- In this video we are Tamil and Malay by showcasing a list of common words between the two languages and finishing off with a couple of sentences. The Tamil representative in the video is Madhumitha who hails from the city of Chennai (Madras) in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and the Malay representative is Hanna, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Malay (Bahasa Melayu / بهاس ملايو) is a major language of the Austronesian family spoken in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore and also used in some parts of the Philippines as a trading language. Prior to the arrival of Islam in Southeast Asia, the Pallava, Nagari, and old Sumatran scripts were used in writing the Malay language. As their rulers converted to Islam, and the religion began to spread across the region, a modified form of the Arabic script (Jawi) was formed. The arrival of the Europeans brought the Latin script, and in recent times, the Latin-derived Rumi alphabet has become the most commonly used for both official and informal purposes.
Tamil (தமிழ்) is a Dravidian language and is one of the longest-surviving classical languages in the world. It is predominantly spoken by the Tamil people of India and Sri Lanka, as well as a large community of Tamil speakers outside that region. In addition to Sri Lanka, Tamil also has official language status in Singapore, the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. Tamil is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. Tamil literature has a classical tradition of its own which is very rich and spans more than two thousand years. Among the many historical works, the five Tamil epics Jivaka-chintamani, Cilappatikaram, Manimekalai, Kundalakesi and Valayapathi are together known as The Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature. The earliest known literary work in Malayalam is Ramacharitam, an epic poem written by Cheeraman. The Kannada language is usually divided into three linguistic phases: Old (450-1200 CE), Middle (1200-1700 CE) and Modern (1700-present) and its literary characteristics are categorized as Jain, Lingayatism and Vaishnava-recognizing the prominence of these three faiths in giving form to classical expression of the language, until the advent of the modern era. Telugu literature also contains many masterpieces, including historical ones such as Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu (Pothana Bhagavatam) by Pothana (బమ్మెర పోతన), Basava Purana, Panditaradhya charitra, Malamadevipuranamu and Somanatha Stava by Palkuriki Somanatha, Sumati Satakam by Baddena Bhupaludu, Kanyasulkam by Gurajada Apparao, Gayopakhyanam by Chilakamarti Lakshmi Narasimham, and many others!

Could you possibly, if you can of course, do an episode of Horn African languages similarities or a challenge to see who can understand each other the most between Somali, Amharic, Afar and Oromo please?
Please make a video of, Korean and Tamil, would be interesting
I love how much they seem to enjoy finding the similarities between their languages. It's really heartwarming
As a Malayalam speaker, I found it very very interesting. Even we use a derivative of the word pingan for the plate- pinjani. All the words mentioned are used in Malayalam too.
Malayam x malay
Malaysian Malay has more Tamil influence than, say, Sumatran/Bornean Malay dialects or Indonesian thanks to the sizable Tamil population in Malaysia. One thing I am thankful about Indian Malaysians are the food, you can’t go wrong with mee mamak, teh tarik, or roti canai! Cheers from Indonesia!
For those wondering the differences between our two countries, for example we don’t use Tamil loanwords in Malay like 1:40 “misai” and 2:21 “katil” in Indonesian, we use original Austronesian terms of “kumis” instead for mustache and “ranjang” or “tempat tidur” for bed. We don’t really use pinggan, acuan, etc either. One thing to note is that these Tamil loanwords in Malay also exist in our dictionary but they’re not common.
BTW “kuda” is actually a loanword from Sanskrit via Prakrit “ghoda” so that’s why it’s not that similar to “kutirai” in Tamil.
Indonesian speak Malay
Regarding Indian food in Malaysia, one thing you definitely cannot forget or ignore is mamak food, which is food made by Malaysia's Tamil Muslim community.
@@ekmalsukarno2302 oh definitely, I really miss having late night grubs at the mamaks. We do have the things they sell there like roti canai, mixed rice, instant noodles, toast, teh tarik etc in Indonesia, but usually not in one place and certainly not available all round the clock. Mamaks are truly the one of the marvels of Malaysia (and Singapore)!
Sanskrit is Malay.
