Malay, the official language of Brunei and Malaysia, is spoken by about 260 million people, making it into one of the most spoken languages in the world. Malay is not considered a language in its own right by linguists but is regarded as a group of closely related languages. Linguists divide the large language group of Malayan into local Malay. Variations of Malay are spoken in Indonesia, Singapore, southern Thailand, Philippines, southern Myanmar, Cocos Island, Christmas Island, and Sri Lanka. Malay originates from the Austronesian language family, part of the Malayo-Polynesian branch. There are many hypothesis about the origins of the Malay language. The most popular one proposed that this language came from the Sumatra islands because of two pieces of evidence. The first piece of evidence was that a 7th century AD Malay documents were found on Bangka Island near Sumatra. The second piece of evidence was that Malayu was the name of an old kingdom in east Sumatra.
