LOOK:

This is the original language of the Austronesian language family which is the tongue of all Malay people: it only changed because we Malay brothers sailed to different islands and it changed only slightly when foreign people sail to a certain island and influence the original language, but you can still see the relation:

Proto-Austronesian:
one - isa
two - dusa
three- telu
four - sepat
five - lima
six - enem
seven - pitu
eight - walu
nine - Siwa
ten - sa-puluq

And here is a comparison between your language and mines, with other languages of our brothers

TAGALOG/MADAGASCAR/JAVANESE/MALAYSIAN/TAIWAN YAMI/EASTER ISLAND

one - isa/iráy/siji/satu/asa/tahi
two - dalawa/róa/loro/dua/dowa/rua
three - tatlo/télo/telu/tiga/teylo/toru
four - apat/éfatra/papat/empat/apat/ha
five - lima/dímy/lima/lima/lima/rima
six - anim/énina/nem/enam/anem/ono
seven - pito/fíto/pitu/tujuh/pito/hita
eight - walo/válo/wolu/delapan/wawo/vau
nine - siyam/sívy/sanga/sembilan/siam/iva
ten - sampu/fólo/sepuluh/sepuluh/poh/angahuru

so you see, i can learn your language which is Malaysian very easily and you can learn my language Tagalog, very easily. Even though we are on different islands that are far away, our Malay ancestors still managed to preserve our speech and native Austronesian culture. Again only when foreigners came to our islands did we begin to destroy our bonds. i think we should UNIFY our Malay brotherhood and remember that we are BROTHERS which fits in with this forum as you say Asians need to unite...why don’t we start by uniting the Malay Ethnicity? It takes small steps before you can unify a whole RACE of people.
