On désigne sous le nom de malais (bahasa Melayu, en écriture jawi بهاس ملايو et en écriture redjang ꤷꥁꤼ ꤸꥍꤾꤿꥈ) un groupe de langues très proches les unes des autres, mais que les linguistes considèrent comme étant des langues distinctes. Ces idiomes sont parlés par la population du littoral oriental et de la partie sud de l'île indonésienne de Sumatra, des îles Riau, également indonésiennes, du littoral de l'île de Bornéo et de la péninsule malaise, la population autochtone de Singapour et celle des provinces de Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat et Songkhla dans le sud de la Thaïlande. Ces populations se désignent elles-mêmes par le terme « Malais ». Cette dispersion du malais a nécessairement suscité un débat sur l'origine de la langue. Le consensus actuel est que le berceau du malais est la partie occidentale de l'île de Bornéo.
