Bahasa Panau

Bahasa Panau (bah-HAH-sah pah-NAW) is an Austronesian language spoken in the Island of Panau, Malay Archipelago. This is based on the island nation of Panau in Just Cause 2.

As an Austronesian language, it is very close to such languages like Filipino (Wikang Filipino), Malay (Bahasa Melayu), and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), and others from Javanese (Basa Java), Bisaya (Sinugbuanong Binisaya), Ilokano (Pagsasao nga Ilokano), Minangkabau (Baso Minangkabau), and Acehnese (Bahsa Aceh); but most words come from Malay, Indonesian and Filipino. Some words come from foreign languages.

This can be classified as a Malay creole or Indonesian creole that is mixed with Filipino (Tagalog) vocabulary and a little grammar.

The language uses Latin, Tamil, and Thai alphabets.

Plurality (Pluraliti)
Just repeat a noun, like for example, children = anak-anak, goats = kambing-kambing, etc.

Pronouns (Pronun-pronun)
Since there are no possessive forms for plural pronouns, use the formula: (noun) + (pronoun).

To use the noun "anjing", which means dog, there is a lot of possessive combinations: However, plural pronouns should not be confused with the sentences:
 * anjingku = my dog
 * anjingmu = your dog
 * anjingnya = his / her dog
 * anjing kami = our dog (not you included)
 * anjing kita = our dog (you included)
 * anjing kalian = your dog (you guys, you people)
 * anjing mereka = their dog

Anjing-anjing mereka = Their dogs

Mereka adalah anjing-anjing. = They are dogs.

The notable difference is seen, in which in the second sentence, the word "adalah" is placed, which means is or am.

There are some pronouns for objects like:

Ini -> "This"

Itu -> "That"

In order to tell "this one" or "that one", place the word "yang" in order to be "yang ini" or "yang itu".

Dini ---> "Here"

Ditu > "There"

Gini =====> "Like this"

Gitu =====> "Like that"
