Malay language is the world’s 4th most widely spoken language
Today, about 300 million people in the world speak in Malay.
There are 4 nations where Malay Language or Bahasa Melayu is the national language. The countries are: Malaysia – (Bahasa Malaysia / Melayu), Indonesia – (Bahasa Indonesia), Brunei Darussalam & Singapore – (Bahasa Melayu) – the home of about 275 million people.

Malay is Easy!
We can prove it. Here are some amazing facts:
- Words do not have genders
- Verbs are not conjugated to change tenses
- To indicate tenses, just add a key word. There are only 3 tenses : past, present and future ( past perfect, present continuous tense – throw them out of the window!)
- Nouns do not need to be pluralised if there are indicators (like quantity)
- Nouns are pluralised merely by repeating the same word
- Off springs of animals are only denoted by the word ‘anak’ (Kittens for cats? Puppies for dogs? Forget it!)
