The former is very frequently miswritten by English writers as 'Malay,' a barbarism which has even found place on the title-page of a book—'Travel and Sport in Burma, Siam and Malay, by John Bradley, London, 1876.'"\] - [Previous: c10.9035](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9035) - [Next: c10.9037](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9037) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9036](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9036) · Pramāṇa
