While some use "FatherLAND", "MotherLAND" or "HomeLAND" to refer to their native land, the Malay-Indonesian word for the term is "Tanah Air" which literally translates to "WATER LAND" (Tanah = Land + Air = Water). The word clearly describe the Malay/Austronesian as the people who dominate and build civilization not only on land but also on water. Hence, they are the masters of the land and seas.
Naz Noraz As a Malay myself I always thought that term was bizarre, at least until I discover the term Austronesia and the history of sea-faring that they engage in. Then it finally made sense to me 🥳
As a pacific islander in Melanesia, we were always taught in school about our Austronesian heritage but after watching this video, I realized that I have a big family in Asia
Nice!What Island you from?Theres not just Austronesians in Southeast Asia but Melanesians are also found in Indonesia!Not just in West Papua as we all know,but also East Timor,Maluku,and as far west as East Nusa Tengarra.Mostly all in far Eastern Indonesia excluding Sulawesi.Melanesians have more numbers,genetics,and cultural impact on Indonesia than many people want to admit.
@@gpl992 Aeta people of the Philippines are also Melanesians but only a few tribes have remain unassimilated, almost all of their new generation are mixed with Filipino.
Hi.. I am one of Austronesian. I am originally known as Sea DAYAK by Englishmen colonials. My local etnic name is Iban. Iban tribe is one of the oldest etnic from the same root with Malay and others Austronesian. 40% of our language is similar yet not same pronunciation with Malay Language. Beside that, Iban Tribe also quite similar with Filipino in terms of skin color and facial shapes. BTW, I am Malaysian too just because I am from Sarawak, part of malaysia.
Dayaks or Iban their looks even skin ton similiar south chinese or Indonesian like palembang, nias, sundanese etc, majority filipinos is brown skin and some have light skin , especially a mixture of Spanish blood

