The Temiar language is a member of the Austronesian language family, specifically classified under the Malayo-Polynesian branch. It is primarily spoken by the Temiar people, an indigenous group residing in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia. The language is known for its rich oral traditions and is an essential part of the community's cultural identity. Temiar is considered a vulnerable language, with a declining number of speakers due to urbanization and the influence of the national language, Malay. Efforts are being made to preserve the language through educational programs and community initiatives, aiming to revitalize its use among younger generations.
