The Tasik Chini is the second largest fresh water lake in Peninsular Malaysia and is made up of a series of 12 lakes. Chini River, which drains from the lake, flows into Pahang River. The river is dammed to maintain the lake's depth during the dry season.

They are spoken by about 328 million people (4.4% of the world population). This makes it the fifth-largest language family by number of speakers.
