Malay

Our professional linguists include native Malay speakers who are experienced in the nuances of the language and the requirements of effective translation and interpreting.

Malay Language

Malay belongs to the Western, or Indonesian, branch of the Austronesian language family. It is the native language of more than 33 million people residing in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, and several nearby smaller islands.

Malay is also a widely used second language in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Malay has many dialects, but the dialect of the southern Malay Peninsula is arguably the most important. This dialect is the basis of both standard Malay and the official language of the Republic of Indonesia, known as Bahasa Indonesia.
