Other comments: Kupang Malay has a decimal system. Kupang Malay is a Malay-based creole spoken by as many as 200,000 native speakers in and around the city of Kupang, West Timor. There may be up to an additional 100,000 second language speakers. The lexicon, phonology, and grammar of Kupang have all calqued on local languages in significant ways (see references). As a Malay-based creole in contact with a standard or official variety of Malay (Indonesian), speakers of Kupang Malay function in a post-Creole continuum. Some speakers can function fully in the High (Indonesian), and some of them have worked very hard to be able to do so. Therefore it is not surprising that some of these view Kupang Malay as “bad” Indonesian and do not feel it should be given any legitimacy in society, in education, in government, or in the church. Many speakers mix Indonesian and Kupang Malay, and can't always tell you which language or register they are using. Some of these, including many university students in Kupang.

Note that the traditional spellingsː  j= IPA [d͡ʒ], c= IPA [t͡ʃ].
