Opinions of the Press.
These objects appear to us to have been successfully attained. The work is a most scholarly production, which does Mr. SWETTENHAM the highest credit, and must have cost him much time and labour, and it cannot fail to prove a most useful vade-mecum to the student and the business man who wishes to obtain an accurate knowledge of the Malay language, its idiom, pronunciation, and written character. When Part II is published, the complete work will enable any one to learn how to speak and write Malay accurately without help or reference to any other work, such as MARSDEN's Dictionary, now out of print and difficult to get, or CRAWFURD's Grammar and Dictionary, now also more or less out of date and which does not give the Malay character. Singapore Daily Times, 1 8th April, 1881.
When we say that the work does credit to his reputation as a Malay scholar and reflects highly on his abilities as an author and an industrious civilian official, we give him but faint praise. There is such small encouragement for a man in the Far East to devote his time to a work of the description referred to above, that we wonder Mr. SWETTENHAM ever attempted to start it. He has, however, done so and deserves every credit for his industry. Penang Gazette, pth May, 1881.*
At a time when so many of our planters are going eastward, the publication of Mr. Swettenham's book is most opportune, and the second volume, which is to contain the Malay-English Vocabulary, will complete a most excellent work. Ceylon Observer, yth September, 1887.
As the author very truly remarks in his preface, a work has long been wanted which will enable a new arrival in the Straits Settlements to easily acquire the knowledge of Malay requisite to make himself under- stood by those natives with whom he is brought in contact. Mr. SWET- TENHAM has endeavoured to supply this want in the book just published, and his efforts have resulted in the production of a handy volume which may be relied on. The book deserves to be patronised, and doubtless will be. London and China Express, 3rd June, /88i, —
There was certainly room for Mr. SWETTENHAM's English and Malay Vocabulary and Dialogues, in which his objects have been, amongst other things, to compile a vocabulary which shall contain every word likely to be met with in ordinary reading, writing, or conversation, and "to express in the Romanised Malay, as nearly as possible, the exact pronunciation of the Malay word." This is, perhaps, about as difficult a task as a person can set himself with any language, and, for reasons which will be obvious to all who read Mr. Swettenham's preface, it must be especially difficult in the case of Malay. Mr. SWETTENHAM has certainly spared no pains to attain his object. It would be interesting to discover how near a careful student of his work could get to the accurate pronunciation of Malay.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. -:o:~ In republishing this English-Malay Vocabulary, now for some time out of print, I have endeavoured to correct the errors of orthography and tonal marking which had crept into the first Edition. At the same time, I have taken the opportunity of adding to the Vocabulary and carrying out certain suggestions made by those who were kind enough to send me their friendly criticisms. In this respect, I am chiefly indebted to the late Mr. WlTTl of the British North Borneo Company. F. A. S. PRAK, 24th July, 1883. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. The want of a Malay-English and English-Malay Vocabulary, has, I believe, been felt by many besides myself. All who live in the Straits Settlements recognise the necessity of acquiring some knowledge of Malay, and they are divided naturally into two classes—students who wish to attain to the great majority who a considerable proficiency ; and only seek a knowledge of Malay sufficient to enable them to hold a con- versation with their clients or their servants. For the student, there is, though now difficult to procure, MARSDEN's Dictionary—an excellent work, but its author, having derived most of his information from Malays of Sumatra, gives sometimes a pronunciation, and sometimes a rendering of a Malay word, quite opposed to that in use in the Straits or the Malay Peninsula. Again, to use the best part of Marsden's Dictionary, an acquaintance with the Arabic character is absolutely