Kelantanese Malay dialect is distinguished from standard Malay as well as other Malay dialects by its unique grammar, pronunciation and figures of speech.
Kelantanese Malay is somewhat Partially Intelligible with other Malay dialects. Whilst the Arab script called Jawi has less influence in the other parts of Malaysia, it is still widely used in writing and printing the Malay language in Kelantan. Signboards in Kelantan are written in both Jawi and Rumi. To a certain extent, Thai is also used.
95% of Kelantan's population are ethnic Malay, and under the Malaysian Constitution, all Malays are Muslims; therefore, Islam is the most influential religion in the state.
To most Malaysians, Kelantan is synonymous with Malay Arts and crafts Kota Bharu, as the state capital, is a popular centre for such pursuits as silat,Martial arts, and kertok drumming. Here, too, more than any other place in Malaysia, the traditional pastimes of top-spinning known as gasing and the flying of giant, elaborately decorated kites called wau, are still much in evidence.
