Buat orang2 indonesia yang liat video ini, daripada komen ribut sama malaysia, baca sejarah nya lagi tentang bahasa indonesia. Sebelum sumpah pemuda, disebut nya emang bahasa melayu kok. Akar bahasa indonesia dan malaysia sekarang itu bahasa melayu johor-riau yang jadi lingua franca di regional nusantara. Nah, setelah 1900an. Bahasa melayu di daerah jajahan hindia belanda (Indonesia sekarang) dan jajahan inggris (malaya, malaysia sekarang) mulai berpisah dari akar mereka bahasa melayu johor-riau. Setelah itu bahasa melayu di daerah jajahan belanda mulai di standarkan, dikenal dengan ejaan van ophuijsen. Sedangkan melayu di malaya distandarkan oleh inggris yang dikenal dengan ejaan wilkinson. Nah, melayu ejaan van ophujsen ini yang jadi akar bahasa indonesia sekarang dan ejaan wilkinson yang jadi akar bahasa melayu malaysia sekarang. Jadi buat kalian yang ngotot kalo bahasa indonesia bukan bahasa melayu. Enggak, bahasa indonesia tetep bagian dari bahasa melayu. Jadi jangan ribut2 lagi sama netizen malaysia ya guys :)

I am from Sarawak (Borneo a.k.a East Malaysia) and some of Philippine words are quite similar to the native languages of Sarawak. For example... "Child" is "anak" in Iban, Bidayuh and Malay language.

Very informative video. Orang asli (the aborigines) are the Malays ancestors, they're known as Proto Malays. The modern Malays now known as Deutero Malays. Same as the Borneon tribe as well.Taiwanese Aborigines,the Chams, the fijian, Maori, Chammoro in Madagaacar. Guam. Hawaian all the pacific islander we are in the same under one family known as Austronesia. In Ancient time, there was no country name as Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam etc, this whole South East Asia was known as Malay Archipelgo a.k.a Nusantara. The Malays are a great seafarer. There was a hundreds of Ancient Malay Hindu-Buddha Kingdom was in power in this Nusantara. That time the malays practiced animism, hinduism and buddism. Fu Nan, Champa, Kedah Tua, Langkasuka, Chih Tu, Kelantan Tua, the Great Sriwijaya, Sailendra, Tambralinga, Majapahit just name a few. This all great and rich kingdom make India and China Maharaja trade and do business with the Malay King Maharaja. Until Islam came in the 15th to Nusantara, Sultanate Malay to take over and of course another great and rich kingdom known as Melaka Sultanate Empire. This period the ancient Malay language with the Rencong writing from the old hindu buddha times had been modernize to the classical Malay language with the Jawi arabic writings and that time that language became the Lingua Franca of the South east asia. The malays at this period now are mostly muslim converted from their old religion hinduism/buddism. All traders from India, China arab persian, europe must learn and speak the malay language before do business with the Malay King and sultanate.. untill the Portuguese attacked Melaka, British invaded Malaysia/Siam, the Netherlands invaded Indonesia, same goes the philipines with spain, etc. until we Malaysian as it is now. Last but not least, not to forget the Malays in Bali still practising hinduism, Malays in philipines mostly christianity, the islander polynesian hawaian, fijian tahiti, aborigines still practicing animism. We are the missing brothers of Malayo Polynesia

Nice intro to the Malay language! I grew up in Malaysia and had thought the two languages were very similar. I moved to Indonesia in middle school and was shocked by how different they were. The day I arrived in Jakarta, I thought I'd get around fine given my background. But just from the airport to my house, there were already some misunderstandings: The driver took a wrong turn and I told him to 'pusing balik' (turn around in Malay). He looked confused for a moment, did a u-turn and then burst out laughing. He then explained that 'pusing' in Indonesian is mainly used for 'pusing kepala' (dizziness in both languages). There were many, many more of such interactions during my stay there. I would say almost half of the vocabulary, while similar, carry different meanings/nuances.

