Malay

This page offers basic guidance on typesetting a LaTeX document in the Malay language using the Latin script.

Support with the traditional way (ldf)

The Malay language is supported in babel in the ‘classical’ way based on a ldf file. See babel-malay for further details.

Support with ini locale file

Here is a minimal sample file with malay as the main language, with luatex.

\documentclass[malay]{article}

\usepackage[provide=*]{babel}

\begin{document}

Local name $=$ Melayu

Chapter $=$ \chaptername

Today $=$ \today

\end{document}
