This article traces a largely forgotten Malay dialect which was historically in use among South African Muslims of Southeast Asian origin. Its use reached its pinnacle in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Some elements of the Cape Malay grammar, especially its phonology, can be reconstructed through earlyand mid-twentieth-century documents, most of which were written by outsiders when it was no longer passed on as a first language. When read linguistically, these sources reveal that the Malay of Cape Town resembled that of Batavia, Eastern Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. In a later developmental stage, Cape Malay adopted linguistic features from other languages spoken in the Western Cape. Yet influence took place in multiple directions and several non-standard varieties of Afrikaans exhibit lexical influence from Malay. As such, Cape Malay language history is relevant to those interested in Southeast Asia as well as South Africa.

Southeast Asia is home to many distinct groups of sea nomads, some of which are known collectively as Orang (Suku) Laut. Those located between Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula are all Malayic-speaking. Information about their speech is paltry and scattered; while starting points are provided in publications such as Skeat and Blagden (1906), Kähler (1946a, b, 1960), Sopher (1977: 178?180), Kadir et al. (1986), Stokhof (1987), and Collins (1988, 1995), a comprehensive account and description of Malayic Sea Tribe lects has not been provided to date. This study brings together disparate sources, including a bit of original research, to sketch a unified linguistic picture and point the way for further investigation. While much is still unknown, this paper demonstrates relationships within and between individual Sea Tribe varieties and neighbouring canonical Malay lects. It is proposed that Sea Tribe lects can be assigned to four groupings: Kedah, Riau Islands, Duano, and Sekak.

"Urak Lawoi" yang berarti "orang laut" adalah nama suku nelayan pengembara laut yang tersebar di Pulau Phuket (Thailand) dan Kepulauan Adang di sebelah selatannya. Bahasa mereka yang juga dikenal dengan nama Urak Lawoi? merupakan sebuah varietas Melayu yang khas. Dari pemeriannya yang ada tampaklah bahwa bahasa itu menyimpang dari varietas Melayu di daratan Thailand Selatan dan di semenanjung Malaysia. Dalam artikel ini direkonstruksikan perubahan bunyi dalam urutannya yang diakronis, yang telah memberikan wujud khas pada kata-kata leksikal Urak Lawoi? itu. Yang menonjol dalam hal itu adalah dua perubahan bunyi yang mengingatkan bahasabahasa di Kalimantan Barat dan Serawak, yaitu hilangnya letupan bersuara setelah konsonan nasal di dalam morfem (*-mb- > -m-, dan seterusnya), dan penggantian nasal pada akhir kata oleh konsonan tak bersuara yang homorgan (*-m > -p, dan seterusnya).
