Malay as a Second Language

Malay as a Second Language

The populations of these places combined are 180 million, yet this would not be a proper estimate of the Malaysian language, Although Malaysian is the official language it is not the mother tongue of the majority. For example, in Indonesia (where Malay is the official language), the most widely spoken language is Javanese. In Indonesia, approximately 70 million people speak Javanese. [BM] {VA}