India have their own language Tamil, Hindu, sikh and so on. Indians learn Sanskrit because of religion. Long time ago, most of the religious text was in sanskrit and Palembang was once a varsity or university for those coming and going to India or China. It was said that a lot of scripture were stolen when Chola invaded Palembang.
There are Tamil communities in Sumatera too. oh btw the words existed since the Hindu Buddhist kingdoms of Malay around the area when the theological and literature language of old Malay heavily influenced by Tamil and Sanskrit (mostly during Srivijaya empire and even before or after the existence of that empire)
We indian community in Malaysia speak malay. And many malay words are also from tamil words 😊🎉
And sadly comunity Chinese in Malaysia cannot speak Malay like Indian do 😭
Thanks to the mighty Cholas who invaded south-east Asia. They had a vast empire thousand years ago. The malay Lang has largely tamil sanskrit. And also Chinese Portuguese English Dutch.
Fak Chola empire
Where is the proof of such invasion? The cholas did have a relationship with the natives but there was no such invasion and this was just hoax created by the Tamils.
Says who?
Got any prove? Or just a movie
Not surprising considering contact with Kedah especially with merchants etc. and the Chola invasion of Srivijaya, also the bulk of the migrations with workers in the time of the British Empire (still with a sizeable population in Malaysia) - cool to see the impact on language...
Why the need to invade Sri Wijaya?
Because Sri Wijaya was richer than the Chola and Chola was once one of its territories even the Chola temple was a contribution from the Sri Wijayan Empire.
Jealous ehh!!!
Who contribute to whom?
Who stole most of the scriptures in Palembang?
Why there is Cheras?
Who is the Chera?
Many languages in the S.E Asian region have a strong Tamil influence owing to early Tamil empires that ruled the region
They did not rule. Show me one proof of an invasion in SEA?
It's so nice to watch this type of video. Really enjoyed watching it. I would like to add some similarities between Tamil/Sanskrit (Indian language) and Malay language, which comes to my mind. Though are many more words but here are few which comes to my mind at the moment.

I am a malayali and most of the word in here are same in malayalam and surprisingly i got it ahead than the tamil girl 😅😅
Is there any connection with Malay, malaysia, malayali, Malayalam, malaya
Malay - bangsa melayu
Alam - world
@@MuhammadDanial-mo9ts
Malayalam means the language spoken by the people in the mountain regions in Tamil land
Malai = mountain
Alam = region
Malai+Alam = Malayalam
It was once a dialect of old Tamil and it formed as seperate language
Both bahasa Malay and Malayalam are different
@@rishikeswaran8908 Seriously....that was what Malay believe....
Malay - mountain
Alam - not only region but universe/world/domain
The underworld where the jinns - Alam ghaib
But Malays not only live in mountain range but also conquer the sea. There were times when boat making was our speciality especially taking down huge trees to make enormous ships. You can google on Malay boat and see the huge tree that was made into a boat. Still ..it's mind blowing that Malayalam thinks as such!!! For info, there are also Malayalam in Malaysia and they are fairer than Tamil, not that I 'm racist or colorist, just saying what I saw. In fact not just Malayalam, Bengali, Singh, Tamil, South North Indians,Nepalist, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, you named it, we got it here...
Muthirai (Mudra), Logam (Log) are loan from Sanskrit into possibly both Tamil and Malay. Guess most of the words traveled along with seafarers, traders and settlers over the centuries and influenced Malay.
Hyeeee... i saw ur comment and just want to tell that I don't think both (Muthirai & Ulogam) came from sanskrit to Tamil because (Tamil is an unique language in my point of view). Even though It influenced by other languages like (English , sanskrit , persian and so on). It's original Tamil word didn't extinct... so, I did some research and made a conclusion that both (muthirai and ulogam) are Tamil words... Hope this will help u understand.. Thank you
Why is not other way? It may from Tamil to Sanskrit ...