necessary, and this fact closes the book to all for a time. The casual learner probably never even attempts to consult a Dictionary which needs a considerable preliminary study to enable him to use it, and, giving up in despair the works which, under the title of Malay Grammars, have at various times appeared to harass— I might fairly say, mislead him—he looks for a book in which he can, without effort, find the English word he seeks and its equivalent in Malay, or vice versa. The wishes of beginners do not, as a rule, soar beyond the modest dimensions of a Vocabulary, and as I believe much instruction may be obtained from such a book, provided it be accurate and complete, I have endeavoured to supply their wants in the present work. The above explains the raison d'etre of this book, and a very few words will tell what it offers, and with what special object. The present volume contains a Vocabulary of over 5,500 English words, with Romanised Malay and Malay equivalents alphabetically arranged ; I mean, arranged in accordance with the ordinary sequence of letters in the English alphabet—an arrangement of letters common to European nations and but little altered from the Arabic alphabet. Some directions for the writing of Malay letters then follow, which may be found useful to those who are brought into near contact with Malays. Lastly, there are twenty-one short chapters of Dialogues, written at different times during the last four years, but chiefly on journeys in the •Native States, given as specimens of Malay as it is spoken by the Malays. A careful study of these sentences wr ill, I believe, with constant intercourse with Malays, do more than any grammatical instructions to give a learner facility in expressing himself in this most ungrammatical but most idio- matic language. VI A Vocabulary of Romanised Malay, Malay and English words, which it was my original intention to give with this volume, I have determined to publish separately, chiefly to avoid making the book unwieldly, but also because there may be some who do not care to have both parts of the Vocabulary. So much for the construction. The objects I have aimed at are these: (i.) To compile a Vocabulary which should contain every word likely to be met with in ordinary reading, writing, or conversation ; and whilst giving the same word over again under a common synonym, to avoid repeating it several times as the equivalent of several synonymous but rarely used words. (2.) To give the Malay equivalents in the Malay (Arabic) character, accurately spelt, as an assistance to scholars and a means of producing correct writing and spelling in Malay composition ; and also by placing the Malay word in the Vernacular alongside the English and Romanised Malay equivalent, to accustom the eye to the appearance and spelling of the word, so that when met with in a Malay writing it becomes easily recognisable, and when introduced into composition it will be accurately spelt. (3.) But chiefly to express in the Romanised Malay, as nearly as possible, the exact pronunciation of the Malay word. This is a point which I regard as of the utmost importance. The accent with which a language is spoken^ is, in all cases, a crucial test of excellence. An accurate pronunciation and use of a few words is better than the fluent utterance of many ill-pronounced and ill-arranged sentences. Some time ago, I was privileged to listen to a discussion on the question of the Malay language by a party including several of the oldest residents of Singapore, and I was surprised to hear it stated, and apparently accepted as undeniable, that a man might have resided twenty years in this Colony and know Malay very well, but it was not to be expected that he would understand the conversation of a couple of Malays who were not talking for his especial benefit. Without attempting to dispute the statement, it was alleged in explanation that the language usually spoken by Europeans in the Colony, and called by courtesy Malay, is rather a mixture of English, Portuguese, Tamil, Hindustani, Chinese, and some others, with a substratum of Malay to work upon, and that even this patois is but imperfectly known to those who use it, when any but the commonest words are introduced into a conversation. That is a very fair ^ statement of the case, but I would add to the indictment, that every Malay, when introduced to a white face, takes it