Talk:List of English words of Malay origin

message: I had included most words by referring to Concise Oxford Dictionary and Kamus Dewan (that lists the old Malay words from old Malay literatures i.e. launch from lancaran - that entered into English from Spanish; pantoum from pantun - entered into English by French famous poets that are Evariste Parny and by Victor Hugo).
Pantoum is a type of verse quatrain of Malayan origin adapted in French verse and was popularized by 18th-century poet Evariste Parny and by Victor Hugo. The term was used by Ravel to describe 2nd movt. (scherzo) of his pf. trio (1914). Then, it was entered into English especially in United States of America through French literatures. Apart from that, Pantoum also adapted into English literatures by British.
Thanks.

message: I think this article should be merged with this one List of English words of Indonesian origin to decrease duplication of loan word. Aris riyanto (talk) 10:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you: Malay is the general name of this language. And the merger is absolutely necessary. Lele giannoni (talk) 15:50, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

text: Oppose, But agreed to decrease some duplications. The term 'Indonesia' or 'Bahasa Indonesia' are of modern origin, mainly popularised only after British colonisation. List of English Words of Indonesian origin then, should be confined to words to describe 'things Indonesian', after the Indonesia itself exist. Babirusa (1869), Durian (1820), Rambutan (1811), Meranti (1834), Merbau (1849), to name a few, are certainly not 'Indonesian'. If some terms are adopted from one of the Indonesian languages, for example Javanese, then you should have a separate article for that, e.g List of English words of Javanese origin.

message: I would like to correct that the word "salam" is not originated from Malay vocabulary. The reference given in no. 5 is not mentioning that the word is originally Malay word. Plus, the etymology proves that "salam" is an Arabic word. So, I would like to edit it and remove it from the list.
Below is the removed word which was "salam" (which used below URL as the reference):

You should check the reference URL out, above, to understand the removal.