If Malaysia-Indonesia-Philippine-Brunei-Singapore is united & become a single nation, it's gonna be one of the greatest nation in the world.. unfortunately a long time ago, British & Dutch are fighting with each others over British Malaya (Malaysia) & Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), meanwhile at the north, the cruel Spanish is crushing Filipino's to death.. poor our homeland.. Europe, you so bad 👎😭
another clueless guy who barely understand anything lets be real here, what were indonesia alone before the colonies came? many tens or hundreds of different tribes and nations that keeps changing over time the tech was also isn't as modern as once the colonies came and brought their techs here alongside their colonies. No i don't support the enslavement during colonization, but thats what happens back then in the whole world and done by nearly every country back then even indonesian different nations when they can Don't play all clean just because you're the one that lost in a cherrypicked moment of time that you prefer for your narrative. im indonesian too, but thats the case. There won't be indonesia as it is today if not for the Dutch 'uniting' the territory we have today under its colony back then
You did a great job theorizing about united Austronesia, Mason! Although maintaining unity and order in archipelagic countries like Indonesia and the Philippines is already a challenge, let alone a united Pan-Austronesian nation. But still, a united Austronesia has been a dream for most of us, Austronesian.
@Archnid 001 it is rarely the case. although some people groups still hold ancient grudges upon another. The main issue is because of autonomy and infrastructure. It is no secret that one region/island is far more developed than others, and it may cause tension.
@Archnid 001 I've never heard a long-lasting conflict over a fishing ground lol XD. But wherever we came from, we humans always love to hate each other
we can put effort to be culturally united, rather than politically. i’ve been all the way to tahiti and rangiroa and were recognised as kin, and have been writing about that travel experience on my blog, as a malaysian of bugis/javanese/minang heritage.
@@josemartinsgalucho7264 for real, the fact that in Austronesian society (including islander/Oceania), the more you look Eurasian/mestizo/Asian/blasteran/hapa as half/with a few % mixed with white/caucasian/European gen, the more that society would put you in the good-looking category since people so fetishizing it. Most people in the showbiz/pageant/entertainment industry as representatives are always half-white people (even the one who looks like Elliot Rodger can get the privileged ).
Cool thanks for accepting my req, i'm also austronesian from indonesia. In indonesia we have a popular kindergarten song called Nenek Moyangku seorang pelaut (my ancestors were sailors).
I am born and raised in the UK but i am a native visayan (Bohol island) from the Philippines. It just amazes me how my austronesian people have sailed as far west to Africa (Madagascar) all the way east to Easter Island (Rapa Nui). Living in London we don't have the sea but whenever I get a chance to go to the seaside or in fact, any body of water I have always had a strong connection to it. I guess it's within my genes to have an affinity to water and the sea.
Same here! Zamboangueño living in Chicago. And I can't go more than 5 blocks sway from the lakefront. I tried! I get very depressed. Hehe! I have to be near the water. 😁
United Austronesian Federation will have full domination over the choke-point straits in the most important route of global trade (the straits of Malacca, Sunda, Makassar, Lombok, Sulu Sea, Eastern Indonesian Sea, and southern part of South China Sea. It is a blessing, but also could be a curse, as without a strong naval power, all countries which have their own interests in the global trade will scramble to this area like in the past.
I have a better idea. United Austronesia has one of the most powerful economies in the world. We can invest in many fast attack craft with anti-ship missiles. Build the navy even bit by bit.
China will be scared to touch the south china sea against a united austronesian empire, the USA will be threathened as they will not anymore be the only superpower in the Pacific ocean.
Well, if austronesian countries became rich. They might actually be capable of taking over the entire pacific ocean and indian ocean. Putting CHINA and USA to shame when the austronesians started building blockade on seas. Controlling every single boats and aircraft passing by. Or probably make the LARGEST TOLL GATE in the world.
@@nunyabiznes33 Most of the population understands they have Austronesian DNA, even though hundreds of years of colonialism wiped out their languages and culture.
agree! most Taiwanese have Austronesian DNA in their blood but they might not be aware of the link. I happened to know my Formosan Kavalan ancestry through my family tree book(genealogy). My sixteen male ancestor married to "huan-pô" which means aboriginal wife. That made me curious about Austronesian.
Every austronesian should settle their differences and unite against a common enemy. We know our enemy already. It is our seas guys. it's been with our ancestors for a very long time. We sailed our seas long before the chinese did. And we have our every right to claim what is ours.
@@rhechellaspera5466 That's almost impossible. China has been eyeing the pacific islands for a while now. Many island nations there owe China for the infrastructure loans. China missed the timing on getting oversea territory in the Pacific pre-WWII so this is their plan now. Now many Oceanian and African countries are secretly supporting China.
Here in Philippines, there's a Nomadic sea Tribe that still spreading until now we called it Badjao. Some of our badjao brothers is still living in a traditional way in a boathouse, and spending almost of their life at the sea. That tribe is also common at Indonesia and Malaysia. The tribe that can enter country by country without passing by in immigration.. But now, those tribe are avoiding the coast guard if they want to enter to other country.. Tsk Civilization..
Yep, as a Bajau people myself, it's kinda sad to see that our Bajau brethren are being locked from their ancestral path because of some colonials drawing funny lines on a map.
@@zurielschubert9410 you guys are probably the remaining true essence of austronesia.. probably a true direct descendants of pre Formosa Malayans... So I bow 🙌🏻
@@jhufelcarcellar463 Although I feel honored. Don't be. I'm also a mix. Between two very differing culture. My dad is Kadazan while my mom is Bajau, and it's not like I'm absolutely part of the remaining true Austronesia. The very fact that I can speak English and can speak Bajau on the basic level is proof that I'm not very intertwined to my mother's culture. I still took part in it, but not by much.
no matter What our religion is, no matter what our country is, we are the missing brothers long time ago under ONE BIG family AUSTRONESIAN/MALAYO POLYNESIA. Proud of it.

@Rejie Quimiguing Yes they are filipinos seaman traveling from the sea. But they do not have austronesian blood. Or whatever you say. So you do not think that the all seaman people has austronesian blood. Imao haha 😂
You forgot to mention Malay, which is most likely the second or even first most widely spoken non-native language in the Austronesian world. Most Indonesians speak Malay (i.e. Indonesian) as a second language, although with practically native fluency due to its use in almost all areas of life.
Indonesian Malay sounds different to Malaysian Malay and both languages have many false friends. Also Malaysian will not understand Dutch loanwords in bahasa Indonesia.
It's true, even though Malaysian Malay and Bahasa Indonesia have gone their own development path since independence, both languages in essence is still under the Malay language family group. So basically we all speak Malay.
@@ucoknyaduren3324 LOL back at you. Can't even understand what I said. No one denies Indonesian rooted from Malay. Like I said, the root had split and gone their own path and on Indonesian part became B. Indonesia. Maybe it's you who dream too much. LOL. Keep dreaming bro.
@@H0B0J03 the original forms for the name of that place "Limaq" and "Limac" meant something way different from austronesian lima and descendants which is relatively stable in definition, so its just a case of false friends.

