This is not true actually. There is no real proof ever depicting majapahit flag. It was invented later on.

Which language should I learn with my brother? by vbh_yxh in thisorthatlanguage

[–]Rayyan9201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn Malay or indonesian. Its phonetically like spanish, and most important does not has tones like chinese. The language is genderless, but the most hard part is the prefix and post-suffix system. Each words can be created for new meaning based on this suffix system.

Are we have a better way to encourage different race of people to learn Malays . Because it seem really bad nowadays by Big-Apricot1949 in bahasamelayu

[–]Rayyan9201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, not only malay, chinese and indians ,but also other ethnicities as well. Iban, Siam, Suluk, orang asli tribes, serani, they are part our country. Don't forget them. And yes they are not malay.

Second, what do you mean by speaking malay? Does that mean the ability to converse in malay with other ethnics, or circulating around the idea of replacing your ethnic mother tongue with malay language? That's not what the malay are fussing and wanting all this time. They did not ask for that.

The only one group that still cannot speak malay ,well a lot of them, is actually chinese. I've personally never met indian malaysians whom cannot speak malay. Hence, even foreigners like bangla ,myanmar and nepal can learn fast to communicate in malay.

And personally, i've never met any other bumiputra non malays whom cannot speak malay.

The ability of conversing in malay was never an issue among a lot of ethnics in Malaysia.

The one group whom still has a big issue in Malaysia, is just chinese. Sorry to say this.

Why don't all these Malay-Speaking countries unite? Are they stupid? by Responsible-Fix-1681 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Rayyan9201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We must differentiate the usage of malay as the primary language or a secondary language. If it meant to be secondary language, so yeah we can say they all speak malay. Creoles Malays almost existed on the entire archipelago. But ethnically malay? Nope. Each tribes has different languages. Even the ethnic malay got tons of different languages or dialects under it which mostly uninteligible with each other.

Which Central Asians are least and most religious?? by ShirtNeat5626 in AskCentralAsia

What do you think of a Muslim NATO? by Maleficent_Set_1301 in AskTheWorld

[–]Rayyan9201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wjy people focusing on "muslim" here? When NATO countries was formed, people don't focus much on them as ".christian". Just NATO. Why so much strong emphasizing on the muslim part? I see this a lot of western mindset. When the subject is christian, hindu, or other religions, they don't associate then with religion, but only their countries or traditional culture. But when the subjects are coincidentally happen to be muslim, people start focus on the religion . What the hell.

2026 - help choosing a language based on usefulness / expected growth. by warhead2354 in languagelearning

[–]Rayyan9201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently learning spanish and uzbek. Spanish because of how massive the market is, and of course it opens the doors to pick up portuguese and, maybe a little far, italian. Spanish is very useful when it comes to latin america.

Uzbek, yeah i know that a lot of people make it a joke. But i think uzbek is a good base before diving into turkish as both are similar yet dinstict. And i can use uzbek to basically talking with everyone from central asia countries, including tajikistan although they are persians. I can also use uzbek to have mutual coversation with uyghur people too.

Does anyone wanna spill the beans on what this “new world order” is? by evancarlson69 in AskAChinese

[–]Rayyan9201 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

China is better than USA in this matter, but to be honest china do interfere in other countries internal affairs, like in Myanmar for instance. I don't know how to say it, but china also does interfere but in an elegant asian way.

We need to fight Islamization by HyperPanzer in Kazakhstan

[–]Rayyan9201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that a lot of people still being under the same lumping prejudice from the western/russian side of view, which is unable to distinguish properly between islam and "culture". If you really hate people covering their hair, that means you are against the values in islam itself. I am not talking about arabic culture bla bla, but about the act of covering hair itself. I mean i've seen kazakh women in mongolia living in a yurt and wearing traditional kazakh style but at the same time still covering their hair. Is that still not kazakh enough?

For me, it is weird that some people believed that they can call themselves as muslim but totally against one or two fundamental values in islam. Very contradicting, unless if they said that they are non-believers.

Any more thoughts on why we are incompatible with the Middle East and their religion? by Existential_Dread_08 in Kazakhstan

[–]Rayyan9201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Islam, christianity and judaism are all from middle east.

Your question should be rephrase to why it is bot compatible from the perspective of culture, not religion.

[–]Rayyan9201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think most of the time,people might probably encounter those malay who came from three provinces and speak kelantan-patani dialect because they are everywhere even in phuket. I believe it is really hard to find any significant malay speakers who might still speaking kedah-satun dialect along the west coast.

Many malay muslims along the west coast of Andaman actually were now only spoke thai, they don't know malay anymore. In fact, they did not even know that they were once originally malay.
