Malay ~ Bahasa Malaysia

[Ash_my]

In the 14th century, during the Malacca Sultanate, Malay was used as a lingua franca in the Malay archipelago, by the locals as much as by the traders and artisans that stopped at Malacca via the Straits of Malacca. Nowadays, Malay is used mostly in Malaysia (officially called Bahasa Malaysia) and Brunei, as well as - but to a lesser extent in - Singapore (one out of their four official languages; a "street" version of Malay - Baba Malay was the lingua franca in Singapore prior to the introduction of English as a working and instructional language, and remains so for the elder generation).

Here is a lil bit about my mother tongue language...How I wish it was still like its past time...Well once, Malay is used as Lingua Franca for the traders and any one who one to trade in Malacca (A state in Malaysia)..

Now we are using English as the international language...but it doesn't matter if we learn Malay as well right??