I think if that happen they'll use Indonesia or Malay Johor-Riau Language to be lingua franca rather than English or Chinese-Cantonese. Malay Riau Languages already became lingua franca in Nusantara for century even Phippine used that language before Spain arrived. Also i think Malay Johor-Riau or Bahasa Indonesia will be better to be Lingua Franca rather Cantonese, Mandarin or English, due some various reason: 1.Doesn't have a tense Past, or Future. (while English have a tense, past but no Future) 2.Doesn't have Feminime or Masculine 3.Pronunciation mostly completely Phonetic, except the letter "E" seriously, They should change or add some letter after "E" since they have 6 vocal. A, İ, U, I, O, E. (Even though is better than English Pronunciation) 4.They use Roman Script, of course is better than Mandarin-Cantonese Script. 5. Doesn't have Verb Conjugation, we use prefix-suffixes "Di, and Ter" so no Verb Conjugation. 6. Doesn't have Article. Is,am, Are, Were, Have + Be etc. 7.Doesn't have Tonal pronunciation. (Mandarin and Cantonese have Tonal pronunciation). 8. Plural are rarely used. 9. Easy to memorize vocabulary if you understand prefix and suffixes.
@@Aeybiseediy Same Austronesian language family but not Malay language family. Actually isn't really different, it has ton of similar Vocabulary, also the pronunciation is similar too, even though it has different gramar and a few different vocab.

In the Tagalog Mythology, there were only three primordial deities in the beginning of time. They were Bathala (the creator), Ulilang Kaluluwa (the serpent-god), and Galang Kaluluwa (the winged-god). All of them thought they were the only one who existed in the universe. Ulilang Kaluluwa, who lived in the skies, claimed himself as the ruler. It was until he saw Bathala on earth, and asked him who he was. Bathala responded, "I'm Bathala. The ruler of the universe." Ulilang Kaluluwa got mad and challenged him to a duel. Bathala defeated the serpent-god. He then burned and buried his rival. Bathala then met Galang Kaluluwa. Unlike Ulila, Gala was his friend. They lived happily together until Gala got sick and death is inevitable. Before he died he asked Bathala for the last time to bury him the same place where Ulila was. Gala knew that Bathala dreamed to create mankind but he can't support them. When Gala was buried beside Ulila, a tree sprouted. Bathala reminded of its leaves with Gala's wings, and its trunk with Ulila's serpent body. The tree then made Bathala's dream came true in creating humanity. It is then called as the 'Tree of Life' which supports mankind of all its needs. People then considered coconut a very sacred tree.

There was an actual steps or effort taken to realise this in the early 50s. It's called Maphilindo (Malaysia, Phillipines and Indonesia). In the end due to the difficulty of administration, political difference and economic disparity, was not realised. Not as big as the video example but close enough. A country with around 40k island is a challenge to run as each island or chains of island are diverse in their own culture.

In July 1963 then President Diosdado Macapagal held a Manila Summit aiming the formation of MAPHILINDO (Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia), it was a proposed then a nonpolitical confederation of the three Southeast Asian countries. It has short lived because of the member nations difference in political and territorial agenda. If this differences were truly address like what the current ASEAN organization is doing, there might be a higher chance that this Region of the world can be a force to reckon with.
@AhmadFahimi MohdMohiden precisely, that is why we cannot come up with a united agenda towards regional stability. Both our countries have their own agenda. Maybe it may take us more years to attain a solid south east Asian region. I also think that because of numerous years being colony we somewhat lost our ability to rule ourselves.

