	Republic of Indonesia - MSN Encarta
		The British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace drew attention in the mid-19th century to the great contrasts between the Sunda and Sahul, illustrating his case with the differences between the ecologies of the islands of Bali and Lombok.
		As a result, the border between the Sunda and Sahul came to be known as Wallace’s Line.
		Although many causes contribute to the geological instability of the area, the main cause is the friction between the underlying tectonic plates (see Plate Tectonics).

	Malay language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Malay language, also known locally as Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia, is an Austronesian language spoken by the Malay 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.
		The official standard for Malay, as agreed upon by Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, is the form spoken in the Riau Islands just south of Singapore, long considered the birthplace of the Malay language.
		The language spoken by the Peranakan (Straits Chinese, a hybrid of Chinese settlers from the Ming Dynasty and local Malays) is a unique patois of Malay and the Chinese dialect of Hokkien, which is mostly spoken in the former Straits Settlements of Penang and Malacca.

	Differences between Malay and Indonesian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hence the word for 'grandchild' used to be written as chuchu in Malay and tjoetjoe in Bahasa Indonesia, until a unified spelling system was introduced in 1972 (known in Indonesia as Ejaan Yang Disempurnakan or the 'Perfected Spelling') which removed most differences between the two varieties: Malay ch and Indonesian tj became c: hence cucu.
		Indonesian abandoned the spelling dj (for the consonant at the beginning of the word 'Jakarta') to conform to the j already in use in Malay, while the old Indonesian j for the semivowel at the beginning of the English 'young', was replaced with y as in Malay.
		Pronunciation also tends to be very different, with East Malaysia and Indonesia speaking a dialect called Bahasa Baku, where the words are pronounced as spelt and enunciation tends to be clipped, staccato and faster than the Malay spoken in the Malay Peninsula, which is spoken at a more languorous pace.

	Simplified Spelling Society : Malay Spelling Reform.
		She has published several books on the linguistics of Malay and related languages, and her role in the spelling reform was that of Deputy Chairman of the Permanent Committee for Bahasa Malaysia since its establishment in 1972.
		In Sumatra (Indonesia), Malay as the language of administration was replaced by Dutch, whereas in Peninsula Malaysia, Singapore and Borneo, it was superseded by English.
		There are three types of reduplication in Malay: the reduplication of the first syllable of the root, the reduplication of the stem of a complex word, and the reduplication of the whole word, be it a simple or complex word.

	yax-455 Who is Malay?
		Indonesian scholars place more emphasis on these rival texts than Malaysians, but it is hard to say the contest is still going on the same way as before.
		The result of this attitude is that the Indonesians feel little need to synchronise their language with Malaysia and Brunei, whereas the Malaysians are keener to coordinate the evolution of the language with the Indonesians.
		From the Indonesian side, it is probably a 'no' or a 'who cares?' While Malaysia needs the Indonesians to buttress their sense of Malay, the Indonesians are quite comfortable being Indonesian at one level, and Javanese, Dayak, Balinese, Acehnese, etc, at another level.

	Talk:Indonesian - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		If the people writing the Malay one want to copy and paste this one with minor alterations then they can feel free, but they shouldn't be merged.
		I like the idea, though, of having notes on where Malay differs, in the text or in a section at the end of the page; also of this book copying and modifying pages to and from Malay, where appropriate.
		Perhaps there could be a template used temporarily at the top of a Malay page, saying something like "This page has been copied from the Indonesian Wikibook, and may need further changes to reflect Malay usage." Or the reverse if copied from the Malay to the Indonesian Wikibook.

		Malay is spoken principally in Malaysia and, to a lesser extent, in neighboring Thailand and Singapore.
		Malay is a member of the MaIay-Polynesian family of languages Beginning in the 14th century, with the conversion of many Malays to Islam, a variation of the Arabic script known as Jawi was used for writing.
		It differs slightly from the one used in Indonesia, which was developed by the Dutch, but the resulting variations in spelling are in fact the only difference between the two languages.

	Baba Malay Language
		Baba Malay spoken in Penang is also held to be different from the variety spoken in Malacca and elsewhere because of the greater influence of Hokkien and English.
		It is possible that the sources of data between Ann Pakir's analysis and that of Victor Purcell, or Rev. Shellabear's, are different, reflecting substantial areal variations in the pattern of the 'patois' as different speakers range along different parts of the continuum.
		Racial, ethnic, and class differences are all reflected in linguistic differences, and linguistic difference is an important indicator of an individual's social status, orientation toward the larger social world, background, and ability to successfully interact in the world.

	Malay Manuscript Pages: concordances
		A further argumment for lemmatization of Malay is that the presence of affixation is a sociolinguistic variable marking register (Benjamin 1988).
		Classical Malay syair verses mostly observe the sense division of the couplet; so for verse, a single couplet, or pair of verses for words at verse-end, is an aptly defined context.
		Classical Malay prose is almost wholly unpunctuated, and there is yet little understanding of how its natural sense units are delimited or interrelated (Sweeney 1987:236-237).Ý The punctuation introduced into transliterated texts by the editors is largely intuitive.

	guw-100 The evolution of Indonesian and Malay
		Javanese can be called Malay in the older, as you noted, 19-century sense of the word - in the same manner Punjabis and Bengalis can be considered the same race even though there is significant differences in culture and language.
		More so, Malaysian Malay evolved significantly in comparison with Indonesian Malay due to its greater flexibility (imposed tatabahasa rules by Pusat Bahasa dan Terjemahan on Indonesian, for example, are considerably more rigid than in Malaysia by Dewan Bahasa dan Pusaka).
		In fact at that time, most Malays prefered being identified by their states like Negeri Sembilan and Johor and were more nationalistic towards it (the British failed spectacularly to get rid of state entities in the Malayan Union).

	- The House in Indonesia. Between Globalization and Localization
		Centrality and linearity principles express the difference between sacred and profane, associated respectively with the krobongan and the rest of the house, and with the central part of the pavilion and its peripheral parts.
		From these examples it is possible for us to conclude that Indonesian 'traditional' houses are very diversified and that it is difficult to determine constants, and for example claim that they are generally built of wood on posts with differences in floor levels, saddle-backed roofs, and decorated gable-ends and gable-finials.
		Notwithstanding the supposed cultural alienation resulting from flat construction, as Indonesians are accustomed to live in houses on the ground or on stilts and want to have a garden at their disposal for fruit trees and chicken, high-rise building has been continued on a larger scale.

		Indonesian law enables the Government to act virtually as it pleases with respect to the resource rights of the West Papuan tribal people.
		However, the long term policy of the Indonesian government is the universal use of Bahasa Indonesia, the national language of Indonesia.
		Throughout the period of Indonesian government rule, President Soeharto and his associates have exploited the resources of West Papua in the worst tradition of military-based, authoritarian governments, and have sought to keep the issue hidden from the outside world.

		Speaking of politeness systems in Indonesian languages, that of Javanese is particularly celebrated, with the ngoko, madya and krama registers almost forming seperate languages (at least in terms of vocabulary).
		Instead, the main division within the class of nominals appears to be between a subclass that encompasses impersonal nouns, placenames, and demonstrative and interrogative pronouns, on the one hand, and a subclass that includes personal proper names and pronouns, on the other.
		Wow I'm really surprised to see the pronouns used between Malays and Chinese in the colonial period, because as far as I know in Bahasa Indonesia today 'gua' and 'lu' are extremely casual/informal forms of address, and when misused are considered really rude.
