Sarawakian Malay
Sarawak Malay (Standard Malay: ''Bahasa Melayu Sarawak'' or ''Bahasa Sarawak'', Jawi: ''بهاس ملايو سراوق'', Sarawak Malay: ''Kelakar Sarawak'') 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.. Dialects According to Asmah Haji Omar (1993), Sarawak Malay can be divided into three dialects which are: * Kuching * Saribas * Sibu F ...

Contents The songs on the album were written and/or performed in English, as part of the English-medium music scene Malaysia experienced in the 1990s, where local music was able to reach and grab the interest of international fans.
