Historical distribution of the Malayic languages in Maritime Southeast Asia (including Malay-based creoles):
The Ibanic and Western Malayic Dayak (Kanayatn/Kendayan-Salako) subgroups, also known collectively as "Malayic Dayak".
Other Malayic varieties; genetic relationships between them are still unclear.
The Malayic languages are a branch of the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian language family.[1] The most prominent member is Malay, a pluricentric language given national status in Brunei and Singapore while also the basis for national standards Malaysian in Malaysia and Indonesian in Indonesia.[2][3] The Malayic branch also includes local languages spoken by ethnic Malays (e.g. Jambi Malay, Kedah Malay), further several languages spoken by various other ethnic groups of Sumatra, Indonesia (e.g. Minangkabau) and Borneo (e.g. Banjarese, Iban) even as far as Urak Lawoi in the southwestern coast of Thailand.
The most probable candidate for the urheimat of the Malayic languages is western Borneo prior to spread in Sumatra.[4]
