PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.
This little work is intended for the use of Travellers
and those who are likely to become resident in
Singapore.
It has no pretensions whatever, beyond those of
affording an easy mode of reference to such words and
sentences as are likely to be required in daily dealings
with servants and others, although, at the same time,
words will be found in the second column of the
Vocabulary which will doubtless serve as an aid to
those who are desirous of acquiring a proper know-
ledge of Malay.
In many instances, English equivalents cannot be
found for Malay sounds, but the pronunciation given
will, it is hoped, be found sufficiently correct to enable
the Traveller to make himself understood; this is all
that is aimed at.
The blank column on every second page is intended
for the record of any word or sentence which the
Traveller or Newcomer may hear and which he may
wish to note down for his future guidance.
The chief feature of the work is, that it gives, in the
third column, the approximate pronunciation of the
Malay wordsan arrangement which it is believed
no other Malay book published in the Colony possesses.
The typical arrangement is that which is adopted in
books of a similar character published in England for
the use of Travellers on the Continent of Europe.
Singapore,
November, 1886.


PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
The favourable reception accorded to the First
Edition of this work has encouraged the Publishers
to present this new Edition to the public.
It has been carefully revised as well as slightly
enlarged, and the Publishers trust it may be found
to deserve the same cordial support as that given to
its predecessor.
It should perhaps be mentioned that a few of the
subscribers to the First Edition suggested the use of
diacritical marks in a Second Edition, in order to give
the correct sound of every word, but the Publishers
consider an array of marks in a work which has often
to be hastily referred toas undoubtedly this little
work haswould only be confusing, and they believe
they are meeting the wishes of the majority when they
adhere to the plan originally adopted, viz., that of
writing the words in the third column 'phonetically,
avoiding the use of any marks whatever.
Singapore,
July i88g.


PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION.
In issuing this, the Tenth Edition of the Traveller's
Malay Pronouncing Hand-book, the compilers desire
to draw special attention to the remarks appearing
under the Preface to the First and Second Editions.
Singapore,
August, 1911.
