I was born and raised in southern Thailand, Sungai Golok, near the Malaysian border, Kelantan. In the past, it was the same country, but now it's seperated. I went to Thai school until the university, but at home we speak Kelantanese and I know how to speak the standard Malay since we live close to Kelantan, Malaysia and also have relatives live there. However, the Melayu ethnics in Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala (Southern Thailand) speaks their own Melayu dialects which are now the mixtures of bahasa Melayu, Thai, Indonesia and some other loan words. At the present time, I've been working in Malaysia university as a Mandarin lecturer for almost 7 years. ;-)
Good essay
Alhamdullah...mek ak pon asal n born di narathiwat..merantaw juga mcm kmu..now we leave kedah
@@qiey2112 selatan Thai memang negeri melayu. Kalau kamu nak tahu, sempadan asal semenanjung tanah melayu terletak di segenting kra. Kat sana ada batu terukir sempadan tanah melayu di buat tahun 1800++.
Kalau kamu belajar sejarah, selatan Myanmar pun tanah melayu juga. Kat sana ramai orang melayu bercakap loghat kedah.
Nama asal di selatan Thai
Songkla = Singgora
Narathiwat = menora
Yala = Jala
Chaiya = cahaya
Trang = Ban Terang (ban bermaksud tanah bonggol yang di buat sempadan sawah)
Phuket = Bukit tapi nama sebenar ialah Tanjung salang dalam rekod kedah
Satun = Setul / setui (sejenis pokok)
Pattani = pantai ini
Nakhon Sri tammarat = ligor / legor

No gender, no cases, no verb conjugation, intuitive prepositions, well-structured affixes...
People who struggle to learn any European language with hundreds of irregular verbs and 10+ verb tenses: 'IS THIS THE REAL LIFE? IS THIS JUST FANTASY?'
Sustem of roots, prefixes, and affixes: allow me to introduce myself
@@thewiseofearth Still, that’s the only hard part of Malay & Indonesian
@@seid3366 and it's not that complicated also. If it's an active verb just add me-, mem-, meng- (i.e. verb "baca", membacakan) and if it's passive verb just add di-, ber- (dibaca, dibacakan). Bahasa melayu and bahasa indonesia are literally two of the easiest languange to learn.
@@Sir3gar But again, the only hard thing is remembering which affixes go to which verb
@@seid3366 yes but usually in some cases the prefix can be ignored like we can say "saya masak nasi" "saya baca buku" no problem

He's a LINGUIST! But still yeah 👍
Tried to learn German for years.. no progress. Probably have to do with me being 36. But been laughing all my way following this videos description of malay. Such a good language..👏👏👏👏👏
1. Same alfabet as English
2. Simple pronunciation
3. Grammar rules
Right? After learning some languages. Seriously, as much as i dont want to be bias, but it is fact that malay language is so easy especially if you are familiar with english. You can direct translate almost anything from english. Not to mention the others mentioned by the video such as no word genders, no conjugation, no tenses.
The only bad thing is for Malaysian to learn other languages. It is really hard as all those rules are weird to me...
Malay is a straight forward language. Even foreign workers from Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam, Pakistan can speak Malay within a week😂😂😂
@@sentival That's why it'd be prefect to be a Lingua Franca, don't you agree?
@@coresekel7153 absolutely
I'm teaching some malay language in my channel in japanese, and this video helps me alot on explaning malay's grammar and stuff. thanx ;)
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 :)
You earned my respect bro!

