Reman Malay (Reman: Cakak Reman/Ulu, Jawi: بهاس ملايو رمان, Malay: Bahasa Melayu Reman), also known by several names such as Patani, Baling, Grik and Tukugho, is a Malayic language spoken in the states of Kedah and Perak in northern Peninsular Malaysia. In the state of Kedah it is spoken in the districts of Baling, Padang Terap, Sik and Yan while in Perak it is spoken in Hulu Perak[1] but also in some areas within Kerian and Larut, Matang and Selama districts, especially in the towns of Batu Kurau[2] and Bukit Gantang. Despite being located within these two states, Reman Malay is not closely related to neighbouring Kedahan and Perakian varieties but instead more closely related or an offshoot of Kelantan-Patani Malay.[3][4]
