Original language description

This chapter addresses the linguistic variety among the Malayic languages. While theselanguages form a close-knit genetic subgroup, they also show an enormous typological diversityeven within the context of Malayo-Polynesian languages in general. Such diversity can be observed at almost allgrammatical levels, and it is often in direct contrast with the relative transparency of corresponding levels instandard forms of Malay. There is also remarkable variation in the morphological complexity. While many varietiessuch as Salako and Banjar preserved original affixes to a large extent, vehicular Malay and the Kelantan and UluTerengganu varieties have rather reduced morphological inventories. At the level of syntax, voice shows variation,and the systems fall on a cline: varieties such as Besemah have a grammaticalized symmetrical voicesystem. In contrast, languages like Ternate Malay lack a grammaticalized voice system altogether. Thetypological features of Kerinci are very unusual.
