PREFACE.
""THE Malay language is spoken not only in the Malay
Peninsula, but also at most of the principal towns
and ports in Java, Sumatra, and Borneo, with just such
a slight variation in different places as not to make a
Malay of one place totally helpless in another. It is also
the lingua franca among the various races that inhabit
those places. It is to be noted, therefore, that the
'"dialect" treated in this work is that in vogue among
the educated Malays in British Malaya ; and though each
/State has its own dialectic peculiarities, the educated class
can understand and make themselves understood wherever
they go in the Malay region.
This handbook is prepared more particularly for those
English-speaking persons who wish to acquire the language
by themselves with the least expenditure of time and
labour. Whilst it is primarily intended to enable residents
and travellers in Malaya to gain sufficient conversational
power to carry them through the commonplaces of every-
day life, it is hoped that the grammatical notes, idiomatic
expressions, and the introduction to the Malay characters
will be found effectual in, affording students with higher
ambitions a sound foundation in their knowledge of the
Malay language. Further, there are explanatory botes
that indicate whether the grammatical rules given are for
literary or colloquial Malay or both. By "colloquial
Malay" is meant the language used by the natives in
speaking with foreigners, especially Europeans.

MALAY SELF-TAUGHT.
INTRODUCTION.
Romanized Spelling.— The system of Romanized Spelling
adopted herein is that of the Government of the Federated
Malay States, the principles of the system being as follows : —
1. The Roman letters used are given their English values
as regards consonants and their Italian values as regards
vowels.
2. The peculiar Malay indeterminate vowel is represented
by er (see Phonetic System below).
3. The peculiar Arabic letters j, ^^ and b, which
necessarily occur in Malay words of Arabic origin, are
represented by dz, dl, and // respectively (see Phonetic
System and Malay Characters).
4. No distinction is made between the soft and the strong
/ (cu and t), s (j_^ and ^, h (^ and ), k ((__$' And j), for
the reason that Malays, educated or uneducated, do not
distinguish these sounds in daily practice, except in writing,
as then the distinction indicates scholarship (see Phonetic
System and Malay Characters').
5. In final syllables ending with consonants the following
rules' are observed as regards the v.owels to be used : —
o with h, k, and ng, but u with the other consonants, e.g.
tar oh, inahok, burong ; kurus,jarum, bakul, tutup, ribut, etc.
e with h and k, but / with the othsr consonants, e.g. tasek,
puteh ; katil, bukit, habis, kirim, etc.
' Malay has only three vowels — one corresponding with a ; one for a sound
intermediate between o in "loth" and u in "put", sometimes more like the
and sometimes more like the u ; and similarly one between i in " pin " and e in
" pen "- The complexity of Rule 5 above is by no means unnecessary ; the rule
was constructed to give as true a representation as possible of the actual Malay
sounds taking the country as a whole.
( 7 )
8 MALAY SELF-TAUGHT.
But when the penultimate vowel is e or o, the final syllable
should contain e ox o in preference to / or u, e.g. pohon (not
pohun) and gesel {\\o\.gesil).
6. {a) Derivative words as far as possible retaini the fornn
of the words from which they are derived.
{b) In prefixes, ka- and sa- are used when they represent
the contracted form oikapadaito) and satu (one) respectively,
e.g. ka-hadapan = kapada hadapan (to the front or forward)
and sa-orang — satu orang (one man). But ke and se are
used when other than those meanings are intended by them-
as in kekayaan (wealth) and sekarang (now).
Phonetic System. — Marlborough's well-known Phonetic
System of spelling is used in this work, and it is to be noted
that this system chiefly differs from that of the Romanized
spelling in the use of the vowels.

a when long, like the first a in "Java", "lava" . ah

Roman eh is represented by . . eh

but when it is almost silent and, tl^e two con-
sonants joined are as if blended into one