I am always impressed when i see languages that are so simple grammatically compared to English.
I know right, and that' what I don't get about language, why make something that is so hard to learn, just be simple and make things easier, after all languages evolve and it is human instinct to try and make it simpler so I don't get why they use these horrendous rules and writings still. After all Hangul made writing Korean much easier from the Chinese characters, so why not change some of the complexity.
But english is very very simple .
Yeah, it doesn't even have grammatical gender so I would say (as a native spanish speaker) that it is actually quite simple. Btw don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming that it is inferior or anything.
Yeah it's simple but writing it isn't XD But that's just a product of using an outdated spelling system :P
At least English doesn't have those horrible gender nouns XD And no Spain! Stop assuming my 'Calculadora' is Female XD
But you could get rid of this 'He-She' construct. In the Austonesian languages, we don't have those either :P
Funny thing is, English's grammar is incredibly simple.
I'm a Bruneian and we don't pronounce Brunei, "Brunei". We pronounce it "Broon-EYE".
right, idk why people said brunei
Dua2 pun boleh
In Indonesian word is brunai not brunei

We should thank him for doing some research for us Malays (no matter which country). Thank you so much 😊
I'm a simple man. I see a new langfocus video i press like.
If I could like more than once …
Yeah, Malay is a really easy language to learn. Its no wonder it became the lingua franca of the south East Asian archipelago.
There are also Malay people in southern Myanmar that speaks with similar dialect with Northern Malaysia dialects. Also, there are Melayu Champa in Cambodia and Vietnam as well. Some of them even migrated to Malaysia
Yes ...still hve
Mindanao, Jolo/Sulu and Palawan still Malay. Southern Thai Pattani, Yala, Saturn and Narathiwat also practicing Malay. But because different countries.. our brothers...
@@idontcareaboutnothing2297 Muslims in the Philippines are not Malay, they are Moro people. Moro is an umbrella term for all Muslim ethnicities in the country, there are 13 ethnicities, none of them is Malay. Only some Moro in Tawi2 province can speak & understand Sabah Malay, no malay language in other provinces, only some people in one single province understand malay, even for those who can speak it, it's not their home language.
In Sabah there are ethnic Suluk & Bajau, both are parts of Moro people, came to Sabah from Mindanao, many have been granted Malaysian citizenship. They are classified separately from Malay by the state government because they have different languages and cultures, Suluk & Bajau languages are related to Malay, but not parts of Malay branch itself.
I guess you're Malay from Malaya, because many Malay Malayans tend to wrongly assume everyone who adhere to Islam with indigenous face is Malay. You guys don't understand what ethnicity is, it's all about race to you over there. But your assumption about Southern Thailand is correct, they speak either Kedah or Pattani Malay across the border, they are indeed ethnically Malay.
Tanah Sari

