Chinese Language Standardisation Council of Malaysia


The Chinese Language Standardisation Council of Malaysia (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ; Malay: Majlis Pembakuan Bahasa Cina Malaysia), abbreviated Yufan (Chinese: ; pinyin: Yǔfàn) is the body charged with regulating the use of the Chinese language in Malaysia.

Malaysia is home to approximately 7.2 million ethnic Chinese (26% of the population). The use of the Chinese language is preserved through Chinese vernacular education. Many varieties of Chinese are also used.

Malaysian Chinese have the option of sending their children to vernacular public schools which use Chinese as the medium of instruction at the primary level. At secondary level, some students opt for Chinese Independent High Schools, instead of national public schools, which use Malay as the medium of instruction.

Malaysia also has a robust Chinese-language media. The Sin Chew Daily is the highest-circulated daily newspaper of any language in Malaysia. News telecasts read in Chinese are broadcast by state television stations TV2 and Bernama TV, and private stations such as ntv7 and 8TV.
