peoples predominantly inhabiting the Malay
Peninsula, eastern Sumatra and coastal
Borneo, as well as the smaller islands which
lie between these locations — areas that are
collectively known as the Malay world.
• These locations today are part of the modern
nations of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,
Brunei and southern Thailand.
 Malay Ethnic
• There is considerable genetic, linguistic, cultural, and
social diversity among the many Malay subgroups,
mainly due to hundreds of years of immigration and
assimilation of various regional ethnicity and tribes
within Maritime Southeast Asia.
• Historically, the Malay population is descended
primarily from the earlier Malayic-speaking tribes that
settled in the region, who founded several ancient
maritime trading states and kingdoms, notably Brunei,
Kedah Kingdom, Langkasuka, Gangga Negara, Chi Tu,
Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom, Melayu Kingdom and
Srivijaya, and the later Cham and Austronesian
settlers.