Dont let western people tell our history too much. Im Moluccan and much of these facts are true but has more layers to it. You cant ignore the aborinals when talking about the whole area from taiwan to hawaii. One day I hope that we can tell our own history.
Ja toch Nee it’s a shame that dispite austronesians having a diverse culture their histories are scarce ignored or looked downed upon which unfortunately austronesians do play a part in it as they further shift away from their cultural heritage in favor of another. were there inventors, excellent generals, and exporters in the island. We don’t that as austronesian history is limited to foreign influence, colonialism , and genocide, of your lucky you might get a reference of an indigenous kingdom, only of its influenced by a foreign culture as the mainstream narrative on indidgeous austronesian culture is seen as tribal and primitive while praising Native American culture (in the United States) as advanced and progressive. I’m sorry a glorified village and a primitive form of democracy does not convince me that native Americans (in the United States) are advanced
I hope the same. As a Chamoru, Navajo, African American, I get so stressed to find all my histories told by white men. If they haven’t ever been kind to us, y would they start when recounting what they believe to be our histories. Smh one love, Guaiya !!

Thanks for spreading awareness on the Austronesians. Having a common origin, we should encourage spreading awareness and more interaction with each other like - trade, cultural exchange, education, annual sports events and the like. It would be a uniting factor based on our common origin and it should foster tolerance and respect that transcends religion, politics or country of origin.
I want to know more about the Samoans, Tongans, and Hawaiians. They seem so racially diverse, it's amazing. I mean I see Asian, African, and European traits running through their blood lines..
I'm glad you mentioned that the word "Malay" in reference to the people of Southeast Asia etc was a misconception that "Austronesians" came from the Malay pen. I think that came up when the European colonizers didn't know what to make of this blob of brown people, speaking similar language with similar customs. There's only the one group of Austronesians who settled northern Philippines responsible for the spread of Austronesian language, culture, and some dna throughout the Pacific, all the way to Madagascar. The rest of the Austronesian groups remained in Formosa/Taiwan. The grouping of peoples, language, society and culture commonly called Malay-Polynesian, is really just that one group. It's better to refer to call this group of Austronesian peoples according to sub groups, e.g. Filipinos, Malays, Indonesians, Micronesians, Polynesians, Malagasy etc to be more accurate.
Wow, I completely agree. I am 8% Formosan but a DNA test result thinks I am Polynesian. Most of all, I study various Austronesian languages and they are very similar in many aspects linguistically. They can be easily unified as one standard Austronesian mandarin (nothing to do with Chinese, just use Mandarin as "Common Language")
Did you take the AncestryDNA one? That website incorrectly labels people with Austronesian ancestry as "Polynesian. I've seen Filipinos and Indonesians get their DNA tested through AncestryDNA and it says they're about 30% Polynesian which is wrong. Try getting your DNA tested with 23andme instead or something else
@@JcDizon 30% Polynesian? The origins of Polynesians came from Southeast Asia and their Polynesian languages traces their prehistoric origins from Malay Archipelago.

Someone asked for a cultural and ethnic analysis over "Cascadia" which to me is basically the polar opposite of Appalachia. Hipster city folk vs country bumpkins
We are all either Malay, Javanese, Sundanese, Bugis, Dayak, Madura, Batak, Minang, Minahasa Moro. We are all one Austronesian nation from Madagascar, the peninsula of the archipelago to Hawaii, America. Even American Indians are thought to be our Austronesian people.
In Philippine schools, we’re taught (late 90s textbooks) that the islands were populated mainly by 3 waves of migration: Negritos- maybe related to those who ended up in the Pacific islands; Indones- maybe the Formosa group; and Malays- probably the mainland group.

