The Malay or Malayan languages are a group of closely related languages spoken by Malays and related peoples across Brunei Indonesia Malaysia Singapore and Southern Thailand. They have traditionally been classified as Malay Para-Malay and Aboriginal Malay but this reflects geography and ethnicity rather than a proper linguistic classification. The Malayan languages are mutually unintelligible to varying extents though the distinction between language and dialect is unclear in many cases.