[@Langfocus]

Interesting. I think the two languages seem more similar to learners, because they focus on the more standard form of the languages and use fewer idioms and speak more literally than native speakers. I know the differences are much greater in casual and and “slang” speech. It’s probably a bit of twist of fate that made it like that. I think that if Indonesia called their language Bahasa Melayu rather than Bahasa Indonesia, there wouldn’t be nearly as much of a difference. The psychological effect of speaking a “different language” leads to more separation, less integration of media and publishing and entertainment industries, etc. If the USA decides to call their language “American” it would drift further from UK English as well.

[@azarohamaika]

@@Langfocus that's one interesting insight. But take into consideration as well that the Malays in Indonesia are, unlike in Malaysia, the minorities. This leads to stronger influences to modify the language. And just like how you eloquently described in the decision to call it "Bahasa Malaysia" in Malaysia, Indonesian serves as the lingua Franca for the speakers of hundreds of languages in Indonesia, thus the government (Language Board) made the conscious effort to make the language easier, more standardized (less exceptions than the Malaysian counterpart), and more neutral in a way. So it's a combination of a conscious choice and natural development.

Orang Minyak?? what?? Oilman?? 😂

[@aimami7736]

It have two meanings

[@rizkypratiwi2071]

Daie Alpha oh really? In Indonesia orang-orang means people, while scarecrow is called orang-orangan sawah (the "an" ending oftenly refers to a duplicate of something or more like a toy such as rumah-rumahan, mobil-mobilan)

[@fathuladnin6081]

It depends on how we use it. For instant, "Orang-orang disini semuanya kaya-raya = People who live in here all are riches. And "Petani menggunakan orang-orang untuk menakutkan burung di sawah padi" = Farmer uses scarecrow to scare the birds at rice field.

[@thankuslay6766]

In Indonesia ''scarecrow'' is orang-orangan sawah, lol

[@mfaizsyahmi]

You only touched a bit about the dialects, but it's actually very interesting to look at. It varies wildly between parts of the peninsula, and between the East Malaysian states. The northern states of Perlis, Kedah and Pulau Pinang spoke the Utara (northern) dialect (they might be subtle differences between them), Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Melaka, Sabah, Sarawak and Negeri Sembilan all have their own distinct dialects (the latter is related to Minang), and Selangor and Kuala Lumpur doesn't really have their own dialect as they adopt the KL-ite urban Malay slang (which you hear often on television). Also interesting fact: there are Malays in Cambodia and Vietnam! They speak the Cham dialect, and being furthest removed from the rest of the speakers they're quite unintelligible. Similar case for the other dialects, particularly of the eastern peninsular states for those unfamiliar with it or just learning Malay.

[@w4lr6s]

Cham dialects are not Malay; they are more closely related to Acehnese. It is a separate language.

[@mfaizsyahmi]

My bad then. They're still culturally related to the Malays though rather than the Viets, Thais and Laos on Indochina.

[@6753-o3j]

In the ancient times, Old Cham and Old Malay are probably the same language.

[@TheMichaelChow]

what's more horrifying for learners is that(in case of indonesian, what? it's still classified as a malay language), in a lot of rural areas the local dialects aren't really that hard to learn since they don't differ extremely from the standardized part(more like there's a different language spoken there altogether that's the hard part). But when they come to the big cities..... what's with all the slangs and different pronunciations and sometimes additional grammar? boy, do they make some foreigners gave up(i got a friend who stopped trying to understand what the fuck the illegal parking attendants(lower economic class people) were actually saying because they added nasal voices to their pronunciations)

[@TheMichaelChow]

oh, i'm from Jakarta, by the way, so the nasal voices applies to Jakarta only as far as i know

[@attanakmar334]

According to my teachers from the Malaysian Language And Heritage Chamber (DBP), all Malay nouns are plural unless otherwise indicated. So "fish are expensive today " is "ikan mahal hari ini". To indicate a noun is singular, one has to add a numerator (satu, dua, ...) or a numerical descriptor (penjodoh bilangan) such as "sebuah rumah" (a house), "seutas tali" (a string), "sebiji epal" (an apple) and so on. Duplicating a noun may make it into something else. "Orang " is people but "orang-orang" is a scarecrow. "Awan" is cloud but "awan-awan" is a ceiling. "Otak" is brain but "otak-otak" is a fish-based Malay dish.

