The Institute of Asian Studies at Universiti Brunei Darussalam was fortunate to have Professor Jérôme Samuel (INALCO, Paris) recently present a talk for the IAS Wednesday Seminar Series on “Beloved Cousins or Enemy Brothers: Which Mutual Intelligibility between Indonesian and Malaysian Languages?”

After the talk, Professor Samuel sat down with us to discuss the main points of his research on the mutual intelligibility of Indonesian and Malaysian Languages as well as his other research interests.
