City of Armadale
The City of Armadale is a local government area in the south-eastern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, about 28 kilometres (17.4 mi) southeast of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 560 square kilometres (216 sq mi), much of which is state forest rising into the Darling Scarp to the east, and had a population of almost 80,000 as at the 2016 Census.
City of Armadale History
Prior to European settlement, the area now known as the City of Armadale was part of the land that was occupied by the Aboriginal Noongar people.
Prior to 1894, the area was part of the Canning Road District.

The Malay language, or Bahasa Melayu, is a language spoken by ethnic Malays, an ethnic group that live in the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia, as well as the Austronesian people of the area.
The Malay language is the national language of Malaysia (Malaysian), Brunei, Indonesia (Indonesian), an official language in Singapore, a working language in East Timor (Indonesian), and a recognized and significant minority in Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Cambodia.
Standard Malay, also called Court Malay, was the literary standard of the pre-colonial Malacca and Johor Sultanates, and so the language is sometimes called Malacca, Johor or Riau Malay (or various combinations of those names) to distinguish it from the various other Malayan languages. According to Ethnologue 16, several of the Malayan varieties they currently list as separate languages, including the Orang Asli varieties of Peninsular Malay, are so closely related to standard Malay that they may prove to be dialects. There are also several Malay trade and creole languages which are based on a lingua franca derived from Classical Malay as well as Macassar Malay, which appears to be a mixed language.
Malay is a member of the Austronesian family of languages, which includes languages from Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean, with a smaller number in continental Asia. Malagasy, a geographic outlier spoken in Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, is also a member of this language family. Although these languages are not necessarily mutually intelligible to any extent, their similarities are rather striking. Many roots have come virtually unchanged from their common ancestor, Proto-Austronesian language. There are many cognates found in the languages' words for kinship, health, body parts and common animals. Numbers, especially, show remarkable similarities.
Within Austronesian, Malay is part of a cluster of numerous closely related forms of speech known as the Malayic languages, which were spread across Malaya and the Indonesian archipelago by Malay traders from Sumatra. There is disagreement as to which varieties of speech popularly called "Malay" should be considered dialects of this language, and which should be classified as distinct Malay languages. The vernacular of Brunei—Brunei Malay—for example, is not readily intelligible with the standard language, and the same is true with some lects on the Malay Peninsula such as Kedah Malay. However, both Brunei and Kedah are quite close.
The closest relatives of the Malay languages are those left behind on Sumatra, such as the Minangkabau language, with 5.5 million speakers on the west coast.

Malay Document Translation
Standard Malay varies between Malaysia (Bahasa Malaysia), Brunei, and Singapore, each maintaining distinct official terminology and document conventions. Malaysian government documents follow Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka standards, while Brunei and Singapore have their own administrative vocabularies. The language is mutually intelligible with Indonesian but uses different official terminology.
Malay Document Types
Key Malay civil documents include sijil kelahiran (birth certificate), sijil perkahwinan (marriage certificate), and sijil peperiksaan (examination certificate).
Where Malay Is Official
Malay is the official language of Malaysia, Brunei, and one of four official languages of Singapore. Within Malaysia, each of the thirteen states and three federal territories issues documents with state-specific headers, crests, and formatting conventions. Federal and state document standards can differ.
Modern Malay uses the Latin alphabet (Rumi script). Older documents may use Jawi script (Arabic-based), particularly from religious authorities or pre-independence records. Some Malaysian states still issue Islamic family law documents in Jawi alongside Rumi transliterations.