for granted that the stranger's knowledge of Malay is very halting and very imperfect, and will try always, through politeness, to talk clown to the standard of his white friends. So a Malay, when surrounded by his European acquaintances, will speak a dialect which bears the same relation to Malay that " Pidgin English " does to our every day conversation. But above all, and more than all, the really good Malay words that vn are known to and spoken by almost every European after a few months* residence in the Colony are so mispronounced that they become difficult to recognise, and it is this neglect to care for the fine differences of intonation which mark (sometimes the only mark between words of identical spelling but of wholly different meaning) Malay words, that renders it so difficult and almost impossible for a European, accustomed for years to talk to Chinese, Boyanese, Tamils, Javanese, Bugis, and others, in a language as foreign to them as it is to him, to understand a conversation between two pure Malays who have not a familiar acquaint- ance wr ith the "Vulgar Tongue" of the Straits Settlements. The Peninsula, until so lately a terra incognita to us, is nowT however becoming the scene of considerable agricultural and other operations worked with the resources and under the guidance of Europeans. We may, therefore, hope that, as a better knowledge of the Malay spoken by Malays becomes necessary, there will arise an increased desire to attain it. As a means to this end, I have given special care to the orthography of the Romanised Malay words in this Vocabulary, and I invite the special attention of those who would use this book to the directions for pro- nunciation. In such a matter I could not rely on my own authority for the exact pronunciation of many words which are only heard when one is thrown constantly amongst Malays, and which are not likely to be caught by the ear without care, nor retained for any length of time. I, therefore, sought the assistance of one whose authority may, I believe, be accepted with great safety, and the spelling and tonal marks on every word in the Vocabulary were only fixed upon after consultation with him and when his opinion decided me that my own preconceived ideas were right or wrong, as the case might be. I offer the pronunciation of these words on the authority of MAHOMED Syed, the Government Munshi, one of the very few natives remaining in the Colony or the Malay Peninsula, on whom students can rely for a valuable opinion in matters of Malay language or literature. The object of the Dialogues, I have already explained. The expres- sions are those of common every day use, translated for the most part from Malay into English. Some of the conversations, such as those with the Cook, Gardener, Syce, &c, are for the help of persons living in the Colony, and would naturally be held with Chinese or Tamils, Javanese and Boyanese. Others, such as the dialogues on a River, in the Jungle, during Disturbances, &c, may prove of use to those whose duties or pleasures take them into the Malay States. I regret that, owT ing to the difficulties of printing, this wr ork being set aside when any more pressing business occupied the attention of the Printing Office, and from want of type (every eight or ten successive pages having to be at once printed off without proper comparison and correction), many slight inaccuracies of spelling and tonal marking have crept into the Romanised Malay of these Dialogues. Wherever there is any doubt as to the pronunciation of a wT ord, the Vocabulary should be consulted, and, if there be a difference, abide by the Vocabulary. vm The Malay ^English, which will form a separate volume, has been prepared to give to those who have no knowledge of the Malay character, or inclination to learn it, a ready means of ascertaining the meaning of any unknown Malay word they may hear in conversation or meet with in manuscript. It has been my endeavour to ascertain the true meaning of the Malay, and to avoid, as far as possible, the perpetuation of mistaken renderings. I have also refrained from offering a manufactured Malay equivalent for an English word representing a new idea to the Malay mind, unless that equivalent is well understood and recognised by the Malays themselves. My obligations to Mahomed Syed will be understood from the statement I have already made. I have had the very