All the Malay Muslim states have that kind of name. For example the states in Malaysia : Selangor Darul Ehsan, Terengganu Darul Iman, Johor Darul Takzim...
Kedah darul aman
Kelantan darul naim
@@sambaltempe5970 nice
All Malay states who ruled by a Sultan have Darul++. Example my state Johor is Darul Takzim.
You totally did NOT butcher 'Brunei'! We Bruneians pronounce it as 'Broon-EYE', too! Aside from that, amazingly informative video!
Yeah, some weirdos corrected me on something that wasn't wrong! lol. I guess they were trolling.
Langfocus either that, or they've never met or talked to a Bruneian before! Regardless, you did a good job!
lol,was just about to say ive never heard any bruneian's call it brooney, and i was working there for 5 years
Langfocus those that "corrected" you are most likely Sarawakians.
@@Ayy_Doll_Fiddler Nope, we Sarawakians pronounce it "broon-eye" as well.
Hahaha i like how foreigners are so formal when speaking malay yet we native malay speakers speak broken malay😂😂😂
10 OG and then they learned the slangs. All hell breaks loose 😂
I'd say same for most languages. People in the US rarely speak exactly like we were taught in school. Except in texts and newscasts. If you speak and pronounce words the "correct" way it sounds awkward.
lol true
Dead Af ikr
How do you think the people in the street in England speaks?
the hardest thing about malay for me is how there are SO MANY words for one verb eg:
'CARRY' in english.
MEMBAWA - carry/bring. MENGANDAR - carry on a stick. MENJINJING/MEMJINJIT/MEMBIMBIT - carry in a bag/bucket. MENJUNJUNG - carry on the head. MENGALAS - carry on your back.... etc etc
thats interesting
yea hahaha
even without affixes, one english word can be translated in many malay terms because it is heavily dependent on how the word is used
Dia sedang membawa beg = he/she is carrying the bag
Dia sedang mengalas beg = he/she is carrying the bag behind his/her back
Dia sedang menjinjing beg = he/she is carrying the bag (carrying something with your hand in lowered position)
Dia sedang menjunjung beg = he/she carrying the bag on his/her head
'sandar' is a bit different when it comes to affixes.
and this 'bawa' word can be changed to something else like what kaiser said
***** are you sure? xD I though indonesian is a lot like malay im sure u guys have this many words for carry too.
GALAS in lithuanian means the back or the end
Kaiser I agree
As a brazilian I felt very comfortable with the pronounce of the phrases, because at first I realized a similarity of malay with brazilian portuguese: Everything is spoken just like is written and with sounds being pronounced open and clear way. And also I realized that many words are pronounced in the same way that we would pronounce in brazilian portuguese differencing only the accent.
yup, that's because Malay is a phonetic language
There are also a few hundred Portuguese words in Bahasa Melayu.. So if you decide to learn it, you'll have a head start 😁
Portuguese had a huge influence even on the Malay language, even some of the things are called similarly in Malay
Sekolah - Skola
Mentega - Menteiga
Tuala - toalha
Garfu - garfo
Meja - mesa
Kereta - Carreta
Limau - limão
And how you pronounce it in your language is almost identical to how we pronounce it in Malay
Thank you very much for making this video, Paul! It seems like a really simple and interesting language. _Bahasa Malayu_...intriguing!

I have friends from Brunei who tell me that it is pronounced as Brunei, as in Brunai. Those commenters must either be trolling or there might be some variant to saying it back in Brunei.

Not all Malaysia, in Sarawak we pronounce it as BRUN-EI. I think Brun-eye is as formal pronunciation, Brun-eiy as informal pronunciation or for those community living close to Sarawak borders. Sarawakian Malay tend to pronounce -AI as -EIY for example PANT-AI pronounce as PANT-EIY, SUNG-AI as SUNG-EIY.

Awesome video! I am planning on being in Singapore and Malaysia in January 2018, and was curious as to the difficulty of learning Bahasa Melayu. Not only does it sound fairly straightforward compared to other languages I've studied, it sounds like it's pretty standard for everyone in the region.
Well, I've got a year to figure it out. Wish me luck!
but if u come to singapre, theres not many native speakers here. Sadly the natives speaker are speaking in english too, but in something called 'singlish'. Pretty sure if u go malaysia, malay language is beneficial for u to learn and practice
All the best ! Selamat maju jaya!
Sofea Yusoff today Singapore prefer english languages. Even the so called chinese, indian become mat salleh celup. Melayu mungkin 50% dah jadi mat salleh celup
Actually there are Malay words borrowed from English language. Such as plastik(plastic), basikal(bicycle),kaunter (counter),buku(book), kartun(cartoon), nasional(national) and many more
Malayan is beautiful in its logic, it is at a level with Esperanto
Fernando Franco Félix I may be sound stupid. but what is Esperanto?
A constructed language made to be the universal language, and for that reason it is made to be very logic and easy to learn
Fernando Franco Félix esperanto is invented by an european (a polish?) so it only unites western and eastern europe and it's not universal enough from asian perspectives
Fernando Franco Félix despacito..😝
@@falnica Easy? Esperanto nouns vary by case and number:
Rover estas hundo. Rover is a dog,
Rover kaj Fido estas hundoj. Rover and Fido are dogs.
Mi vidas hundon. I see a dog.
Mi vidas hundojn: I see dogs.
It also has quite the collection of prefixes and suffixes.
The same sentences in what Google Translate calls Malay
Rover adalah seekor anjing.
Rover dan Fido adalah anjing.
Saya melihat seekor anjing
Saya melihat anjing.
It looks like a tie, so BM has to get the prize because it has actually been used by millions of people as their native language.
I’m screaming because everything that made French a nightmare for me In school... this language just kicks to the curb. Omg.
Simple and awesome
'Brunei' is indeed pronounced as 'Brunai'. "-ei" is the old or non-standard spelling. Another example would be 'sungei' for 'river' but pronounced as 'sungai' (which is also the current spelling).
In Sarawak's Malay dialect, we actually say Bru-nay and Soo-ngay.
im malaysian and i always pronounce it brunai (brunei)
Most of the Malay Malaysians who speaks Malay still pronounce Brunei as "Brunai".
Sarawakian Malaysian is not considered as pure Malay Language as Sarawak consist of hundreds of languages kreole etc. So they are not as consistents as Malay language in Peninsular Malaysia.

