Dear Anu,
Hari Om and to this thread.

for your feedback . My next post will be on relationships in Malay language. For your information Malay Language in Malay will be Bahasa Malaysia or more commonly known as BM in Malaysia. It’s very easy to learn Malay Language as most of the words are actually adapted from Sanskrit word. I give you few examples. In Malay two is dua, husband is suami (pronounced- swamy), wife –isteri.
Love to hear from you again later.

Love,
Vashini

Dear vashini,
You are doing a good job of introducing BM to the group. May be you can also emphasize on the diction too like K is silent in adik and the phonetic way like CA- cha in cawan etc.
Pls keep up the good work & happy that some one is introducing Malaysia.
May God bless you.