The pride of the Malay Race indeed, funny thing is, his ancestry is mostly not austronesian, that just shows with a good environment, anyone can adopt the malay/austronesian identity and cherish it like we actual Autronesians do
@@persatuannusantara Rizal is a complicated topic. spanish colonial philippines wasnt all austronesian. the spanish colonial strategy was assimilationist, as opposed to segregationist in indonesia and malaysia, (we did not have enclaves in the same definition as you guys did) so it does not matter if you are an austronesian native, chinese, spanish, japanese, indian, mexican, or whatever, these were all encouraged to assimilate and intermarry to produce mestizos. Rizal was one such who embodied the very height in definition of a filipino mestizo. he was mostly a mestizo de sangley, most his ethnic roots were hokkien chinese and native laguna tagalog on his father side, but on his mother side, it was tornatras with spanish, chinese, japanese, and native blood. he was culturally more spanish though, since he wrote mostly in spanish and was educated in spanish, literally traveled around the world, and politically leaned more to keeping ties with spain, for philippines to just be an official recognized province of spain rather than just some colony
Me 🇵🇬 after finding out my ancestors were Asian Because of austronesian migration Papua New Guinea has 800 languages 300 austronesian and 500 papuan 😌🙏🏽 My tribe like Chewing bettlenuts and making claypots ahhh that's so austronesian I can't believe I didn't realise 😳 🤫 Respect to my ancestors 😳😳😳
All my life I've been dreaming that one day, we can interact with our brothers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and all other austronesian descent. Greeting each other and treating one another like a true brother and countrymen. A bond that's even greater than any other countries around the world. Will stand with each other in times of conflict from foreign aggression. Share and accept each other's culture and religion. Respects each others belief. We do not need to be one country to achieve that. Let's just form a much better austronesian union with one currency just like what President Marcos, Jose Rizal, Mabini and all other heroes before them dreamed. Let's form a AU (Austronesian Union) with Austronesian Dollar as our official currency.
@@elvinbertcorvera1884 I have learned my history and sadly I have learned the cruelty Marcos has done during his dictatorial years. Now, if you are going to say the positive outcomes the Marcos administration has done during his early term, don't. I already know that he build infractures and made the Philippines economy boomed but contrary to that I also know the amount of debts he has put our country after his terms. Lol Imelda Marcos even has the largest collections of expensive shoes all over the world. It was proved that Marcos was corrupt and a dictator. Don't you ever freaking tell me that I'm a fan of Aquino just because I despise Marcos because I am not. I am not a fan of any political colors. Plus if you're going to tell me that history books are the product of the Aquinos. Don't, damn it. Edsa Revolution happened because a lot of Filipinos back then are not happy with Marcos leadership. If you're going to tell me that the revolution was influenced by Aquino, don't. Because how the fuck can Aquino influence all of them? They are the one's who have experienced it and you have no right to criticize their actions that saved you from being under a dictatorial rule.
In my opinion if Austronesia unites, it'll be a bit of a threat to East Asia since the maritime trade route passes through us and the control may depend upon the Austronesian authorities. And the tension at the south china sea might be intensified. What do you think?
Hi Masaman, I think focus on foreign minorities in each Southeast Asian nation as well as their integration would be a good video. For example, the Hokkien Chinese in the Philippines and the Punjabi and Sindhi Indians (yes, the Philippines has a small Indian diaspora) would be interesting, and their integration to the mainstream. I can provide some internet sources that I have found over the months
please tell me more about the Indians in the Philippines! I only heard about the 5/6 money lending stereotype. In Indonesia in coastal cities like Medan and Jakarta Indians are a very insignificant minority in comparison to the Chinese.
@@kykale they're integrated. I meet people who kinda look like they have South Asian blood, but they're very Filipino in culture. Same with the Chinese in the Philippines. Many don't even consider themselves Chinese anymore.
Integration of Indians is thoroughly vivid in Bikol a southern part of Luzon one of the three major Islands of the Philippines( I've read the article once) where they have this local epic called Ibalong. A story of sailor from India, who became a local settler and a hero as well . Also he initiates cultural development as well as progress in various form like farming and hunting; and teach locals the skills in making tools for better way of hunting during Iron Age. P.S. Anyone can add inputs or corrections to my info stated above, feel free to express it..
Alright thank you, I am Indonesian, thats explain why a lot of people mistake me as a Native Hawaiian when I was in Hawaii last year, I am Indonesian born and bred my father is Dayaknese of central borneo, and my mom is Banjarese of South Borneo.
Any Austronesian? Leave a like. Hope one day we all will unite again.

While some use "FatherLAND", "MotherLAND" or "HomeLAND" to refer to their native land, the Malay-Indonesian word for the term is "Tanah Air" which literally translates to "WATER LAND" (Tanah = Land + Air = Water). The word clearly describe the Malay/Austronesian as the people who dominate and build civilization not only on land but also on water. Hence, they are the masters of the land and seas.
Naz Noraz As a Malay myself I always thought that term was bizarre, at least until I discover the term Austronesia and the history of sea-faring that they engage in. Then it finally made sense to me 🥳

You did a great job theorizing about united Austronesia, Mason! Although maintaining unity and order in archipelagic countries like Indonesia and the Philippines is already a challenge, let alone a united Pan-Austronesian nation. But still, a united Austronesia has been a dream for most of us, Austronesian.
@Archnid 001 it is rarely the case. although some people groups still hold ancient grudges upon another. The main issue is because of autonomy and infrastructure. It is no secret that one region/island is far more developed than others, and it may cause tension.

