MODERN MELAYU LANGUAGE AS WE KNOW NOW IS THE DIRECT RESULT OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. IT HAD SET UP A LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BODY KNOWN OFFICIALLY AS DEWAN BAHASA DAN PUSTAKA (DBP) WAS FORMED TO SEE TO THE NEEDS TO FURTHER MODERNIZE THE LANGUAGE AND MAKE IT MORE PROMINENT AND APPLICABLE IN ALL LEVELS OF SOCIETY AND DISCIPLINES.
THE FINAL AIM IS TO MAKE MELAYU AS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE AND AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE AT THE UNITED NATIONS TOGETHER WITH ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH, CHINESE, JAPANESE AND ARABIC. IN MANY WAYS THE MELAYU LANGUAGE CAN ALREADY BE CONSIDERED AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH ITS USAGE IS NOW WIDESPREAD OUTSIDE THE BORDERS OF THE MELAYU WORLD.
THEREFORE, IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE IN SOME BASIC ARGUMENTS ON SCIENCE AND GENETICS, THEN WE CAN SAFELY SAY THAT THE MELAYU THEN OUGHT TO BE THE MOST BRILLIANT PEOPLE ON EARTH BECAUSE OF THIS INTERMARRIAGE!
This is as opposed to the other races that, mostly, marry only within their own racial groups, although not necessarily in the same clan as the Chinese used to forbid.
The reason for this was that marriages within the same clans often resulted in offspring who are said to be less intelligent or healthy. The intermarriage between Melayu of the same racial stock, i.e. between the Javanese and Sumatran is what forms the basis for the creation of the Melayu race or Bangsa Melayu that we know of today.
Historically, the Melayu in Malaysia are basically of the Sumatran and Javanese ancestry. Many of these people stayed in Melaka for long periods of time where they married with the local women and produced a new generation of Melayu.
The early history of Melaka saw the creation of the glorious Melayu-Muslim sultanate of Melaka with the founding of Melaka on the banks of the Bertam River. This was renamed Melaka River by Parameswara when he founded the state in 1400 CE or 802 AH or 4098 of the Chinese calendar.
He was a colorful renegade and an exile prince from Palembang in Sumatra called Parameswara. It had ‘produced’ a new stock of people called simply as the Melayu, although they could be officially considered to be Melakans.
Many people and adventurers and traders from all parts of Southeast Asia were attracted to the newly created city-state called Melaka. It was the name of the tree, which Parameswara had sat under.
They came in droves from all over the Southeast Asian region to seek a livelihood without realizing that they were the early mothers and fathers of the modern Melayu race and promoter of the Melayu language.
And by the time, Melaka fell in the hands of the Portuguese in 1511 CE or 917 AH or 4209 of the Chinese calendar, thousands of the new generation of Melayu had been created. They had features and intellect and creativity that their parents and grandparents didn’t have.
And this new generation of Melayu all has ancestors of all the races of people whom had visited and lived in Melaka such as the other groups of Melayu in Sumatra, Java, Siamese, Kalimantan, China, India, the Portuguese and Arabs.
No wonder the Melayu face is unique for no two Melayu are alike in shape, form or in the color of their skin and even height! Maybe we Melayu and our non-Melayu friends have this fact or observation taken for granted; but the next time we look at the next Melayu guy or girl we will see that he or she is different from the others.
This is unlike the other dominant world races such as the Chinese, Indians, Japanese or English and Americans all of whom basically look similar and are quite homogeneous.
Therefore, the Melayu as we know today must truly be the most unique in the world in this regard, that they have many different strains of genes of the other dominant races to form a totally new Melayu racial stock.
Therefore, theoretically, the Melayu can be the most brilliant people on earth because of the intermarriage that the people had experienced throughout the history, especially from 1400 CE or 823 AH onwards.
They have the genes from the other races packed into them, from the three major racial stocks – the Negroids, Mongoloids and Caucasoid.
The only thing that the Melayu now need is for them to capture and develop centers in the Melayu and Muslim Worlds so that they can exert their presence even more so their presence can be felt and appreciated.
