Mah Meri, also known as Besisi and Betise’, is an aboriginal Mon–Khmer language spoken in Malaya. It is the only such language spoken on the coast, in Malacca outside the capital Kuala Lumpur. The small number of speakers is increasing. A dictionary of the Mah Meri language has been recently written by Nicole Kruspe.