greatest assistance from Mr. NORONHA, the Superintendent of the Government Printing Establishment, but my best thanks are due to the Government for permit- ting the book to be printed in its office whenever there was leisure for such work. Without that permission it is improbable that I should ever have completed a task which, while of great interest to me, has not been concluded without considerable labour. I trust the outcome may prove of some utility. F. A. S. Singapore, 28th March, 1887. IX INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PRONUNCIATION OF MALAY WORDS WRITTEN IN THE ROMAN CHARACTER. (l With regard to the mode of orthography adopted in expressing the words of the language in our characters, two considerations present themselves : the one, that of conveying as nearly as possible their true sound; and the other, of paying the requisite attention to the powers of the several letters made use of in the original. * * * * * It has been my design to avoid a pertinaceous adherence to either mode. I have followed as closely the literal orthography of the original as could be done consistently with a fair expression of the sound, and where these could not be reconciled, I have given a preference to the latter consideration, because it appeared of more importance that the word should be rightly pronounced by those who cannot read the Malayan character, than that the more learned scholar should be gratified by a literal accuracy to him not absolutely necessary. Frequently indeed I have been induced to repeat the spelling with some variation in order to convey a juster idea of the pronunciation/'—MARSDEN. Vowels. The Vowels a 9 e 9 i 9 o9 u 9 are pronounced as in Italian. The circumflex accent a or the short mark ^ when placed over any of these vowels, will lenghten or shorten it. These tonal marks do not always represent a long or short vowel in the Malay spelling, but are given to shew the quantities of the various syllables of a word in pronunciation. Pronounce a as the a in soprano, or the vowel sound in farm; example Barang, Mabok. Pronounce a as the vowel sound in the English word some; example Sampei, Rangka. Pronounce a as the vowel sound in the English word cup ; example Krap, Panat. Never give the sound of a in the English word man, to any Malay word. like a Pronounce e the sound of ay in the English word lay; example Elok,-Hemat. Pronounce e like the sound of e in the English word ten; example Hengga, Pakien, Pengsan. Pronounce e as short as possible, like the sound of re in the English word retire; example Mnang, Tpi. The sound is so short that many persons have advocated its expression by a simple apostrophe, thus, M'nang, but I prefer the e. Pronounce i long as the ee in sleek; example Lihat, Pfleh, Pronounce / as in the preceding without laying quite so much stress upon it, as Bini, Biji. At the end of a word, when followed by a consonant, the sound of the i is shorter, like the sound of 2' in the English word tin; example Lilin, Langit, Masjid. Pronounce 1 very short, as in the case of the e, only with the sound of i in gill ; example JilTd, LTlah, Firdaus. The use of this tone is rare. Pronounce 6 as the vowel sound in the English ,5*0; example Dosa, 6 rang. Pronounce as the in English; example Choreng. The pronunciation of really depends on what follows it. Thus followed by n is pronounced like the English on, and alone has the sound of in so, thus Chonto'. Again, followed by r is pronounced, like English or, thus Undor; whilst before ng is pronounced more like the in the Dutch Jongkheer than in the English long, as Longgr, Gunong. is very seldom met with, it should be pronounced with the vowel sound of English knob ; example Pukol, Dosta. Pronounce ii like the vowel sound in the English two; example Gunong, Luka. Pronounce it rather shorter than the above, but with the same sound; as Takut, Muntah. u has the vowel sound of the English word took; example Mulia, Dunia. The sound is rare in Malay, but met with in Arabic words. Never pronounce u when met with in a Malay word like the u in but. In words which have no vowel marks, pronounce all the syllables evenly, laying no marked stress on any; example Kumpulan, Guntingkan, Banding. Generally speaking, in dissyllables the accent is on the first syllable, and in polysyllables on the penultimate. DlPTHONGS. Pronounce ae, ai, or ei, when met with, with the sound