Kualuh Malay
Malayic language spoken in Indonesia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kualuh Malay, also known as North Labuhanbatu Malay, is a variety of Malay used in the southeast right on the east coast of North Sumatra, used as a mother tongue by the Malay community there.[3] It has a clear affinity with Panai Malay to the south and may still interact to a high degree with other east coast Malay varieties.[4] It is mainly used in North Labuhanbatu Regency, the former territory of the historical Malay Sultanate of Kualuh which lasted until 1946, after its destruction due to the East Sumatra revolution. The area of use covers the lower to upper areas of the Kualuh River, where in the Na IX-X district, this language is very influenced by the Batak languages, with its accent being very visible.[5]