I am born and raised in the UK but i am a native visayan (Bohol island) from the Philippines. It just amazes me how my austronesian people have sailed as far west to Africa (Madagascar) all the way east to Easter Island (Rapa Nui). Living in London we don't have the sea but whenever I get a chance to go to the seaside or in fact, any body of water I have always had a strong connection to it. I guess it's within my genes to have an affinity to water and the sea.

United Austronesian Federation will have full domination over the choke-point straits in the most important route of global trade (the straits of Malacca, Sunda, Makassar, Lombok, Sulu Sea, Eastern Indonesian Sea, and southern part of South China Sea. It is a blessing, but also could be a curse, as without a strong naval power, all countries which have their own interests in the global trade will scramble to this area like in the past.
bring the borobudur ship back and modernize it and annex chola empire?
I have a better idea. United Austronesia has one of the most powerful economies in the world. We can invest in many fast attack craft with anti-ship missiles. Build the navy even bit by bit.
We should bring back the long lost glory of the austronesian thalassocracy..
China will be scared to touch the south china sea against a united austronesian empire, the USA will be threathened as they will not anymore be the only superpower in the Pacific ocean.
Well, if austronesian countries became rich. They might actually be capable of taking over the entire pacific ocean and indian ocean. Putting CHINA and USA to shame when the austronesians started building blockade on seas. Controlling every single boats and aircraft passing by. Or probably make the LARGEST TOLL GATE in the world.

I think if that happen they'll use Indonesia or Malay Johor-Riau Language to be lingua franca rather than English or Chinese-Cantonese. Malay Riau Languages already became lingua franca in Nusantara for century even Phippine used that language before Spain arrived.
Also i think Malay Johor-Riau or Bahasa Indonesia will be better to be Lingua Franca rather Cantonese, Mandarin or English, due some various reason:
1.Doesn't have a tense Past, or Future. (while English have a tense, past but no Future)
2.Doesn't have Feminime or Masculine
3.Pronunciation mostly completely Phonetic, except the letter "E" seriously, They should change or add some letter after "E" since they have 6 vocal. A, İ, U, I, O, E. (Even though is better than English Pronunciation)
4.They use Roman Script, of course is better than Mandarin-Cantonese Script.
5. Doesn't have Verb Conjugation, we use prefix-suffixes "Di, and Ter" so no Verb Conjugation.
6. Doesn't have Article. Is,am, Are, Were, Have + Be etc.
7.Doesn't have Tonal pronunciation. (Mandarin and Cantonese have Tonal pronunciation).
8. Plural are rarely used.
9. Easy to memorize vocabulary if you understand prefix and suffixes.

All of them thought they were the only one who existed in the universe. Ulilang Kaluluwa, who lived in the skies, claimed himself as the ruler. It was until he saw Bathala on earth, and asked him who he was. Bathala responded, "I'm Bathala. The ruler of the universe." Ulilang Kaluluwa got mad and challenged him to a duel. Bathala defeated the serpent-god. He then burned and buried his rival.
Bathala then met Galang Kaluluwa. Unlike Ulila, Gala was his friend. They lived happily together until Gala got sick and death is inevitable. Before he died he asked Bathala for the last time to bury him the same place where Ulila was. Gala knew that Bathala dreamed to create mankind but he can't support them.
When Gala was buried beside Ulila, a tree sprouted. Bathala reminded of its leaves with Gala's wings, and its trunk with Ulila's serpent body. The tree then made Bathala's dream came true in creating humanity. It is then called as the 'Tree of Life' which supports mankind of all its needs. People then considered coconut a very sacred tree.

