Malay is the national language of Malaysia and Brunei and one of Singapore's official languages. It is closely related to Indonesian, and Malaysia's growing digital economy makes it a valuable voice market in Southeast Asia.
Supporting Malay lets you serve customers across Malaysia and Brunei, Singapore's Malay community, and Malay speakers in southern Thailand, without building a separate product for each market.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Malay speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases

CCaaS →Let Malay speakers talk to your product the way they'd talk to a person, with no language menu and no awkward pauses.
Voice agents →Malaysian animation like Upin & Ipin has found a big audience in Indonesia, and Malay creators need subtitles to reach viewers across the region.
Media →Supported languages
