Yes, "ms" is correct.
As this language uses the Latin Alphabet, fonts should be
no problem. Most likely "DejaVu Sans" is already OK.
According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_alphabet
it doesn’t even use accented letters.
Fontconfig doesn’t yet know Malay ("ms").
That means,
fc-match :lang=ms:outline=true
will fall back to English when trying to select a font for Malay. That
should be no real problem as English fonts should work fine for
Malay. Nevertheless one should probably add this language to fontconfig.
