  Actually the language spoken by majority of Malaysians and Indonesians is called Bahasha (derivative of Bhasha). Bahasha Malaysia and Bahasha Indonesia. Even the base of Filipino is Bahasha with a lot of Portugese influence.  You do find a lot of Sanskrit influence in Bahasha. For example, there was a movement in Malaysia in the 60s to wrestle the trade and commerce from the Han Chinese businessman in favor of the local Malaysians. It was called the Bhoomi-Putra (sons of soil) movement.

    Hello,
    Both Malay and Indonesia speak Malay - so asam means sour in both countries.

    That is interesting. Rajib told that the word Assam means 'tenga' in Indonesia. Do you know any thing about the word meaning in Malaysia?

    well. this dish is also popular in Singapore and Malaysia. This one tastes like a cross between :tom yam of Thailand"and our ""tenga" I have not eaten the version with prawns as I have seen mostly that they dish with made with fish head. In the menu it is listed as "Assam Fish head curry". it is delicious.

    Do you know that 'Assam' is also a popular Indonesian Dish.
    Heard it before but did not know what it is. Here is the recipe. 
    Next time you go an Indonesian Restaurant, ask for it.
