About this Item

1952. 120pp. "When the first edition of this little book was published in 1949, it was called a 'textbook of Indonesian Malay'. Since those days, the Indonesian language has - linguistically speaking - come of age. It is now definitely a language of its own. Thousands of new words between Indonesian and Singapore Malay. To English speaking residents and travellers in Indonesia, textbooks and dictionaries of Singapore Malay are today practically useless or worse: confusing. . This book therefore attempts to present simple Indonesian to the English speaking pupil. It is an adapted and considerably enlarged English edition of 'Popular Maleis', a book originally written for the benefit of Dutch students. The Dutch original is now in its 9th edition." Book in very good condition. Content clean and bright, binding tight. No inscriptions.