You'd like Mandarin haha. It is similar in that regard. I'm learning it right now :)
Azren the Language Nerd
I feel like tone would be the death of me.
Floobs believe it or not, tones are not as daunting as they appear at first. I'd say that after about 10-20 hours of conversation practice & coaching on tones, you can have a solid grasp on pronouncing & hearing tones (for most people anyway).
in the malay archipelago. I'm a Malaysian, i can teach you some basics.
+Azren the Language Nerd yes, Chinese mandarin language is easy but writing is worst, so all together, Chinese language is worst, most complicated to learn cuz too many characters or signs to memorize instead just less than 50 signs or letters instead over 400000 signs to remember able to read history, civilization, economy, politics, culture, humanity, religion, news etc... yes we can get by just 40000 charactors but barely enough words to talk about shopping, food, places to go n things to do daily, so no wonder with largest smart population inside n outside China but China n Chinese have done few things to impact nor influence to world stage.

With all these "no grammar" for Malay, I still got a B for Malay and an A for English.
Edit (After 4 years): I got an A+ for both BM and BI in my SPM and that was more than 6 years ago. And I scored a 7 in my Malay HL in IB while the rest of my subjects I got a 6 including English. 7 was the highest grade you can get. I'm 24 now.
Can you differentiate these words' uses and functions:
Ialah - Adalah
Boleh - Dapat
Dari - Daripada
Ke - Kepada
Dalam - Di dalam
If you can, then great, you have just mastered one of the most hardest grammar of Malay, besides the accusative verbs with 's' at the end.
Ps: No grammar? Colloquially, yeah, maybe. Formally, it's worse than English, in term of affixes and prepositions that is.
Muuhfi boy, i got a big fat C
Same i got 82% in malay but 91% in english
yeaahh english-man wanna be... idioottttt. thays is way malaysian has no dignity n nationality...coz lots of you around
Alera Armando dude, fix your grammar please. Or dont comment at all.
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
adnyish My mom is mixed asli and Chinese and dad is Chinese lol
adnyish true
Champa, Sailendra, and Majapahit aren't Malays
Filipino here. MARAMING SALAMAT SA PAGGAWA NITO! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS! I'm currently learning Spanish so I'm learning more and more about Tagalog, but I think the Malay cognates form the missing link
I remember in school the affixes and suffixes were the most important things to remember. Once you get a hold of their general functions you can build any words using any verbs or adjectives.
Fun fact: In formal Bahasa Malaysia taught in schools, "orang-orang" is typically used refer to scarecrows. I can't think of another word at the moment where reduplication can be used to also change the meaning of the word.
This video was an awesome watch!
P.S: I pronounce Brunei the same English way too and I'm from Malaysia.

