanish to Peruvian Spanish. It's basically the same.

[@boboboy8189]

Because spanish?

[@norzainimohd-zain1325]

Yes, because both are using the Malay language.

[@rikiyaaragaki]

it's can be yes but also not, they can understand because they speak a simple things, the grammar itself is a bit different and for technology and a complex words they are also different. take a look at the language in your phone and change it to bahasa indonesia and melayu for a while, you can see the difference afterwards, the woman that represent indonesia come from the island of sumatera, pretty much they use a lot of word and they do pronunciations like the malay does, that's why she's understand it well, yeah i also understand it but i need a few second to understand it because they sound like a broken indonesians to me

¿Entonces cuál sería el porcentaje de similitud léxica entre el malayo y bahasa indonesio?

[@fabianicoles]

90% i think

[@ivanovichdelfin8797]

[@hafiz8184]

[@newbabies923]

If we speak formally, it's 90% , but if we speak nor formal it would be 80%

[@AdakahAcara-x3c]
