Arabic scriptThe Arabic script is the writing system used for Arabic and several other languages of Asia and Africa. It is the second-most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world (after the Latin alphabet), the second-most widely used writing system in the world by number of countries using it or a script directly derived from it, and the third-most by number of users (after the Latin and Chinese scripts). The script was first used to write texts in Arabic, most notably the Quran, the holy book of Islam.
Malais (peuple)On appelle Malais (orang Melayu) les populations de la côte est de l'île indonésienne de Sumatra, des îles Riau, également indonésiennes, du littoral de l'île de Bornéo, de la péninsule Malaise, de Singapour et du sud de la Thaïlande (provinces de Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat et Songkhla) qui parlent des langues appartenant au groupe linguistique dit « malais ». Toutefois, le fait de parler une langue appartenant à ce groupe linguistique ne suffit pas à caractériser un Malais.