INTRODUCTION. 9
The Diphthongs.
ai like J ill "my " or « in "kite" . . . i
au like ow in " how "...... ow
For other diphthongs combinations of phonetic equivalents-
are used, e.g. —
d«« a combination of the Roman sound."? of « and a 6ooak
d.uiX. ,, ,, „ 2< ^, i dooit
hueh „ „ „ u „ e hooe^
stu\ ., „ „ t „ u siool
dia „ „ „ t „ a deeah
perwk „ „ „ i „ o p'rwAk
As to the difference between the soft and the strong s, t,.
h, and k, which i.s not indicated in the Romanized Spelling,
the strong sounds are represented in the Phonetics by s, t,
h, and k respectively, as this will help students to distinguish
them in transliterating. This method of differentiation is
the one adopted by the (European) Committee for the Study
of Oriental Languages (see Romanized Spelling 4, above).
In the case of the peculiar Arabic sounds represented in
the Romanized Spelling by dz, dl, and tl, it is perhaps
impossible for readers who do not care to study the
Romanized system to ascertain at a glance what sounds
these combinations of letters represent ; they are therefore
represented in the Phonetics by sz, dk, and z respectively,
these being the nearest equivalents to them in English (see
Romanized Spelling, 3).
Hyphens.
Hyphens are used in the Phonetics for dividing words
into syllables to facilitate correct pronunciation.
Accent.
The tonic accent or stress is not very marked in Malay ;
and in the Phonetics the syllable on which the accent falls
is indicated by a dash (') at the end of it, thus suka, soo'ka^.
When the da.sh is not placed on any syllable, as sometimes
happens in dissyllabic words, there is to be no tonic accent
at all, the two syllables being of equal length ; eg. bulu,
boo-loo.
THE MALAY CHARACTERS.
, Malay is written from right to left. There are in all
thirty-three letters in the Alphabet, which is in reality the
Arabic Alphabet with a few additions for sounds not found
in Arabic. The form of the letters changes according to
their position and connexion with other letters ; some letters
cannot be joined to others that come after them, while
others can be joined both ways. The following table shows
these forms : —

12 MALAY SELF-TAUGHT.
Notea on the Characters.
' These characters do not occur in words of purely Malay-
origin, but in words borrowed from Arabic or Persian ; they
are therefore often corrupted in colloquialism, especially by
ill-educated Malays ; thus —
/y^, often pronounced as s, e.g.TAa/aika(Tuesda.y) = Salasa..
kh, often pronounced as k or h, e.g. khabar (news) = kadar y
and takhta (throne) = tahta.
dz, often pronounced as z, e.g. '«afe«r'(indisposed) = uzur.
sh, often pronounced as s, e.g. shurga (heaven) = surga.
dl, often pronounced as d or /, e.g. fedluli (care) = feduliy.
and redla (approve) = rela.
tl, often pronounced as z or /, e.g. tlalim (unjust) = zalim,
and tlohor (midday) = lohor.
'a, often pronounced as a (or as i or u when the ' is fol-
lowed by either of those letters) or as k when it comes-
at the end of a syllable, e.g. 'aziviai (ta.\\si[m.r\) = aziinat,
'ilmu (knowledge) = //;««, 'umur (aLge) = umur, tania^
(greedy) = tamak.
gh, often pronounced as r, e.g. ghaib (disappear) = rail.
f, often pronounced as/, e.g. fikir {think') =piktr; indeed^
the Malays never use the p form, t_S, in writing, but
use i_j for both p and f.
Further, there are two letters not given in the foregoing
table—
(1) il (lam-alif), which is really a combination of J (lam)
and \ (alif).
(2) » (hamzah), which serves as ( f (k) when it comes at
the end of a word, as in pokok (tree) = ^A^ (not i .C^.i) ;
and as \ [a) in kekayaan = ^\^ ; also in merekaitu (they) =
"^ These letters are not found in the Arabic Alphabet.
' See Romanized Spelling, 4, and Phonetic System.
^ O K^) occurring at the end of a Malay word must not
be pronounced hard even in aiming at scholarly accuracy,,
but very soft like k in "bookcase".
MALAY SPELLING.
,As the Malays have adopted the Arabic Alphabet, so
have they also adopted the Arabic rule of spelling ; that is
to say, they omit the vowels, which are \, i_f, and j,
whenever their sounds in a syllable are short. This rule
may be taken as a general principle, in the spelling of
Malay. At any rate, that was the standard to be found in
the early Malay literature ; but modern writers sometimes
insert tiie vowels when they serve to remove ambiguity,
except in the case of words .borrowed from Arabic.
No one has as yet attempted to lay down any hard-and-
fast rules of spelling in Malay ; and if one tries to fix them
by existing literature, a rule will have many exceptions,
perhaps as numerous as the words that follow it. Therefore
the best advice one can give to those desirous of learning to.
write Malay correctly is to learn the spelling of each word
by heart. At all events, that is the dictum of the best
authorities. The following rules, however, may be found
helpful to beginners : —
Rule 1. When a word begins with i_? or ^ as a vowel,
a silent 1 is written before the lJ or • ; e.g. —

