Direction
Left to right

Malay (Melayu) review centers on this evidence: check Malay affixes, reduplication, particles, honorifics, names, and English or regional-language terminology. For underspecified ms, CLDR supplies Latn (Latin script) as a likely/default web-locale hint—not an audio attribute or exclusive Malay orthography. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms. Project decision: which Malay national standard and borrowed-word spelling the audience expects. Before batch editing ms, a reviewer must record which Malay national standard and borrowed-word spelling the audience expects and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
