QUOTE(eugene90 @ Apr 29 2009, 10:23 PM) malays have to admid that their language have not reached maturity state... I dont think it is young...but it is their nature to copy because according to history their glory are by the maritime geverment...so many sosialising with foreigner until many scholer in malaysian once ask what truly is a distinctive malay tradition and so on...and there almost nothing ...everything are copy from somebody....so malay is like a 'bangsa' of copying...cant help b'coz of so many of trading in the old days ,which include trading and changing idea's........etcgood eg, they cannot even describe a "ball" , instead they borrow words from english, but they cannot pronounce it correctly, so they call it "bola"... can you see how young the language is?