<J^.'
ai-sk
u/ar (snake)

orang (man)
b^'
au-rng
Rule 2. Words of two syllables of equal length ending
with the sound of lJ or j generally use both the vowels ; e.g. —
kaj/u (wood)
.^.^
ka-yu
/>agi (morning)
J^
pa-gi

Aari (day)

^b
ba-p
kelapa (coco-.nut)
^K

JU^'

Rule 4. When a syllable with the sound of 1 ends with
a consonant it generally omits the 1 ; e.g. —
tanibat (tie)
c:-^-^-
tm-bt
barang (thing)
i>
ba-rng
viakan (eat)
J"^
ma-kn
tidak (not)
6^
ti-dk
koyak (tear)
J:'/
ko-yk
kakak (sister)
J<1^
ka-kk
Rule 5. When the vowel ^^ or j is used in one syllable,
the succeeding- sylfeble omits it; e.g. —
fikir (think) X^ fi-l^""
pohon (tree) a^^ po-hn
pukul (hit) Ji'.i pu-kl
gosok (rub) (S^i^ go-sk >
■ kodok (frog) •iOj$' ko-dk

sa-tengah (a half)

Rule 8. When adding a suffix to a word, e.g. -lah, kan,.
or an, the last syllable in the root word is generally
lengthened^ and therefore takes a vowel in the derivative
word ; e.g. —

OUTLIN'E OF GRAMMAR.
It has been truly observed that Malay is a most idiomatic
language. In order, therefore, to Speak it with perfect
accuracy students are recommended to learn the Malay
sentences given herein by heart, and to have as much inter-
course with the Malays as possible. The few grammatical
rules given below are only those which are peculiar to the>
language in so far as they differ from English ones.
Inflections of words are given under a separate heading.
Nouns.
*
Rule I. There is no separate form for the plural noun
in Malay, e.g. :
English.
a mai>
five men
MALAir.
sa-orang
lima orang
Rule 2. Sometimes a noun is reduplicated, and then it
means (i) that the number is indefinite, e.g. :
the men who came I orang-orang yang datang
yesterday i semalam.
(li) that there is more than one variety of the same thing, e.g. :
various kinds of things
different kinds of flowers
barang-barang
bunga-bunga
Rule 3. There is no inflection to denote gender ; but
laki-laki is added to define male Bind perempuan for female of
persons, Jantan for male and (5/ifz'«« for female of animals, e.g. :
anak laki-laki
son
daughter
horse
mare
Malay Self-Taught ( 65
anak pirhnpuan
kuda jantan
kuda betina
66 MALAY SELF-TAUGHT.
Rule 4. To express " possession ", corresponding with
the use of " 's " in Engh'sh, (i) in colloquialism the word
punya is used after the noun, e.g. :
English.
William's umbrella
Malay.
William punya payong
(ii) In writing, the substantive is placed before the possessor
without using /««y«, e.g. :
Willian\'s umbrella | payong William
Rule 5. To express " possession " corresponding with '
the use of "of" in English, the substantive is placed before
the name of the possessor without a preposition, e.g. :
the legs of the table •.*;,; | kaki meja
Pronouns.
(For personal pronouns see p. 63.)
Rule 6. There is no form for the possessive case of
pronouns but to express " possession ", (i) colloquially the
■wQvd punya is used after the pronoun, e.g. :
my saksya punya
his, her, or its
dia punya
(ii) In writing the substantive is placed before the pronoun, e.g.
payong sahaya
payong dia
my umbrella
his umbrella
Rule 7. To form reflexive pronouns the word sendiri is
added to the pronouns, e.g. :
myself sahaya sendiri
ourselves | kita sendiri
Rule 8. (i) There is no form for the objective case of
pronouns, but to denote it prepositions are used. (For
examples, see under heading Prepositions.) (ii) Sometimes
-nya is used for the objective case " him " or " her " in a
sentence with its verb in the passive voice. (For examples,
see under heading Verbs : Passive Voice.)
OUTLINE OF GRAMMAR.
67
Articles.
Rule 9. Strictly speaking, there is no article in Malay
exactly equivalent to the English "a"' and "the". Itu
(literally = " the") is actually equivalent to "that yonder" or
" those yonder ". /^/(literally = "this ")is actually equivalent
to " this here " or " these here ".
Rule 10. The position of itu or ini is not before the
noun it qualifies, but after it, e.g. :
English.
that house
these horses
Rule II.
noun it qualifies, and generally -lah is added to it, e.g
that is my house | itu-lah riimah sahaya
Malay.
rania itu
kudo, ini
For emphasis, itu or ini is placed before the
Adjectives.
Rule 12. Qualifying adjectives come after the nouns
they qualify, not before them, e.g. :
cold water ayer sejok
ripe plantain pisang uiasak
Rule 13. When two or more adjectives qualify a noun
at the same time, the word yang is used before the
qualifying adjectives and after the noun qualified, e.g. :
a fat, old man Sa-orang yang gemok lagi
tua
Rule 14. The comparative degree in Malay is formed
by using (i) ISbeh before the adjective, (ii) lagi after the
adjective, e.g. :
(positive) good
(comparative) (i) better
(ii) better
baik
lebeh baik
baik, lagi
Rule 15. The superlative degree is formed by using
(}) yang . . . sakali, (U) yang . sa-hahis-habis . . ., e.g..:
(positive) good
(superlative) (i) best
(superlative) (ii) best
^ For the equivalent of
"Auxiliary Numerals", p. 49.
baik
yang baik sakali
yang sa-habis-habis baik
see footnote p. 48. Also see
68 malay self-taught.
Verbs.