Being of Indian origin and born in Malaysia I can speak both languages. It's fascinating to see the similarities despite both being from different language groups. The Malay language is also influenced by Sanskrit
As a Malaysian Indian, we need not be do surprised,as history tells us that traders came to the then Malaya from India,n many Tamils were either brought here or came independently. So that's how the malay language is interspersed with words originating from Tamil and Sanskrit
@@sithaletchemykrishnaiyer6560 The Sanskrit connection is also very interesting. As I know, at the time not many from north india came to Malaya. That must mean in the past the Tamils were the ones that brought Sanskrit to the region
@@fgtrhwu2yes, Malays and Tamils were Hindus then, so both Sanskrit and Old Tamil was important literary languages for them.
@@fgtrhwu2 Tamils brought Sanskrit, prakrit, pallava granda script and also many saints.
One thing worth knowing is that speakers of Tamil and Malay have had contact with each other dating back to more than a millennium ago, since both Tamil-speaking and Malay-speaking territories were part of the pre-modern spice trade route. In addition, it is said that Tamil-speaking Muslims played a major, influential role in spreading Islam to Southeast Asia. In fact, the black fez (known in Malaysia as songkok and in Indonesia as peci) was popularised by South Indian Muslims.
Me watching this as a Malaysian Tamil 😂❤
There are so many similarities with Tamil and Marathi too!
Peti is also box (usually wooden) in old marathi!
The word for mother, sister, matriarch and patriarch cone from tamil.
In Hindi ,wooden/metal box is still called peti
Peti means box in Gujarati. We are use this word daily routine. Peti is derived from Sanskrit word = Petikaa.
In Malayalam also petti means box.
In sinhala too we use petti to call any kind of box..
I love the Malay and Indonesian videos, especially as a student of Indonesian! Great job to both participants!
I’ve mentioned this in my comment but please note that words like misai, katil, acuan, etc are not common in Indonesian so please be mindful not to get Malay words confused with Indonesian ones.
@@kilanspeaks thank you!
@@letsTAKObout_it you’re welcome! Good luck with your Indonesian learning!
Indonesia Language or known as Bahasa Indonesia's roots are mostly from Malay words (one of ethnic or race in Indonesia), so you will find similarities between two.
Some Malay word also loan or absorbed word from Javanese (ethnic originally from Indonesia but migrated to Malaysia long time ago and became Malaysian)
Some word are Same but not commonly use between Malaysian and Indonesian.
Like Bed as mentioned above.
Shoe, SEPATU (Indonesia)
Sepatu also exist in Malay Dictionary, but mostly use in Malay is KASUT.
how incredible close languages, quite an interesting video Bahador..another great one which I so DID enjoy a lot
Dear Malaysia ❤️🇲🇾 love from Tamil Nadu
I love this channel sm thank for this you’re an icon
9:07 A small correction. 9:07 குயில்/Kuyil is what we call the bird cucoo/koel in Tamil. The word for Quail is காடை/kaadai (different from கடை/shop 8:35 ). Awesome video like every other one of yours. Always a pleasure to watch. 😊
Dont confuse. They are correct. Kedai is Shop in Malay and In Tamil is Kaadai.
Bahadur, I enjoy your videos. Besides your kind manner, this is a remarkable way of bringing people together. Thank you 🙏🏽
I really appreciate that. Thank you 🙏
Sadly, this is a lot more to do with Malay borrowing Tamil words than languages being related. This is not like comparing two related languages at all, it is just like taking the English word “coincidence” to the French word “coïncidence” or Italian “coincidenza” - so similar! (Because it is a loan word). It doesn’t make English a Romance language. Or more extreme- typhoon and Italian “tifone”, both are loan words from a Greek/Arabic/Chinese (you decide, I always was taught Chinese).
You should gave a video on northeast indian austroasiatic languages and Asean austroasiatic language.
This is amazing, can you please do one with Tibetan!
There are several reasons behind these similarities between Tamil and Malay.
