Malay is a member of the Austronesian family of languages which includes languages from Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by the people who reside in the Malay Peninsula, southern Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, central eastern Sumatra, the Riau islands and parts of the coast of Borneo.
Malay is an official language of Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, and East Timor. Indonesia announced Malay as its official language when it gained independence, calling it Bahasa Indonesia. While Bahasa Melayu is the national language in Malaysia by Article 152 of the Constitution of Malaysia, and became the sole official language in West Malaysia in 1968, and in East Malaysia gradually from 1974.
Malay is normally written using Latin alphabet called Rumi, although a modified Arabic script called Jawi also exists. Rumi is official in Malaysia and Singapore, and Indonesian has a different official orthography also using the Latin script. Rumi and Jawi are co-official in Brunei.