There was an actual steps or effort taken to realise this in the early 50s. It's called Maphilindo (Malaysia, Phillipines and Indonesia). In the end due to the difficulty of administration, political difference and economic disparity, was not realised.
Not as big as the video example but close enough. A country with around 40k island is a challenge to run as each island or chains of island are diverse in their own culture.
With enough strong-arming from China they could probably have a go at it again. 😝
That's why it had to be "UNITED"

I wanted to recommend something to you it’s a (Hetalia Axis Powers fan-fiction) comic and the name of the comic is “Maaf” it’s creator is by the username of “dinosaurusgede” I looked into this person’s profile on DeviantArt and you can see a lot of her artwork there on the website that I told you to look up to see for your self
It’s Fan-fiction about the history of Maritime Southeast Asia from the pre-colonial phase to WWll; I am only saying the premise of the comic though and it’s really cool the way she portrays the characters who are actually personifications of countries with their own personality and if you wanted to know WHY it reflects the historicity of the country that they are supposed to personify
Let me know what you think when you have understand the story and seeing that you are probably interested in the aforementioned countries it can help you understand their respective histories way easier
You need to include kemboja, Champa and south thailand
It make sense, i met my friend from Madagascar and i always thought he looks like a common Filipino too 😊
Thank you for including my fellow Pacific islanders in your videos again!!!
Who are you referring to pacific islander?
@@christianxhanyou5729 he's referring to melanesia, micronesia and polynesia, (pacific islanders)
In July 1963 then President Diosdado Macapagal held a Manila Summit aiming the formation of MAPHILINDO (Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia), it was a proposed then a nonpolitical confederation of the three Southeast Asian countries. It has short lived because of the member nations difference in political and territorial agenda. If this differences were truly address like what the current ASEAN organization is doing, there might be a higher chance that this Region of the world can be a force to reckon with.
@AhmadFahimi MohdMohiden precisely, that is why we cannot come up with a united agenda towards regional stability. Both our countries have their own agenda. Maybe it may take us more years to attain a solid south east Asian region. I also think that because of numerous years being colony we somewhat lost our ability to rule ourselves.

Ja toch Nee it’s a shame that dispite austronesians having a diverse culture their histories are scarce ignored or looked downed upon which unfortunately austronesians do play a part in it as they further shift away from their cultural heritage in favor of another. were there inventors, excellent generals, and exporters in the island. We don’t that as austronesian history is limited to foreign influence, colonialism , and genocide, of your lucky you might get a reference of an indigenous kingdom, only of its influenced by a foreign culture as the mainstream narrative on indidgeous austronesian culture is seen as tribal and primitive while praising Native American culture (in the United States) as advanced and progressive. I’m sorry a glorified village and a primitive form of democracy does not convince me that native Americans (in the United States) are advanced
What a shame

I'm glad you mentioned that the word "Malay" in reference to the people of Southeast Asia etc was a misconception that "Austronesians" came from the Malay pen. I think that came up when the European colonizers didn't know what to make of this blob of brown people, speaking similar language with similar customs. There's only the one group of Austronesians who settled northern Philippines responsible for the spread of Austronesian language, culture, and some dna throughout the Pacific, all the way to Madagascar. The rest of the Austronesian groups remained in Formosa/Taiwan. The grouping of peoples, language, society and culture commonly called Malay-Polynesian, is really just that one group. It's better to refer to call this group of Austronesian peoples according to sub groups, e.g. Filipinos, Malays, Indonesians, Micronesians, Polynesians, Malagasy etc to be more accurate.

5. What phenotypes of Homo sapiens sapiens went extinct? What did they look like? This focuses more on physical traits of populations, not so much as cultural groups.
6. Type of thought experiment: what if a certain culture, civilization, population, or language group survived to today? And with the latter part with the language groups, what if they were a "united" country today?
7. Uralic Peoples (suggest again)
8. Esperanto Culture (suggest again)
9. Zoroastrianism population and culture in modern day (suggest again)
10. Doggerland
11. Jews of China
12. Corsica, Sardinia, and the Balearic Islands (Western Mediterranean) (suggest again)

Well he already did Mormons.
We are all either Malay, Javanese, Sundanese, Bugis, Dayak, Madura, Batak, Minang, Minahasa Moro. We are all one Austronesian nation from Madagascar, the peninsula of the archipelago to Hawaii, America. Even American Indians are thought to be our Austronesian people.
And in EU4, we would be called the "Empire of Malaya".

