What's the most easily accessible (if any are) Malay dictionary that indicates different vowel pronunciations?

Vowel distinction Malay

Hi Sorridom!

I'm Indonesian. When I was in Indonesia I saw some dictionaries with vowel pronunciation distinction.

If you don't have it in your dictionary, you can pronounce the E either way. There are several accents in Indonesia which don't have the schwa. For example in the Batak accent, E is pronounced like French é.

Salam,

It's a webpage I made to show my students how to read the vowels in Bahasa Malaysia. Just let me know...after such a long time gap :lol:
