The oldest known inscriptions in the Malay language were found at Kedukan Bukit and Talang Tuo, both in the vicinity of Palembang in southern Sumatra, and at Kota Kapur on Bangka island west of Sumatra. They are respectively dated 673, 684 and 686. Possibly cognate with Old Javanese malayū (“to run, to run away, to flee”), referring to the Musi river at Palembang.",
