Abstract

Arabic spread through Southeast Asia and settled in the hearts of the Malays who embraced Islam and lived with it in their feeling and sensibility, so that it became their preferred new language, a source of pride, and exerted an eloquent influence upon their society as the new language of their new religion. It affected the Malay language in word and in meaning: Malay is written only in the Jawi letters, which are Arabic letters, and remains so to this day, and Arabic came to have a share and an effective role in sermons, lectures, religious lessons, transactions and legal contracts, so that one scarcely hears a lecture without Arabic words running through it. Arabic thus became present across Southeast Asia — in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore and Patani in southern Thailand — and revived in Malaysia after some Arabic words had nearly disappeared, thanks to the Islamic movements and the migration of many Arab teachers working in its universities and schools.
