| - Malay houses (Malay: Rumah Melayu; Jawi: رومه ملايو) refer to the vernacular dwellings of the Malays, an ethno-linguistic group inhabiting Sumatra, coastal Borneo and the Malay Peninsula. Traditional architectural forms, such as tropically-suited roofs and harmonious proportions with decorative elements are considered to still have great cultural value by many in the region. However, these buildings require significant maintenance compared to modern construction; such as the challenges in preserving its main material, wood, from the decaying effect of tropical weather as well as termite infestation. These vernacular construction skills are gradually being lost as Malaysia continues its process of industrialisation, while in Indonesia such traditional dwellings still survive in rural areas. (en)

- Rumah Melayu adalah Rumah kayu atau rumah kampung pada masa dulu boleh dikatakan tidak asing bagi orang Melayu. Tapi dengan urbanisasi penduduk kini, ramai anak-anak Melayu yang tidak lagi mengenal apakah ciri bentuk sebenarnya rumah kayu tradisional maupun caranya dibangun tanpa paku. Bahan binaan yang digunakan diambil dari sumber alam yang boleh diperbaharui, yakni pelbagai jenis kayu-kayan, juga buluh dan rotan hinggalah kepada daun-daun pelepah. Jika rumah perlu dibesarkan, struktur ‘Rumah Tengah’ pula boleh ditambah di antara Rumah Ibu dan Rumah Dapur. (in)
