BAHASA MELAYU

"Bahasa Melayu is the Malay language, an Austronesian language spoken widely in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and parts of Indonesia and southern Thailand. It serves as the national language of Malaysia (officially called Bahasa Malaysia) and Brunei, and one of the official languages of Singapore."

It is known for its simple grammar structure, absence of verb conjugations, and phonetic spelling, making it relatively easy to learn. Historically, Bahasa Melayu has been a key regional lingua franca in Southeast Asia for trade, culture, and diplomacy.