1. Both languages have been influenced by Sanskrit in ancient times.
2. Malay may have been influenced by Tamil in ancient times due to contact with Pallavas and Cholas.
3. Both Tamil and Malay may have had some mutual influence on each other in Malaysia in modern times.
4. Perhaps some common words may have Persian, Hindustani, Arabic, Portuguese or English origins as well.
There's a fifth reason. It is said that Tamil-speaking Muslims played a major, influential role in spreading Islam to Southeast Asia. In fact, the black fez (known in Malaysia as songkok and in Indonesia as peci) was popularised by South Indian Muslims.
@@ekmalsukarno2302 I did not know about Tamil Muslims in particular but I do know that Muslims from the Indian subcontinent in general played a role in spreading Islam to Southeast Asia. That is also probably the reason why some words similar to Hindi-Urdu (that are not directly from Sanskrit, Persian or Arabic) are found in Malay and Indonesian.
@@user-xb5eo2bm1n The ancient mosque in Malaysia is built by tamil muslims. Also ancient Kerala (chera kingdom) are also tamil speaking region. Some chera kings became muslims too.
@@vanisridhar5509 I see. I did not know this. But of course I do know that Tamils had a strong influence in Malaysia since the ancient times so it makes sense.
@@user-xb5eo2bm1nTamiil have no relation with Sanskrit
Its கோவில் kovil not koyil.
Anyway thanks bahador❣️
Tunang ( fiancée) maybe derived from Tunai ( companion)
Ina malayalam aslo same tuna means your helper or partner or may be protector etc
I don't speak either of these languages but still I was able to guess
Peti
Manikam as mani
Muttirai as mudra
And kutirai ( it was in my history textbook as kudirai chetti ,they were horse merchants of South Indian Empire)
I love to speak any Indian language. This supposed a jumpstart to me. ❤❤❤💋💋💋
You should do tongan , samoan and Malay
The most spoken language in Srilanka is sinhala or sinhalese which shares lot of simillarities with tamil, hindi and lot of other south asian languages. Can u do a comparison with sinhala language and another language?
I have. Here's the link:
czcams.com/video/yC3OURAPH5Y/video.html
I had no idea Tamil and Malay had this many vocab words in common - I wonder if they are direct loans between each other or how they came to be the same in both languages. Really interesting video!
The thing is, speakers of Tamil and Malay have had contact with each other dating back to more than a millennium ago, since both Tamil-speaking and Malay-speaking territories were part of the pre-modern spice trade route.
because the Tamil Chola Empire expanded into Malay Peninsula and Sumatra in the 11th century.
I think the other replies to your query have explained the similarity between the 2 languages. Actually, there're lots more words in Malay borrowed from Tamil and sanskrit
@@ekmalsukarno2302 I see…very interesting, thanks for your response!
Simple… Indians were in Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries way before the independence The Malay language borrowed these words.
The word Malaysia is from Tamil as well. Malay from malaiur.
Malaysia language consist of 60% of sanscrite and other languages as well like arabic, Javanese and etc. Before British rule Malaysia lots of Tamil kings came to Malaysia and Indonesia..
60 Malay
Tukey 30
Sanskrit 20
English 15
I think you mentioned the percentages of the influenced languages from other languages to Malay...It's not that correct because , u didn't include (Arabic,tamil,mandarin,portuguese&dutch) as they are one of the influence languages of Malay... (most influenced to Malay is Arabic & sanskrit).. tq@@Kane_2001

Good to know about Tamil and Malay
The Malay lady can understand Tamil well.
This is not surprising as Tamil Empires like the Pallava Dynasty and Chola Empire had a huge influence on Malaysia in the last 2000 years. Adding to that the Tamil trading guilds establishes several colonies in Malaysia in the last 2000 years which influenced the local languages.

A 100yrs ago your luggage would consist of travel chests with large leather straps or metal locking straps. Its funny they wouldn't realize they were talking about the same thing because they are too young to have seen travel chests.
Haha glad she pointed out shoes at the end which is indeed the same meaning and word in Malay that is "sepatu" as per our Malay Dictionary (Kamus Perpustakaan). But we commonly use "kasut" instead of sepatu. There are more loanwoards from Tamil such as roti (rotti), mempelam (māmpazham), kolam (kulam), kakak (Akka), saudara (sagodharar), and one of the most famous dish in Malaysia Satay was also derived from the word "Satai/Sathai" means flesh. The rest of Malay is a combination of Sanskrit and Urdu, Arab, Portuguese and English.