given by repeating these vowels one after the other, as above instructed ; example Shar, Smai, Sungei. au has the sound of ow in the English now ; example Pulau. Consonants. As regards Consonants it is only necessary to say that ng is always pronounced like ng in the English hang and never like ng in the English mangle. This last sound is given in Malay by adding another £*, thus Tanggong. The sound given by Malays to what I have expressed by the letters ang is difficult to find in any English word. The sound of the first syllable of "hungry" is however near it. Never pronounce ang like the same letters in the English hang. g is always hard as in go. The soft sound of g in the English gentle is invariably expressed by/ in Malay, thus Jfnak. Xt ch is always pronounced like the ch in church; and sh like the same letters in shine, —unless where specially instructed to the contrary. kh should be pronounced like ch in Loch, but harder, as Khabar. Whenever a word, or the final syllable of a word of more than one syllable, ends with either h or k, that word or final syllable must be pronounced very short indeed, whatever the vowel which precedes the h or k. When the word ends with h that letter should be slightly sounded, but when it ends with k, the k is almost always silent. Lastly, do not be afraid to pronounce the r in Malay words, it is a peculiarity of the people that they lay much stress on the r in pronuncia- tion. It is difficult for an Englishman to pick up the practice, but it should be attempted. In Kdah, the common people, and indeed the Chiefs, unless talking to strangers, speak with a curious lisp, which avoids the pronunciation of s, r, or I, but whatever may be the local peculiarities of any particular Native State, and they are but few and of slight importance, there is but one language recognised in the Peninsula, and that is Malay, not High Malay (whatever that may mean), or Court Malay, but simply the Malay language proper, and a knowledge of that, if the words be accurately pronounced and used in their true sense, even though the knowledge be but slight, will be as useful in Kdah as in Pahang or Trngg&nu, in Perak or Sri Mnanti, as in Klantan or Patani. Xll TRANSLITERATION. I have bound myself by no rule in this matter. Indeed to transliterate in Roman letters vowels which do not appear at all in the Malay words would be difficult. I have reproduced the Malay consonants by their equivalents in Roman letters in every case. To lay down such a rule with regard to even the vowels which do appear in the Malay, would be unwise, for it would only mislead. To say that ^ should always be reproduced by i, when in Malay it is often pronounced as e or as ei, or to make it a rule thatj shall always be rendered by u } when it is often really pronounced o and an, would be to advocate mispronunciation and misunderstanding, with no countervailing benefit. intelligible it* , i. e. } mnng, cannot be transliterated to any sound, but it is perfectly easy to produce the Malay word, thus Mnang, having already laid down how e and a shall be pronounced. I have rendered the Malay letter c-j by nya to distinguish it from U or Let repeat again, the Romanised Malay words in this ^J. me Vocabulary are not, and are not intended to be, transliterations of Malay words, but, guided by the instructions already laid down, they are intended to represent the Malay words as pronounced in the Malay language, while the Arabic characters shew the correct spelling in the Malay vernacular. Hamzah .(*). — In Arabic words, where two Alifs would come together, the second is omitted, and Hamzah inserted in its place. In Malay words, the Hamzah is usually found at the end of a word, and gives the vowel which precedes it a short sound very much as though the Hamzah wr ere the final k. Xlll /VLalay Alphabet.

