venus in converse ~ 845 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 wait. isn't bahasa melayu/malay only used in malaysia and singapore?and Brunei and ethic Malay people in many part of SEA. Bahasa Indonesia is a standardized version of Bahasa Melayu actually, it's highly mutually intelligible if you want to count it as different language, but some people still consider it as the same language with Bahasa Melayu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahasa Indonesia is a standardized version of Bahasa Melayu actually, it's highly mutually intelligible if you want to count it as different language, but some people still consider it as the same language with Bahasa Melayu bahasa indonesia is kinda different from bahasa melayu from what i have learnt. but if you wanna move to malaysia, you don't really need bahasa melayu because almost everyone in the city speaks decent english. as for singapore, english is like their first language. that's why i'm curious why would someone wanna learn this language because it's kinda useless to me. it's not like the language has great history to learn about.

I know Bahasa Indonesia is kinda different but it's still highly mutually intelligible you can easily learn BI if you learn BM and vice versa it's still pretty good deal imo, it's not that useless.
