 Ternate Malay or North Moluccan Malay language is now widely used in Eastern Indonesia, especially in North Sulawesi, the east coast of Central and South Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua with different dialects.Two manuscripts of the Ternate sultan's letter, from Sultan Abu Hayat II to the King of Portugal on 27 April and 8 November 1521 were recognized as the oldest Malay manuscripts in the world after the Tanjung tanah manuscripts.The two letters of Sultan Abu Hayat are currently still stored in the Museum of Lisbon, Portugal.
