A History of the Malay Peninsula

Ian Proudfoot, one of the greatest scholars of the Malay world, passed away on 23 September 2011. Ian was with Australian National University in Canberra and transformed the world
of Malay studies with his visionary online resources. Foremost is the Malay Concordance Project, a corpus of pre-modern Malay texts, now comprising over 140 texts and 5.7 million words, including 120,000 verses, which can be searched in ways that throw light on meanings and contexts, morphological patterns, and changing usage over time.
