Subject: Descriptive grammar for Malay?



Dear LINGUIST list subscribers,

Is there a good (comprehensive, descriptive) reference grammar for
Standard Malay (ISO 639-1: ms / SIL: MLI) suitable for computational
linguists?

So far, I have only found two pointers, William Marsden, 'A grammar of
the Malayan language ...' (1812) and the more recent 'Student's
Grammar of Malay and Indonesian' by Malcolm W. Mintz (2002, ISBN
0-95803831-7).

I shall post a summary of useful responses mailed to me. Thanks very much 
in advance.

	Regards & Terima kasih!
		Jochen
