This is a travel sized and easy-to-use Malay phrasebook,
dictionary, and beginning Malay language book
"Bahasa Malaysia" (literally "the Malaysian langauge") is based on
Malay which is the mother tongue of the Malays of the Peninsula and
the people of central eastern Sumatra. Malay is closely related to
languages throughout Indonesia, the Philippines and the Pacific
Islands, and it has been for centuries the lingua franca of
Southeast Asia. The lessons in this book are prioritized, with more
important words and phrases being give first, so that you may
profit no matter how deeply into the book you go. By studying the
first section only, you acquire a basic "survival" Bahasa Malaysia,
and by mastering the first three sections you should be able to get
around quite well on your own. In order to present each lesson
clearly as a unit and reinforce learning, Malay vocabulary is often
repeated. Colloquial Malay, which is the most commonly spoken and
the most readily understood form of the language, is used here
rather than "formal" Bahasa Malaysia. Care has been taken to
include only vocabulary that has immediate practical application
for visitors. By repetition and memorization of the materials, you
will quickly gain a grasp of the language's basic elements. Rather
than include long and tedious lists of words and phrases in the
lessons themselves, we have appended at the back of the book a
miniature bilingual dictionary that should be adequate for the
needs of most tourists. At the end of the book you will also find
additional information on the use of verb and noun affixes, and
suggestions for further study. "Everyday Malay" includes: Over
2,000 of the most commonly used Malaysian words and phrases. A
useful and concise Malay dictionary. Extensive notes on grammar and
the Malay langauge. Cultural dos and dont's that will make your
visit go smoothly.Knowing a few simple phrases of Malay opens up an
entirely new and more fulfilling travel experience. Malaysians love
it if you can communicate in their language, and in only a few
short hours this book allows you to do just that
