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.

Answer 2

The national language is Bahasa Malaysia, which is the national form of a language known as "Malay". Other countries that isn't Indonesia, that speak the same dialect call it "Bahasa Melayu" or just "Malay language". Malaysia's government doesn't want Malays to be the ruling class, so they changed the name of the language from "Malay" to "Malaysian", a term more comfortable for the Indians, Chinese, Orang Asli and Oran Alut people living in the country and other non-Malays who speak the language. In Brunei, Malays and Muslims are the ruling class, and the language is called "Malay".

So yes, Bahasa Malaysia it is.
