Travel Info Is it Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Melayu? Travel Tips Long time ago it was called Bahasa Malaysia. A few years back, Malaysian government decided to call it Bahasa Melayu. There are some reasons behind the decision but it's nothing big. Maybe they want Malaysian start speak to in english as well. Anyway it is still the Malaysia national language. Others Yep, Jedi is correct nowadays it's called Bahasa Melayu, but a lot of people still call it Bahasa Malaysia. It's pretty much the same with the currency, a lot of people still say Dollars when in fact it's Ringgits. Edit: Sere, lol !! Yeah, it is no longer called Bahasa Melayu.
