However, in areas of central to southern where vernacular varieties of Malay are indigenous, Indonesians refer to it as Bahasa Melayu and consider it one of their regional languages. Standard Malay, also called Court Malay, was the literary standard of the pre-colonial and Sultanates, and so the language is sometimes called Malacca, Johor or Riau Malay (or various combinations of those names) to distinguish it from the various other. According to 16, several of the Malayan varieties they currently list as separate languages, including the varieties of Peninsular Malay, are so closely related to standard Malay that they may prove to be dialects. There are also several which are based on a lingua franca derived from Classical Malay as well as, which appears to be a. Main article: The can be divided into five periods: Old Malay, the Transitional Period, the Malacca Period (Classical Malay), Late Modern Malay and modern Malay. It is not clear that Old Malay was actually the ancestor of Classical Malay, but this is thought to be quite possible.
Old Malay was influenced by the literary language of Classical India and a scriptural language of. Sanskrit loanwords can be found in Old Malay vocabulary.

The laws were for the, who today still live in the highlands of. The Malay language came into widespread use as the of the (1402–1511).
During this period, the Malay language developed rapidly under the influence of Islamic literature. The development changed the nature of the language with massive infusion of, and vocabularies, called Classical Malay. Under the Sultanate of Malacca the language evolved into a form recognisable to speakers of modern Malay. When the court moved to establish the Johor Sultanate, it continued using the classical language; it has become so associated with Dutch Riau and British Johor that it is often assumed that the Malay of Riau is close to the classical language. However, there is no closer connection between Malaccan Malay as used on Riau and the Riau vernacular.
One of the oldest surviving letters written in Malay is a letter from Sultan Abu Hayat of, in present-day Indonesia, dated around 1521–1522.

This means that there are some homographs, so perang can be either /pəraŋ/ ('war') or /peraŋ/ ('blond') (but in Indonesia perang with /e/ sound is also written as pirang). Some analyses regard /ai, au, oi/ as diphthongs.
However, ai and au can only occur in open syllables, such as cukai ('tax') and pulau ('island'). Words with a phonetic diphthong in a closed syllable, such as baik ('good') and laut ('sea'), are actually two syllables. An alternative analysis therefore treats the phonetic diphthongs ai, au and oi as a sequence of a monophthong plus an approximant: /aj/, /aw/ and /oj/ respectively. There is a rule of: the non-open vowels /i, e, u, o/ in bisyllabic words must agree in height, so hidung ('nose') is allowed but.

There is no grammatical plural in Malay either; thus orang may mean either 'person' or 'people'. Verbs are not for person or number, and they are not marked for tense; tense is instead denoted by time adverbs (such as 'yesterday') or by other tense indicators, such as sudah 'already' and belum 'not yet'. On the other hand, there is a complex system of verb affixes to render nuances of meaning and to denote or intentional and accidental. Malay does not have a in the sense that English does. In intransitive clauses, the noun comes before the verb. When there is both an and an, these are separated by the verb (OVA or AVO), with the difference encoded in the voice of the verb.
OVA, commonly but inaccurately called 'passive', is the basic and most common word order. Borrowed words.
