用法筆記
Always written with a hyphen and joined directly to a capitalized word naming another people, language, or region. The combined form keeps its initial capital because it begins a proper-noun compound. Distinguish from the plain adjective Malay, which describes the Malay people on their own — Malayo- only appears in compounds.
