Pekal language

Pekal is a Malayic language spoken by around 30,000 people on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, more specifically in Mukomuko Regency in Bengkulu Province. It should not be confused with Mukomuko language which is much more closely related but distinct from Pekal. It also has a considerable influence from Rejang language, which is the most widely spoken language in the province.
