Malay is a major language of the Austronesian language family. The oldest form of Malay is descended from the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by the earliest Austronesian settlers in Southeast Asia. With the penetration and proliferation of Sanskrit vocabulary and the influence of major Indian religions, Ancient Malay evolved into the Old Malay language. Today it is the national language of Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. It is spoken by 270 million people across the Malacca Strait, including the coasts of the Malay Peninsula of Malaysia and the eastern coast of Sumatra in Indonesia, and has been established as a native language of part of western coastal Sarawak and West Kalimantan in Borneo.
