| Sri Lanka Malay (SLM) is a restructured vernacular of Malay base spoken by at least five different communities in Sri Lanka which has evolved to be significantly divergent from other varieties of Malay due to intimate contact with the dominant languages of Sinhala and Tamil. The Malays in Sri Lanka, whose ancestry include laborers brought by the Dutch and British, as well as soldiers in the Dutch garrison, now constitute 0.3% of the population, numbering some 46,000. (See Ansaldo 2005, 2006, for more on sociohistorical aspects of SLM.) | ||

Having worked in a high position at the local bank, he was able to buy a comfortable house in Katugasthota where he lives now after his retirement. He is one of the few Malays who own a car and enjoys showing the island and Malay settlements to visitors.. | ||
