Dialectical peculiarities are so abundant in Malay that it is
impossible to teach the colloquial language of the people without
imparting to the lesson the distinct marks of a particular
locality. In parts of India it is said proverbially that in every
twelve kos there is a variation in the language,1 and very much the
same might be said of the Malay Peninsula and adjacent islands. The
construction of the language and the general body of words remain,
of course, the same, but in every state or subdivision of a state
there are peculiar words and expressions and variations of accent
and pronunciation which belong distinctively to it. Words common in
one district sound strangely in another, or, it may be, they convey
different meanings in the two places.