Formation of Substantives. Affixing " an " is a common method of forming a substantive from the radical in Malay, and it may be taken as a rule that the accent will, as 'in the case of Jabat-an, be moved, the penultimate in the substantive becoming long, thus: Jab at, Jabatan; Kasih, Kasihan; Puter, Putaran; Pichah, Pichahan. In conversation it often happens that this long penultimate is pronounced short, as Kasihan instead of Kasihan, which is the really correct form, while Pichahan and not Pichahan is almost universal. For pronunciation, the safest rule is to put the accent on the first syllable in dissyllables, and on the penultimate in polysyllables, though many exceptions will be met with, such as Tlor, Mrak, Pning, Skder, Kabaktian, Pipiskan, &c, where nothing but practice will teach accurate pronunciation. Another perhaps more common way of forming a substantive from the radical is to prefix " Ka," either alone as in Ka-handak, inclination, " or by far more frequently accompanied by the affix an," thus : Putus, Ka-putus-an (also pronounced Kaputusan or Kaputusan) ; Tumboh, Ka- tumboh-an (always pronounced with the accent equally placed through- out, or with a slight stress on the antipenultimate). Here again it will be seen how impossible it is to lay down a hard and fast rule, but when the radical is not itself the substantive, the latter is commonly formed in one of the two ways above described. "Per" is a particle prefix of constant form used in the formation of derivative substantives; it is sometimes abbreviated, especially in con- versation, to " P," as Pe-kerja-an. In the case of Per-angkap the initial t of the radical Tangkap has been dropped for the sake of euphony. Aiak-kan, Per-anak-kan, and Ka-banyak-kan are exceptions to the above rules. Aiak, Anak, and Banyak being the radicals, it might be expected that the substantive, or (as in the case of Ka-banyak-kan) adjective, would, as is usually the case, be formed by affixing "an," and perhaps, in the case of the first two, by prefixing " Per; " but there is no prefix, and "kan" is affixed in preference to "an," apparently for the sake of euphony. Besides the means of forming substantives described above, another common form is where the radical (of whatever part of speech) takes a prefix of "P," "Pern," "Pen," " Peng," or " Pny," sometimes with the affix "an" added and sometimes without, XVI A substantive so formed usually denotes an agent or instrument of the meaning conveyed by the radical. The prefix takes the form of " P " when the radical begins with I) m, or p followed by a consonant, thus : Pe-lubang, pitfall ; Pmarah, passionate; Pe-prang-an, war. When the radical begins with p followed by a vowel, the substantive is formed by dropping the/ and prefixing " Pern/' as: Pukol, Pm-ukol, a mallet; Pandang, Pem-andang-an, sight. If the initial letter of the radical be t, the substantive is formed by dropping the t and prefixing "Pen," thus: Takut, Pn-akut, a coward. Png-tahuan is an exception to this rule. The prefix takes the form of "Pen" before ck, d, and/, as: Pn-churi, a thief; Pn-dapat-an, earnings; Pn-jaja, a pedlar. It appears, however, that when the radical begins with ck, the prefix sometimes takes the form "Pny" and drops the ck as more euphonious, thus: Chuchok, Pny- uchok. The prefix takes the form "Peng" before vowels, and before^ and h, as: Peng-adu-an, a complaint; Png-iring, a suite; Png-usong, a litter; Png-hulu, a chief; Png-gali, a spade. When the radical begins with k, the prefix also takes the form "Peng," dropping the k, thus: Ktam, Png-tam; Kut, Png-ut. If the radical begins with the letter s, the substantive is formed by prefixing "Pny" and dropping the s, as: Sakit, Pny-akit, sickness. Formation of Verbs, &c. - Verbs formed by prefixing the particle " Ber " to the radical, maybe used in either the present, imperfect, or perfect tenses, and there is no alteration in the different persons of the verb, the personal pronoun being sufficient to carry the sense, thus : Dia Ber-bangkit, he gets up, he was getting up, or he got up—the context shewing the tense ; Kita ber-bangkit, we get up, wr e were getting up, or we got up. I do not lay this down as a universal rule, but it is usual. It must not, howr ever, be supposed that the prefix "Ber" can be placed before all radicals and used with the above described significations, for instance: Dia berjalan means he goes, he was going, or he went, according to the context, Jalan being the radical, meaning either a road, or to go, or to walk. But Pergi means also to go, and yet Ber-pergi is most unusual, and Pergi-kan unheard of, whilst Jalan-kan is common and means to cause to go. Jalan-kan bichara, to carry on a case; Jalan-kan perkara, to keep a matter going. Sometimes, again, "Ber" intensifies the radical, as: Budi, sense; Ber-budi, full of sense, sensible. Bulu, hair, feathers ; Ber-bulu, cover- ed wr ith hair or feathers, hairy, feathered, shaggy.