The Malay language. Or called "Bahasa Melayu". Sometimes to a certain extent, its called Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysian language). Other Malaysians such as those from Sabah and Sarawak speak their own dialects that have much more similar words so some of the southern Philippine languages. The Tausug people in Malaysia, speak Bahasa Sug, the Tausug language. These people aren't ethnic Malays, but are related to Malays. Malaysian-Indians also speak Hindi and Tamil.
27 million counting Malaysians only, but that's not counting

Indonesian (Indonesians speak Indonesian but the 2 languages

are sister language and are greatly linked together), so counting Indonesian

I would say about 300Million.
