Description

"The term "language" used here is one that is general in nature, i. e. a speech system that is the medium of communication of a particular community. With the meaning given, a speech system can be a language or a dialect of the language. Hence, the Jakun language is that of the Jakun, the Seletar language that of the Orang Seletar, and so on. However, as these languages have been placed in the category of Malayic, meaning that they have a close affinity with Malay, the question arises is: How close are these speech systems to Malay?"
