About the Minangkabau language.
Minangkabau (Baso Minang) is the language of West Sumatra in Indonesia, including Padang and Bukittinggi. The Minangkabau are known for their matrilineal customs and for a long tradition of migration, so the language is also spoken in cities across Indonesia and in Malaysia. It is an Austronesian language, close to Malay, written in the Latin alphabet.
Minangkabau is close enough to Indonesian and Malay that readers recognise much of it, but it has its own vocabulary, sounds and spelling. We use Minangkabau translators so the text reads naturally to Minang readers.
Indonesian official documents are issued in Indonesian, which we also translate. Minangkabau work is usually cultural and community material, marketing, subtitles, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Minangkabau into English or Indonesian. Indonesian names are often spelled in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
