Abstract:

Malay is one of the major languages in the world, but there has been
relatively little detailed research on its phonetics. This Element provides an
overview of existing descriptions of the pronunciation of Standard Malay
before briefly considering the pronunciation of some dialects of Malay. It
then introduces materials that may be used for studying the phonetics of
Malay: a short text, the NWS passage; and a map-task, to generate
conversational data. Based on recordings using these materials by two female
and two male consultants who are academics at Universiti Brunei Darussalam,
the Element next offers an acoustic analysis of the consonants and vowels of
Malay, the syllable structure arising from fast speech processes, as well as
the rhythm and intonation of the Standard Malay that is spoken in Brunei.
Finally, it suggests directions for further research on the phonetics of
Malay.