Rizal was one such who embodied the very height in definition of a filipino mestizo. he was mostly a mestizo de sangley, most his ethnic roots were hokkien chinese and native laguna tagalog on his father side, but on his mother side, it was tornatras with spanish, chinese, japanese, and native blood. he was culturally more spanish though, since he wrote mostly in spanish and was educated in spanish, literally traveled around the world, and politically leaned more to keeping ties with spain, for philippines to just be an official recognized province of spain rather than just some colony
I'm not gonna lie, that Pan Austronesian flag looks gorgeous!
Me 🇵🇬 after finding out my ancestors were Asian

Oh my god. This content is so extensive. I love it Masaman.
Fun fact: Most of Polynesian knows which numbers Talu and Lima are referring to
I'm Malay from Malaysia!
proud to be Austronesian!
All my life I've been dreaming that one day, we can interact with our brothers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and all other austronesian descent. Greeting each other and treating one another like a true brother and countrymen. A bond that's even greater than any other countries around the world. Will stand with each other in times of conflict from foreign aggression. Share and accept each other's culture and religion. Respects each others belief. We do not need to be one country to achieve that. Let's just form a much better austronesian union with one currency just like what President Marcos, Jose Rizal, Mabini and all other heroes before them dreamed.
Let's form a AU (Austronesian Union) with Austronesian Dollar as our official currency.
Marcos? LMAO
@@ollieiscute4853 just know your History will yah?
@@elvinbertcorvera1884 I have learned my history and sadly I have learned the cruelty Marcos has done during his dictatorial years. Now, if you are going to say the positive outcomes the Marcos administration has done during his early term, don't. I already know that he build infractures and made the Philippines economy boomed but contrary to that I also know the amount of debts he has put our country after his terms. Lol Imelda Marcos even has the largest collections of expensive shoes all over the world. It was proved that Marcos was corrupt and a dictator. Don't you ever freaking tell me that I'm a fan of Aquino just because I despise Marcos because I am not. I am not a fan of any political colors. Plus if you're going to tell me that history books are the product of the Aquinos. Don't, damn it. Edsa Revolution happened because a lot of Filipinos back then are not happy with Marcos leadership. If you're going to tell me that the revolution was influenced by Aquino, don't. Because how the fuck can Aquino influence all of them? They are the one's who have experienced it and you have no right to criticize their actions that saved you from being under a dictatorial rule.
@@ollieiscute4853 I can't help but laugh.😂
You've had too much internet today. Take a break stay out of the web for a while.
@@elvinbertcorvera1884 Lol you should learn and read some books. Okay? Bet you're reading articles and fake news from Mocha Uson. Lmao.
In my opinion if Austronesia unites, it'll be a bit of a threat to East Asia since the maritime trade route passes through us and the control may depend upon the Austronesian authorities. And the tension at the south china sea might be intensified. What do you think?
You have missed, significant austronesian community (Javanese) in Suriname (South America)
Javanese is austroasiatic just do some research.. then the rest of indonesia is austronesia and melanesia
@@mongkonaibarat2607 Salah besar.
@@mongkonaibarat2607 But Javanese Language is classified into Austronesian Language, bot Austro Asiatic Language.

The Flag of the United Austronesia is inspired by the Philippine flag! 😍 6:32

Hi Masaman, I think focus on foreign minorities in each Southeast Asian nation as well as their integration would be a good video. For example, the Hokkien Chinese in the Philippines and the Punjabi and Sindhi Indians (yes, the Philippines has a small Indian diaspora) would be interesting, and their integration to the mainstream. I can provide some internet sources that I have found over the months
please tell me more about the Indians in the Philippines! I only heard about the 5/6 money lending stereotype.
In Indonesia in coastal cities like Medan and Jakarta Indians are a very insignificant minority in comparison to the Chinese.
@@kykale they're integrated. I meet people who kinda look like they have South Asian blood, but they're very Filipino in culture. Same with the Chinese in the Philippines. Many don't even consider themselves Chinese anymore.
@@j134679 Lies
Integration of Indians is thoroughly vivid in Bikol a southern part of Luzon one of the three major Islands of the Philippines( I've read the article once) where they have this local epic called Ibalong. A story of sailor from India, who became a local settler and a hero as well . Also he initiates cultural development as well as progress in various form like farming and hunting; and teach locals the skills in making tools for better way of hunting during Iron Age.
P.S. Anyone can add inputs or corrections to my info stated above, feel free to express it..
Yeah, the Punjabi and Sindhi are a visible presence here but it seems we mostly know them as moneylenders.
Alright thank you, I am Indonesian, thats explain why a lot of people mistake me as a Native Hawaiian when I was in Hawaii last year, I am Indonesian born and bred my father is Dayaknese of central borneo, and my mom is Banjarese of South Borneo.