Out of all that you mentioned,
1) Roti is from Hindi( Tamils didn't eat wheat like the North Indians until the late 20th century CE). They brought or popularized the recipe from Bollywood movies.
2) kulam is from Sanskrit( which means clan), but Kolam is Tamil for colorful drawings( Rangoli in Hindi).
3)Sahodhara( meaning sibling) is originally a Sanskrit word, which got tamilised to Sagodara( brother), original Tamil word for sibling is Utanpirappu. Rest all words along with the video are very much of centamizh origins.
-from an Indo-Aryan Odia speaker.
@@infinite5795 thanks for correcting me but for the word kulam here isn't referring to "Kula" of Sanskrit but the kolam/kulam of Tamizh where it has the same word and meaning in Malay. The kolam you're referring is "kōlam" not kolam/kulam. The rest is yep derived from Samskrutham but commonly used in Tamizh too.
@@vikinieswaranvki than it's correct, Kōlam is definitely of Tamil origin and is a loanword into Malay. Actually, we Indo-aryans lost the distinction between vowel lengths totally( our scripts do have it, for writing Sanskrit and singing in metres) so I always marvel at the keenness of Dravidians to maintain even lengthy vowel lengths historically, y'all as a linguistic family stayed closer to Proto-Dravidian overall, than say us to Sanskrit, let alone PIE.
@@infinite5795 it's because Tamizh was not only used in scriptures or literatures but also majorly used for verbally speaking in terms of communication among the ppl those days (from India to South East Asia). Meanwhile Sanskrit has been used vastly on scriptures for studying purposes and puja upachara which were most commonly spoken by a specific community such as Brahmins. In other words Tamizh is like more Indigenous to the natives of India (as you said Proto-Dravidian) and so ppl used to speak it more that has branched into many dialects among them from Old Tamil. It is also stated that Tamizh was the Southern language of India centuries ago and North was known as Ariyam(Aryan) and Samskrutham was known AriyaMozhi(Aryan's language) in one of the oldest Thamizh literature of Siddhas. 😊
@@vikinieswaranvki it's true, we Northern Indians mostly speak dialects of Vedic or Classical Sanskrit aka Prakrits, we are somewhat similar in vocab but grammatically, we are very different. I know Kannada actually apart from Odia, Dravidian languages in general, in my opinion, are vocab wise very different( in comparison to Indo-aryan languages) but grammatically very similar.
Malay language = 70% are combination of Tamil and Sanskrit. 1200 yrs of old history. Balance are combinations of Arabs ,Chinese and so on. Due to evolution the language localise.
Misinformation
How can she hard to guess materai/meterai? Yes indeed in Indonesia we use meterai/materai in daily basis, it's the thing, a small piece of paper just like a poststamp, but meterai used for contract, agreement etc. not for posting a mail like poststamp. Maybe you don't use meterai/materai on daily basis in Malaysia? just wonder 🤔
Bangsa hindon
Meterai in Malaysia commonly used for big events. Between countries, big companies and big events in your life like marriage.
Yes the stamp will be bound all parties involve in the agreement to the law, any party(ies) who breach it the other can bring it to the court.
The word meterai is used for agreement in Malaysia. Meterai also sounds like mudra which means "seal".
@@yimveerasak3543 common word use is 'menandatangan', meterai sounds very big deal for common occasions.
But in the contract will be write as 'ditandatangan' or 'dimeterai'
Eg : Malaysia dan Indonesia memetrai perjanjian dua hala.
Saya menandatangani surat akuan sebagai ibu angkat.
11:18 Bless you!
Tunai in Malay can also means fulfill. Like “tunai janji” that means fulfill a wish.
Tunaikan solat, tunaikan zakat, tunaikan fardu haji.
Tunai has been replaced by Kontan in Bahasa Indonesia.
