Malay is natively known as Bahasa Melayu and belongs to the Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Malay language family.
There are approximately 77 million native, 200+ million total worldwide.
Malay is the national language of Malaysia (as Bahasa Malaysia), Brunei, and is one of four official languages of Singapore.
Malay and Indonesian are closely related varieties of the same language, though they have diverged in vocabulary, spelling, and some grammatical usage since standardisation in different countries.
Historically, Malay was written in Jawi script (a modified Arabic script), which is still used in Malaysia and Brunei alongside the Latin-based Rumi script.
Malay served as the lingua franca of maritime Southeast Asia for centuries, facilitating trade across the Malay Archipelago long before European colonisation.
The language has absorbed extensive loanwords from Sanskrit, Arabic, Tamil, Portuguese, Dutch, and English, reflecting the region's rich trading history.
The Malaysian community in Australia numbers around 175,000 Malaysian-born residents, making it one of the larger Southeast Asian communities. Malaysians are concentrated in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide. Many arrived as international students and subsequently gained permanent residency. The community is ethnically diverse, including Malay, Chinese Malaysian, and Indian Malaysian populations with distinct language needs.

Beijing, China's massive capital, has history stretching back 3 millennia. Yet it's known as much for its modern architecture as its ancient sites such as the grand Forbidden City complex, the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Nearby, the massive Tiananmen Square pedestrian plaza is the site of Mao Zedong's mausoleum and the National Museum of China, displaying a vast collection of cultural relics.