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
We learn it at school since kid
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.
Malay language is actually really interesting and fun, especially their informal language!
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.
Cham dialects are not Malay; they are more closely related to Acehnese. It is a separate language.
My bad then. They're still culturally related to the Malays though rather than the Viets, Thais and Laos on Indochina.
In the ancient times, Old Cham and Old Malay are probably the same language.
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)
oh, i'm from Jakarta, by the way, so the nasal voices applies to Jakarta only as far as i know
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.
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.
@@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.
@@azarohamaika you are right. Bahasa indonesia nowadays much more influenced especially by javanese and sundanese since, java island is the center of government, education, media, etc. So, yeah.. it's what it is..
Try "budak" for a terrible false friend. My father used it in a lecture in Jakarta to refer to children, but in Indonesian, it means slaves! They didn't believe him when he explained that it meant children in Malay.
@@michaelladerman2564 budak also means children in KBBI

no lah.. tagalog always pairing with spanish language hahaaha
it should be noted that indonesian and malay were colonised by different countries at different times and there's a massive amount of loan words which sometimes do not match up. Both have Portuguese loan words, but Malay has more English and Indonesian has many words borrowed from dutch.
+Phlegm Atic I intentionally left some of that out so I can talk about it in my Indonesian video.
OK, look forward to watching it.
they both adopt Latin alphabet now, the malay original written language has now become obsolete. there are a lot of differences between indonesia and malaysia, but it seems the malay roots in malaysia is more closer to the original while indonesia has changed a lot in evolution of the language with more recently adopt also a lot of english loan word.
melaka was conquered by the Portuguese, then to Dutch, after that to British. You would found fews words from Portuguese and Dutch, though it's mostly from portuguese since the time periods are longer.
Jawi was still taught as an elective for the ethnic malays when I was in school a decade ago. They still need to understand Jawi in order to read the Quran afaik.

I'm Filipino (ethnic Bisaya), but I've been learning Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia. They are like a simplified version of Philippine languages. The Austronesian alignment is minimal, which is a relief since Philippine languages display an almost mind numbing number of variation in the use of active and antipassive constructions. I tried formally teaching myself Tagalog and even as a Bisaya speaker I was sometimes confused.

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.

I guess before the Spaniards colonized the Philippines, we were talking a lot in Malay language. But I guess we branched out after that. But we have lots of similar words:
Tenghari - Tanghali (afternoon)
Mahal - Mahal (expensive)
Kucing - Kuting (cat)
Mengharap - Mangarap (hope, aspire)
Quay Evano hes brother...those scumbag colonialist has broken our relationship for a long long time ago
chiran jeevi You are so correct brother. I wonder sometimes what would have happened if we did not get colonized. We've lost a lot of Malay words.
Surely, we are unity as 'nusantara bloodlines'...we share almost same in culture, races, and language...a nusantara are so widespread from funan, champa(southern vietnam,cambodia)..to peninsular of southern thai(thailand)...a thaninthari, mergui or tenasserim-malay word is tanah sari(myanmar)...and of course peninsular of malaysia, singapura, brunei, indonesia and filipna...even your capital city 'Manila' are from Arabic word 'fi amanillah' means lands with blessings from God...just imagine in few hundred years..we are living in tears, bloodshed..😢😢...I hope one day we will reunite again
chiran jeevi Manila actually comes from the phrase "May nilad" meaning "There's a nilad (water lily)." But fi amanillah sounds interesting.

It's not that hard. There are words that sound similar or have similar meaning in these two languages, and that advantages give you a great head-start compared to the other students of Malay (or Indonesian) language.
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.
"Chicken" is "manok" in Iban and Malay language.
"You" is "ikau" in Malanau langauge.
"Short" is "pandak" in Iban langauge (not sure is it correct or not)

