Melayu Brunei (Brunei-Kadaian, Orang Bukit) is the official standardized form of the Malay language used in Brunei. It is also spoken as lingua franca in some parts of East Malaysia such as Federal Territory of Labuan, District of Limbang and Lawas (Sarawak) and District of Sipitang, Beaufort, Kuala Penyu and Papar (Sabah). It is spoken by about 266,000 people.[1] There are calls to expand the use of the language in Brunei.[2] Brunei Malay is quite divergent from standard Malay and the rest of the Malay dialects and is mostly mutually unintelligible. Brunei Malay is the official printed form and is used in all official Brunei government media.