In Malayalam language tuna is used like. Daivam tunakatte for may God help you. Tuna in my language means help or helper to succeed

@@Kane_2001 don't get me wrong.. I am Malay 50% by blood and 100% by culture from the Sumatran jungle. Alas my national language is Bahasa Indonesia not Melayu. There're clear-cut differences albeit Bahasa Indonesia herself was derived from earliest form of Malay. You may say Bahasa Indonesia is a codified creole. Grammar is heavily imbued by Minang and vocabularies are taken verbatim from Javanese n to a lesser extent from Sundanese. There is nobody (even the news anchor) speaks textbook Indonesian here on.
In Malayalam muthirai means same as in malay

Bahasa Melayu Indonesia 👍
Malay word have plenty of Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi words in them. The old Malay has more than 50% Indian influence because of the Pallava, Chola and people use to follow Indian custom especially the royal, engagement and parliamentary post like Raja, Permaisuri, menteri, perdana menteri, guru, agama, syurga, neraka, food item like putu, appam, and many more. But the newer generation don't know how the Malay word have Indian words because the school nowadays don't teach them. We use to learn the history of Malaya before they change to Islam. Malay also have Chinese, Arab, English and Portuguese words too.
More to Sanskrit and Tamil only...nvr Hindi
Malay has influences from Sanskrit, Arabic, English, Persian, Tamil, Javanese, Portuguese, Dutch, Hokkien, Minangkabau..
Yeahi find most of the word are similar to malayalam as well since Malayalam and Tamil are similar.

Thanks to the sri Wijayan kingdom for their mass influence from africa to australia, from cambodia to indonesia
Founder Srivijaya kingdom come from South Peninsular, hindunesia cannot accept that fact
@@Kane_2001 Most Indonesia cannot accept it either because they are Javanese, Chindo or communist. The Sri Wijaya Empire was from the Malays Kingdoms. Many kingdoms including the Javanese Kingdoms were under its power. This proves till 1946, when after Indonesia gained its independence they massacred all the Malay royal families and left Javanese royal families intact and hence distorting its histories, and it was done intentionally.
This is set up. The words are actually similar. But they were taught to guess the word correctly
These words are similar to Sinhalese also i think its because of the duch colonies
No. Indians traded with the Malay archipelago 1000s of years ago before the Europeans.
There definitely are similar words in common, in this case: "kotaluwa" (donkey; is it a cognate?), "muddara" (stamp), "loha" (metal), "pingan" (plate/ceramics), "petti" (box), "kade" (shop), "kovil" (Hindu temple), "manika/manike" (precious), "achchu" (mold), "toppiya" (hat), "thira" (as in thira-redi; curtain). But I imagine these Sinhala words are either Sanskrit-derived or loanwords from Tamil

Good one. Tamil is the oldest language if not the first language. Many words spilled to other languages is my humble opinion. Good show.
Not really Tamil; it was Sanskit that gave those words to the Malay Archipelego...centuries ago. Sanskit was to Nusantara as Latin was to Europe...language for learning.
@@aishahembi4709 I somehow disagree. Tamil is the oldest one and Sanskrit came much later.

Tamil is a LANGUAGE. Malay is a collection of copied words. Tamil has its own script, Malay doesn't. Wonder why people even speak Malay.
so many languages don't develop their own scripts, most SEA countries writings system are adopted from Brahmin Scripts...all writings system in India are non-original too, adopted from Brahmin Script including Tamil. All languages have laon words which you seem clueless, dumb and ignorant about it, it's just a bunch of Tamil words are being laoned, not all the aspects of lexicals and grammaticals 😂
There are only 5 original writings system in this world whixh developed independently, Egyptian Hieroglyph, Sumerian Cuneiform, Chinese Logograph, Mayan/Olmec Script and Indus Pictograph..
Even English doesn't have it's own script, it's used Latin script, adopted from Etruscan, Etruscan Adopted from Greek, Greek copied Phonecian, Phoenecian adapted Egyptian Hieroglyphs..
LMAO, get real, must thought English the language u lick its dick every day has it's own script.
