Aslian languages

Aslian languages are a group of indigenous languages spoken by the Orang Asli, the native peoples of Peninsular Malaysia. They belong to the Austroasiatic language family, which also includes languages like Vietnamese and Khmer. These languages have unique sounds and structures, reflecting the diverse cultures and histories of their speakers. Aslian languages are usually spoken in rural, forested areas and serve as important markers of cultural identity. They are critical to understanding the region's linguistic diversity but face challenges like declining use due to modernization and language shift.
