Extract

The presence of Sanskrit loanwords in Malay was noted at least as far back as the time of Sir William Jones (Asiatick Researches, III, 11, 12), and lists of them have been compiled, showing how they include not only abstract terms like those that need the conception of time or price or profit, but terms of relationship, names for parts of the body, names for utensils and articles of commerce, and many court terms of honorific import.
