After collecting so many references in different sites, I am proudly presents the differences between Indonesian and Malay Language. For those who still don’t know or confuse about the difference, this might be useful.

Comparison and Contrast

- Spelling and Pronounciation

Malay native speaker mostly tends doing the vowel reduction of /a/ to /e/, the vowel reduction of /u/ to /o/ and the /r/ deletion. Actually the spelling and pronounciation of Indonesian depends on the region and the race of the speaker. For instances, Jakarta people tends to use the vowel reduction of /a/ to /e^/ (/e^/ is like e in word “enumeration” whereas /e/ is like e in word “different”).