* Darah, blood; Ber- cfarahj bloody, : XVII "Kan" is an affix which almost invariably gives to a substantive, adjective, or other part of speech which will admit the addition of this particle, the meaning of a transitive verb, thus: Jalan, a road or to walk; jalan-kan, to cause to go on, to carry on. Ranching, a bolt; Kanching- kan; to fasten. Mshhur, famous; Mshhur-kan, to make known, to publish. Kuat, strong; Kuat-kan, to make strong to strengthen. Ampun, pardon or to pardon ; Ampun-kan, to pardon. Atur, arranged or to arrange; Atur-kan, to arrange. Under the letter M, will be found various forms by which the radical, whether it be substantive, adjective, adverb, verb, or other part of speech, is transposed into a transitive or intransitive verb. These forms vary according to the initial letters of the radicals, thus: Langkah, a step, becomes Me-langkah; Bri, to give, becomes Mem-bri, Tandok, a horn, becomes Mn-andok; Kail, to fish, becomes Mng-ail; Apa, what, Mng- apa; Harap, hope, Mng-harap; Titek, a drop, Mn-itek; Sbrang, across, Mny-brang. In the majority of cases, where there is a prefix only, the verb formed is intransitive, but when besides the prefix the particle "kan" is affixed, the verb then formed is always transitive, as Mn-jrat-kan, to snare. I, When the radical begins with m } n, nya (^), or r, the prefix which forms the verb is always "M," as: Langkah, M-langkah; Masok, M- masok-kan; Nanti, Me-nanti; Rupa, Me-rupa-kan; Nyanyi, Me-nyanyi. When the radical begins with the letter b, the particle prefix takes the form of " Mem " as " Mm-bacha," to read. When the radical begins with the letter/, the particle prefix takes the form of " Mem " and drops the/ for the sake of euphony, as: Prentah, Mm-rentah; Puji, Mm-uji. When t is the initial letter of the radical, the particle prefix takes the form of " Men " and drops the t for the sake of euphony, as: Taroh, Mn- aroh. When the initial letter of the radical is ch, d, or j, the verb is formed by prefixing the particle "Men" without other alteration, as Chabut, Mn-chabut; Dapat, Mn-dapat; Jadi, Mn-jadi. Meny-uchi-kan and Mny-ungkil are exceptions to this rule. Where the radical begins with a vowe/, h } or g, the particle prefix takes the form of " Mng " without other alteration, thus: Adu, Mng- adu; Isap, Mng-isap; Ubong, Mng-ubong; Hrut, Mng-hrut; Ganti, Mng-ganti. The h is however sometimes omitted in the words like "Hilang" where it can either be pronounced or not, both being equally right Where the initial letter of the radical is k, the verb is formed by prefixing the particle " Mng" and dropping the k for the sake of euphony, as: Kosot, Meng-osot. If the radical begins with the letters tr, then the particle prefix takes the form "Men," whilst the t is dropped for the sake of euphony, as Trang, Mn-rang-kan. xvm If the radical begins with the letter s, the prefix changes the s into " " Mny +* thus : S&bong, Mny-abong; Smbah, Mny-mbah; Susu, Meny-usu-i. " Ter " y" isa constant particle always met with in composition, and always as a prefix. When placed before a verb, it gives the signification of a past participle, as: Ter-btiaiig, thrown away; Ter-atur, arranged; Ter-bilang, counted; &c. When prefixed to an adjective, it adds emphasis and intensifies the meaning, and in conjunction with "Skali" denotes the superlative degree, thus ; Ter-balik, overturned; Ter-bunoh, murdered; Ter-lampau, excessive; Ter-lbih skali, most; Ter-lbih baik skali, best. "Sahya" is the word most commonly used by Europeans to express the first personal pronoun, whilst "you" is best rendered politely by "Tuan/' The Malays commonly use "Aku" for "I," and "Tuan," "Angkau," or "Awak" (if familiar) for "you." "Angkau," is also often rendered by " Kau," or, in Province Wellesley and Kedah, by " Hang," and is generally used in speaking to servants or the lower classes. In Prak, 4 T" and "you" are familiarly rendered by "Teman" and "Mika." In writing, "Beta" or "Kita" represents "I," and " Sehabat-bta " or " Shabat-kita," "you." Rajas or persons of rank often speak of themselves as " Kami," and render "you" by "Kamu" or "Angkau" when talking to inferiors. When inferiors address their superiors, and wish to make a point of the distinction, they speak of themselves as "Hamba Tuan," your slave; this is common also in writing from an inferior to his superior. "Patek" is the commonest form of expressing the pronoun of the