[@Kascaded]

wow I never realise how our prefix and suffix would be overwhelming if you’re a learner, it just feels second nature for native speakers like myself

[@aizad330]

We learn it at school since kid

[@iqbalmuhammad2920]

If you really try to recall, prefix and suffix learning in primary school was quite tough, even for us native speakers. The only thing that makes it easier is because we speak it everyday.

Dude, as A Malay, I'm proud of what u doing here..almost precise bro! Keep it up..

[@ReefearEapear]

There have wrong about "orang-orang" to refer "many people". Orang-orang is a scarecrow which often seeing in paddy field to scare the birds, rats and other insects what want to eat the paddy. The correct word is "ramai orang" to refer to "many peoples". The other word is "orang ramai" also to refer "peoples". We also can call it "banyak orang". Banyak = many. Ramai = many (but only refer to human). Banyak orang or ramai orang are same meaning. But orang-orang is not the correct word to "pluralized" the word.

[@NanceeMarin]

Indonesians say both "orang-orang" and "banyak orang." We say "orang-orangan" for "orang-orang" (scarecrow).

[@ReefearEapear]

Nancee Marin Kinda interesting. Haha.

[@ReefearEapear]

Nancee Marin But, to refer to these video, I prefer it must be corrected as the subject of the video is "Bahasa Melayu". Means, in Malay, orang-orang is refer to scarecrow. Thats it.

You make it seem as logical and easy as Esperanto. Is that really true or are there some things that are a bit more tricky in the language?

[@Langfocus]

+NewName The affixes aren't as systematic as Esperanto. Pretty much everything else is, I think.

[@adamkilam]

and dont forget "la" at the end of every sentence

[@SerGio-mw9pc]

It is logical and systematic! At least its formal-polite form.. The casual, especially in Bahasa Indonesia is much more challenging.. The affixes would be the only tricky things in Bahasa Indonesia/Malay.. The rest is relatively easier than most languages in the world..

Sepertinya kalau bicara bahasa Indonesia baku bisa dimengerti oleh orang melayu baik dari malaysia atau brunei. Ada teman yang berbicara bahsa melayu yang bisa memastikan ini?

[@klabumalami6699]

Ryan Wilde iya benar tu..saya dari malaysia dan saya bisa mengerti apa yang anda bicarakan 🙂

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

Saya dari Malaysia. Saya pun setuju. Bahasa Indonesia baku lebih mudah difahami oleh kami di Malaysia dan Brunei. Perbicaraan menjadi rumit kalau kita menggunakan dialek masing2, di antara negara mahupun dalam negara sendiri. Saya dari negeri Sarawak dan kebanyakkan negeri dalam Malaysia tidak memahami dialek saya. Salam dari Malaysia. :D

I am a native Malay speaker and even I'm bad at my own language. And me being a fluent English speaker, my classmates always ask me for translations and I sometimes can't find the right word, even though I know what the word meant. Anyone feel me?

[@Bloxwie]

for colloquial malay, the affixation is almost barely used, like for example to say 'the teacher is teaching his students" standard malay: 'cikgu itu *mengajar* anak-anak murid' colloquial malay. 'cikgu itu *ajar* anak-anak murid"

[@infj5196]

Usually we say "cikgu tenga ajar anak murid"

[@CarlH08]

im actually surprised that there are lots of Malay language very similar to Tagalog and other dialects in the Philippines.:)

[@najibyusoffchannel1417]

Be Tagalog falls under the same family of language known as"Malayo -Polynesia"

[@YuKaN458]

yea, for me both sounds like the same. when there is Philippines drama on tv, i might think its a malay drama.

[@sAmfRancIs94]

Amazing video! Quite accurate for the most part. However, there is one small thing that I wish to point: "orang-orang" in Malay actually means "scarecrow". In some cases, reduplication of the root word can change the meaning, like "otak" (brain) to "otak-otak" (fish cake, not brains). But generally, your point on reduplication for plural forms is quite accurate.
