马来西亚是一个典型的具有多元民族文化特性的国家，马来语是其国语及第一官方语言。长期以来，该国政府高度重视国家语言政策的规划以确立并巩固马来语在其国内的地位，并致力于提高其在区域及国际上的影响力。2022年，马来西亚总理伊斯迈尔·沙必里提出将马来语发展成为东盟第二官方语言的目标和具体方案。对此，国内外反应不一。虽然政府出台了许多配套政策以推动马来语“走出去”，但伊斯迈尔的这一提案仍面临来自国内外的多重挑战及多方压力。随着安瓦尔总理接替伊斯迈尔执政，该语言政策能否继续推行还有待进一步观察。
Malaysia is a typical country with multi-ethnic cultural characteristics，and Malay is its national language and official language. For a long time，the government has attached great importance to the planning of the national language policy to establish and consolidate the status of the Malay language in the country and to enhance its influence regionally and internationally. In 2022，Prime Minister of Malaysia，Ismail Sabri put forward the goal and specific plan to develop Malay into the second official language of ASEAN. Reaction has been mixed at home and abroad. Although the government has introduced many supporting policies to promote the “going global” of the Malay language，Ismail’s proposal still faces multiple challenges and pressures both at home and abroad. With the new Prime Minister Anwar taking over from Ismail，it remains to be seen whether the language policy will continue.