first person when used by an inferior to a Raja, or between Rajas when the younger wishes to shew respect to the elder or superior in orfice. The English definite article "the" has no real equivalent in Malay. Bring the child, is translated Bawa anak; Bring that child, Bawa anak itu; Bring a child, Bawa satu &nak. In some cases, "the" is rendered by "yang," as: Bring another, Bawa lain, or Bawa lagi satu; Bring the other, Bawa yang lain itu; The latter, Yang kmdian; The former, Yang dulu; and so on. The word "Sudan" is much used by the Malays. It will with a verb, always express the past tense: Sudah mati, dead; Sudan jalan, gone; &c. When used alone, it will mean, That will do. If used interrogatively, as Sudah? or Sudahkah? it has the meaning, Have you done? Is it finished? Is it ready?—according to the context. Whilst in such a sentence as Sudahlah kfta ini, it would mean, Now, we're done for. XIX The constant use of " Punya" to indicate the possessive is inelegant and unusual. The best and commonest form of expressing the possessive is by placing the pronoun after the substantive, as Rurnah dia, His or her house. The indiscriminate use of the intensifying particle " Lah " (a!) should be avoided. The particle " Tah " (u) is in all respects similar to "Lah," but not nearly so common. "Sangat/—very, extremely—is placed either before or after the adjective, but usually the latter. "Trlalu" and "Trlampau" are placed before the adjective, and "Skali" after it. "Maka" (dU) is used in writing only, and marks the beginning of a new sentence. The word " Anak" is applied to the young of all birds, beasts, or fishes: Anak gajah, a young elephant; Anak anjing, a puppy; Anak burong, a young bird; Anak lkan, a young fish. Malays speak of so many nights where we say days, thus they would say: " He will be away three nights/' meaning three nights and two days. XX Days of the Week, Sunday Hari ahad wte^l <& I» Monday Hari ithnain Tuesday Hari thalatha* f Hari rabu Wednesday \ Hari arbaa f Hari khamis Thursday Friday Hari jmaat vs; Saturday Hari sabtu sa> I* Sunday is also called "Hari m^ggo" in the Straits Settlements, from the Portuguese " Domingo, " and the other days of the week are known as : —Monday, " Hari satu ;" Tuesday, " Hari dua," and so on. One week, in the same way, is called " Situ minggo," but the Malays call it " Satu jemaat" or "Tujoh hari"— seven days. * " " The Arabic form ; the Malay pronunciation Salasa is commoner, f The Arabic form.

Of cotton "sarongs," the most valued come from the Celebes and are known as " Kain Sarong Bugis." Java produces the painted cotton sarongs so much admired by Malays ; they are called •' Kain Batek." A commoner sort of cotton sarong is the " Sarong Plekat " of the Coromandel Coast. Of silk sarongs, some of the finest are the "Kain Mastoli" of Singapore," Kain Sangkit 1 ' (silk and gold thread) of Peimng and Borneo, and the sarongs of Palembang, Batu Bara and Mentoh in Sumatra. On the East coast of the Peninsula, Trengganu, Pahang, and Kelantan produce a large number of silk sarongs, and scarfs. If the sarong is in one piece, it is called " Sa'lerang ; " but if it has to be joined in its length, it is called "Beikampob," and is not so much valued as the " Knin Sa'lerang." *' If the colours of the fabric are dyed fast, it is called "Malau Kopi ; if the dye is indiffer- ent, *' Malau Lechi."

The Courtiers—(The Pen, Ink, and Paper*) " The Pen declared : I am the R&ja ; all writers set great store by me ; my merit is so great that it cannot be estimated " all Governments laud my valuable services. " The Ink answered, and said : Why do you, Pen, boast of yourself, if I did not run after you, nothing you do would ever be seen." Then the Paper: "Were it not for me you would have no- thing to run upon, and neither of you would ever be visible." The Author: the Pen is first without doubt, the Ink and Paper are his assistants. But if any one of the trio be left out, the labour of the others is vain. These three —the Pen, Ink, and Paper—are blessings when acting together; if they are of one mind, they will produce something of value. The earth is their inheritance, both the good and the evil of it what is written cannot be recalled. If you believe it not, search and you will find this maxim is proved in all the books that have been written in past ages. Part II. ENGLISH-MALAY DIALOGUES. —— 1 CONTENTS. Page. I.
