8058-412: The physical writing slower but it has brought simplification to the learning system. The old spelling systems in Malaysia and Indonesia did not recognise the existence of consonant clusters at the word-initial and word-final positions.

8466-427: The root, the reduplication of the stem of a complex word, and the reduplication of the whole word, be it a simple or complex word.

8568-550: The schwa in final closed syllables, as in the word filem ('film'), also linked to the acceptance of ⟨e⟩ for schwa at the end of the word as in koine which has been taken in toto .

Acceptance of the final schwa does not mean acceptance of something foreign. The pronunciation adopted by

8874-451: The status of a grapheme either in Malaysia or in Indonesia. The common spelling system has given it graphemic status. It is not only simplicity that is indicated in the choice of ⟨c⟩ , but also the end of the confusion arising from ⟨ch⟩ for people reading Malaysian and Indonesian texts. In Malaysia, ⟨ch⟩ stood for the voiceless palato-alveolar affricate /tʃ/ (represented by ⟨c⟩ in

8976-421: The stem so that the word appears as a complete whole. As for the second method, while it observed the morphological rule, it caused difficulty in reading. Speakers, especially non-native ones, were prone to reading the second example above as a total reduplication bermain-bermain which is ungrammatical. Although native speakers, with their native competence, may not read bermain2 as a total reduplication, because

9078-404: The total reduplication of forms falling into this pattern does not occur in the language, there are other patterns where native speakers themselves find difficulty in deciding whether the written word with the character ⟨2⟩ represents total reduplication or only that of the stem.

However, Malay does not have this phoneme in its inventory. Most Malays actualise this sound as

9384-691: The world's first Malay–European dictionary was compiled by Antonio Pigafetta , an Italian companion of Ferdinand Magellan . This was subsequently followed by many other European traders, adventurers, explorers and scholars who invented their own Rumi spelling systems.

The Singaporean government has conserved the Tanjong Pagar railway station building and has integrated it into newer developments on

9792-401: Was given in both countries for people to get used to the new system. In Malaysia this meant that students were not penalised for making mistakes in spelling words according to the old systems. However, a rigorous programme was undertaken by the government's Language and Literacy Agency ( Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka ) to see to the implementation of the new spelling system by giving special classes to

9894-400: Was never implemented or even published. Following the end of Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation in 1966, a common spelling system became among the first items on the agenda of a detente between the two countries.

The writing of the reduplication of the complex word with the character ⟨2⟩ was not neat and consistent. The use of ⟨2⟩ made it possible to write the same word in more than one way.
