'Diorang' or 'dorang' is a short form of 'dia orang' in Malay language. 'Dia' means him/her and 'orang' means people or person. But when these words are combined, it will become 'they' or 'them'. It's an informal word. The formal one is 'mereka'.
1. Diorang cantik! (Translation: they're pretty!)
2. Aku nak berjaya macam diorang. (Translation: I want to be successful like them).