(iii) when the verb " to be " is preceded by " there ", e.g. :

J,,,, Rule 1 8. \Vhen the verb " to be " is used in expressing
a man's vocation, the word ada is left out and kerja is used
instead of it {kerja =^0^:^), e.g.:
he is a barber | dia kerja tukang-chukur
Rule 19. Verbs do not undergo inflection to denote
person or number.
Rule 20. The same form' of the verb is used for both
the present tense and the past, e.g. :

quially, by using the word sudah ( = finished) before the

verb, e.g. :
wheri he had written the
letter hfe went away
apnbila telah sudah di-tulis-
nya sural itu ia-pun pergir

he is writing I dia tSngah iitenulis '

Rule 26. But when the auxiliary verbs "do", does",

formed by using the word kena before the verb, e.g. :
English.
he was killed
he will be killed
Malay.
dia kena bunoh
dia nanti kena bunoh
Rule 28. In writing, the "passive voice" is formed by
using the prefix c/z- before the verb and is largely used in
preference to the " active voice ", which therefore is col-
loquial, e.g. :
English.
she took the bird
he wrote a letter
to his wife
Colloquial or
Active Voice.
dia ambil itu
bilrong
dia tulis satu surat
ka-pada isteri-
nya*
Literary or Passive

puchok surat ka-
pada isteri-nya*
* Note the suffix -nya, meaning " by him ", or " of his ",
or "of her" (cf Rule 8 (ii)).
Rule 29. In writing, even with an intransitive verb
wliich must necessarily be always in the "active voice", the
verb precedes the "subject " and has -/ak added to it, e.g. :
• English. Malay.
he went to Ipoh pergi-lah ia ka-Ipoh

quickly than James
(superlative) John runs most
quickly of all
John larilebeh chepat daripada
James
John lari yang chepat sa-kali
daripada setnua

Rule 37. When two or more adjectives are connected
by "and" { = dan), the word lagi is used to connect them
instead oi dan, e.g. :

Rule 38. When two or more verbs are connected by

koyakkan-nya
Note. — Lansong is generally used in speaking, and lalu

Rule 39. There are no equivalents in Malay for the
adverbial conjunctions "when" and "where"; but generally
the phrases /«(/« ;««.?«( = at the time) and di-tempat { = &t
