Musi (Basé Musi) is a Malayic variety spoken primarily in parts of South Sumatra, Indonesia. While the name Musi in the broad sense can also refer to the wider Musi dialect network comprising both Upper Musi and Palembang–Lowland clusters,[2] it is locally used as an endonym specific to the variety spoken in the upstream parts of Musi River.[3]