The easiest language to learn in Malaysia. As I'm a Malaysian Chinese can easily handle this language without difficulty.
Chin Lai Jun I learn Malay,english and Chinese,some Indonesian.
Spelling maybe but if one doesn't use it frequently it's still not easy, even though I'm quite competent in the language, at times I can't help throwing in English words especially when I couldn't think of a proper Malay word to describe something.
The grammar can be confusing at times but the fun fact is when we speak we hardly care about the grammar. 😂😁
as long as anyone can understand it acceptable, i and most people don't really mind about broken malay. it not like it their native language at least they put an effort to speak in our country national language we should appreciate that.
asymir ahmad saferi understanding broken malay and claiming malay to be the easiest language yet not being able to speak properly are two different issues. Which one give more effort, the local citizen that had lived here for generations but still not able to speak national language properly, or the foreign workers such as Bangladeshis who just arrived in less than 6 months but can speak proper BM? Saying that they speak broken BM because it is not their native language is a lame excuse as BM is also not the native language of the Bangladeshis, but yet they still able to give more effort to speak it properly.
Most Malaysian speaks broken Bahasa Melayu. They not take their national language seriously like Indonesian.

1. *Indonesia* (renamed to bahasa indonesia with a lil bit changes in suffix and etc.)
2. *Malaysia* (Once renamed to bahasa malaysia and then bahasa melayu again.) Borneo - malay with their own accent, have multiracial language.)
3. *Singapore*
4. *Brunei* (and they have their own language too.)
Alongside standard Malay we have several dialects which are like standard Malay but the words have been altered quite a bit.
Water - Air - Aying
Light - Lampu - Lampung
There are also words which don't sound like their standard couterpart at all

No - Tidak - Inda

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

Malay has a lot of Sanskrit and Arabic/Persian influence due to Religion and Trade.
you mean like Bumi,Syurga,Neraka,Pahala,Duka,Dosa,Putra,Sengsara?...
Sanskrit, Arab and Persian significantly influenced the Malay language. Brought by the Srivijaya kingdom and when Arab was introduced. Persian was brought by some of the Arabs too as Arabic and Persian was close and spoken by many Arabs. Then came the Dutch which influenced food. And finally the British which influenced more words into the Malay language. Here are some languages loanwords in Malay come from.

You can try listening to malay poetries (in Malay it's called puisi and part of them are 'sajak' and 'pantun') they could interest you😊
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.
Indonesians say both "orang-orang" and "banyak orang." We say "orang-orangan" for "orang-orang" (scarecrow).
Nancee Marin Kinda interesting. Haha.
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.

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.

Wow it's actually amazing to hear a slightly intelligible language XD I speak Filipino (Mostly Tagalog with a handful of Ilocano mixed in) and I can hear the cognates very well :D
The Malayu 'ajar' which is 'to teach' is close to the tagalog 'aral' which means 'to learn'.
The word 'drink' in tagalog is 'inum' which is close to the malayu 'minum'.
The word 'eat' in tagalog is 'Kain' but in ilocano, it's 'mangan' which is similar to malayu 'makan'. And I can see why 'milk' in malayu is 'susu' since in Ilocano, that word means nipples XD
Main difference is that Philippine languages tend to be VSO in structure while Malayu is SVO but that isn't really a problem for me since English is also SVO :D
I think there's probably more similarities with Bahasa Indonesia but I might be wrong :/
We also have the modifying nouns 'itu' which is pronouced 'ito' in Filipino and it also means 'that'. Oh and 'mahal' also means 'expensive' and it can also mean 'I love' in Filipino.
Difference is that we don't use 'buku' :/ we use 'libro' due to spanish influence instead of British :D
in indonesia susu means milk but can also translated as breast
we are from the same roots, which is why we have a lot of similarities ! :D
"ito" is "this"
and "mahal" is a root word :)
Mahal na libro ito=This is an expensive book.
here are some Indo/malay words that I can think of that are similar to Tagalog : 'anak' = child, 'sakit' = hurt, 'tolak' as in tagalog 'tulak' (in Indo 'tolak' means 'to deny') 'aku/kau' as in tagalog 'ako/ikaw', 'lelaki' = man, 'buka' = to open, 'hitam' = black, 'putih' = white
