Semelai language
The Semelai language is a dialect spoken by the Semalai people, a Proto-Malay (Aboriginal Malay) tribal group, one of nineteen orang asli groups of Malaysia. The Semelai reside in the region between Segamat (Johore) and the Pahang River. The Semelai language is an Austro-Asiatic language (now called Aslian language), while other Proto-Malay groups speak Austronesian languages.
