No way you would get lost in Malaysia with Bahasa Indonesia. But you would be lost in no time if you have nothing in your wallet. |

NO, NO NO! Don't use your Indonesian accent on them! Yes, they will understand you alright but they will look at you funny and you will not like it.
Speak English to them so they will treat you as equal. |

Yes you can. Bahasa Indonesia is quite similar to Bahasa Malaysia. Most of the signages are in bi-languages, i.e. Malay & English. So, if you could not understand Malay, you could read the one in English.
The Malaysian has been exposed to Bahasa Indonesiaa for quite sometimes through Indonesian television series, movies and songs. There are a lot of Indonesian immigrants in Malaysia too. If you lost your way around Malaysia, just stop by and ask. Malaysians speak English too. |

nope..you will never get lost in Malaysia..almost every malaysian do understand bahasa indonesia as it is quite or very similar to Bahasa Melayu..but some Malaysian does not familiar with some dialect of Bahasa indonesia..
People from Jawa & Medan have the closest dialect to Bahasa Melayu..while others like Madura, Batak, Minang, Lombok and etc have deep accents which are hard to understand...
but no worries..Malaysian are very helpful and friendly..if you are lost. just ask and they will show you the way.. |

Certainly. You're better off with your Bahasa Indonesia than with your English. When I was in Malaysia, I was forced to study their language because believe it or not, very few people speaks English. It was frustrating to express yourself and nobody actually understands you.
Good luck! |

yes, very very so!!!
most malaysians understand bahasa indonesia fine, i think that's pretty obvious from the amount of indonesian teledramas we get daily! plus, i believe there are indonesians almost everywhere in Malaysia, especially among the more populated areas (i.e KL, Johor, etc)
Don't worry, you'll be fine here. The language is not so different, and at worst i'm sure you'd be able to read all the signage around you (which are either in Malay or English). Have fun travelling in Malaysia!! |

We were in Malaysia in May and we got along fine. My husband is Indonesian, so he speaks bahasa Indonesia of course. For the most part, the language is very similar to Malay. You may have a few words that you cant understand, but you should be fine! |
