Sarawak Malay (Kelakar Sarawak)
Native to: Sarawak
Native speakers: 900,000 - 1,200,000
Language family: Austronesian
is a Malayic language native to the State of Sarawak. It is a common language used by natives of Sarawak. This variant is related to Bruneian Malay, spoken in the districts of Limbang and Lawas (Sarawak) and bears strong similarities with Sanggau, Sintang and Sekadau Malay spoken in the northern part of the West Kalimantan province in Indonesia. There is some debate on whether it is a vernacular variety of Malay or a separate language altogether. It is more similar to Ibanic languages compared to the Malay dialects of Sumatra and the Malayan Peninsula and is different enough from standard Malay that speakers outside of Sarawak are often unable to understand it without prior study.
