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/dialect which is much more closely related but distinct from Pekal. It also has a considerable influence from
Rejangese language, which is the most widely spoken language in the province.
