Proto-Malayic language

Proto-Malayic is a reconstructed proto-language of the Malayic languages, which are nowadays widespread throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei in Maritime Southeast Asia but excluding the Philippines and Northern Sulawesi, home to the Philippine languages. Like most other proto-languages, Proto-Malayic was not attested in any prior written work. The most extensive study on the proto-language, Proto-Malayic: The Reconstruction of its Phonology and Parts of its Lexicon and Morphology, was done by K. Alexander Adelaar in 1992.
