Yajese Malay

Yajese Malay (Rejatuan Melayu ) is a language spoken by the Malays in the Rajatawan island located south of Obanacia. It is based on Malay with several loanwords from Hajorian and Baritoa. Alongside the Hkal-Oyo languages, Yajese is one of the main languages in Rajatawan, and the most widely spoken language in Yaje.

Background
Yajese developed when a wave of Malay immigrants arrived in Obanacia in the late 1930s. The language was developed in the city of Yaje as a lingua franca among the Malays in Rajatawan. In 1943, Yajese was recognized as one of Obanacia's working languages.

The language soon spread all over far-eastern Rajatawan in the early 1950s, and almost made its way onto the center of the island. However, only a handful of Hkal-Oyo tribes spoke the language as a lingua franca, while others strongly rejected it. Some Hkal-Oyo vocabulary had been added into the language.

In the mid-1950s, Yajese spread around the south of Obanacia's main island, and made its way in Jokani. Obanaciac vocabulary was added into Yajese, and became one of the official languages of the Alyte of Territorial Islands.
