Gorontalo Malay, also known as Gorontalo Indonesian,[1] in Gorontalo language it is called Mobisala Molayu, is a Malay-based creole language spoken by the majority of the Gorontalo people in the Minahasa Peninsula region, especially in Gorontalo,[3][4] as well as in Buol Regency, Central Sulawesi.[5]

Based on its grammatical characteristics, Gorontalo Malay is classified as Malay trade and creole languages.[6][7] In general, the Gorontalo Malay functions as lingua franca in Gorontalo and the surrounding area, including several areas in the northern part of Tomini Bay which are also inhabited by the Gorontalo people.[8][9]

The influence of Arabic language is very visible in Gorontalo Malay. This can be seen from several Arabic vocabularies that have been absorbed into Gorontalo Malay, for example the word ana أنا as the first person singular pronoun (me), and ente أنت as the second person singular pronoun (you).[10]
