The Malayic languages are a branch of the Sunda-Sulawesi languages of the Austronesian family. They include Malay, the national language of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei; Minangkabau in central Sumatra; and Iban in northern Borneo. It is thought that the homeland of the Malayic languages is in western Borneo, where the Ibanic languages remain. Then Malayan branch represents a secondary dispersal, probably from central Sumatra but possibly also from Borneo.

  • The Malayic languages are a branch of the Sunda-Sulawesi languages of the Austronesian family. They include Malay, the national language of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei; Minangkabau in central Sumatra; and Iban in northern Borneo. It is thought that the homeland of the Malayic languages is in western Borneo, where the Ibanic languages remain. Then Malayan branch represents a secondary dispersal, probably from central Sumatra but possibly also from Borneo. For some time there was confusion as to the placement of various languages called Dayak; it is now apparent that some of these are Malayic and some are not. The Malayic Dayak languages include Iban; the term Ibanic sometimes applies to the whole or sometimes to a smaller group of Sea Dayak peoples, or Ibanic proper. Other Dayak languages, called Land Dayak, are found in the northwest corner of Kalimantan, between Ibanic and Malayan.
  • Les langues malaïques (en anglais, Malayic) forment un groupe dans la branche malayo-polynésienne des langues austronésiennes. Au nombre de 53, elles sont ainsi nommées d'après le malais, qui constitue le sous-groupe le plus important. Elles se répartissent entre les 3 sous-groupes suivants : Ibanique : 6 langues, parlées dans le nord de l'île de Bornéo, Kendayan : 2 langues, également parlées à Bornéo, Malais : 45 langues, parlées à Sumatra, dans la péninsule malaise et à Bornéo. Auparavant, les sous-groupe ibanique, le kendayan et le keninjal étaient réunis, avec d'autres langues, dans un ensemble appelé "malaïque-dayak". Le caractère relativement archaïque des langues ibaniques et kendayan laisse penser que le berceau des langues malaïques pourrait se trouver à Bornéo.
