Great video. Glad to see you made it to this part of the world. Btw, you left out the Cham in Vietnam and Cambodia. They are the remnants of a Malay kingdom that made up most of South Vietnam and was conquered by the Vietnamese in 1471. Their culture is still pretty much Malay and their language is mostly mutually intelligible with standard Malay. Numbering at 300k, they are a fairly large minority group in Indochina.
I was born and raised in Phuket my family background descended from Malaysia a long time ago and most of people in my neighborhood have Malay heritage too
Malaysian is a nationality, malay is an ethnicity. Please do not confuse them. A chinese living in Malaysia is classified as a Malaysian however a malay living in Singapore is Singaporean.
Malaysia and it's people are hard to beat. We have been here four times . Malaysia is always in the back of my mind . We will return again . Penang and Tioman island on the peninsula is a must to spend time . Borneo , were ever you go is a stunner . Love Malaysia and it's people.
Not sure whether you guys have been to Pahang and Terengganu, but you should try them if you haven't. They are quite under rated as compared to KL, Penang, and even Borneo. Both have the longest stretch of beach in Malaysia and perhaps some of the most stunning ones too. And the plus side is, not many people hangout on some part of the beaches. But be cautious and don't swim in Terengganu because the steep shores have claimed many innocent lives. However, you can find beautiful islands with pristine beaches that you can swim, snorkel, scuba diving and even just relax (sunbathing) in Terengganu such as Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Kapas, and Pulau Lang Tengah (pulau literally means island). But if you are short of time, you can swim straight away in Cherating beach which is located in Pahang. The ambience in these Eastern Coasts of Peninsular Malaysia can be so laid back and you can experience the "Kampung" (village/country side) hospitality if you try your best to mix around with the locals. And if you guys happened to have more time, try to visit Kelantan state as well to complete your East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia trip. Hope you guys will be back to Malaysia when this pandemic ends.
Lived in Kuala Lumpur for 8 years when I was very young, there was a beauty in Malaysia simply unmatched by anywhere else in the world i've been. Culturally, as well as environmentally. One of the top 10 countries to live and work in, in my opinion.
Great timing of the video as we,Malaysians are celebrating the independence on 31st Aug. Thanks for our short history of Malaysia. Come and visit us more Masaman
I'm from Malaysia. I had no idea that Champa consideres themselves or are considered Malay. So I did some searching and found this: th-cam.com/video/6FyGSTZJx6g/w-d-xo.html. I must say you sound a lot like Malaysians. Indonesian dialect sound very distinctly different. But listening to Champa Vietnamese in this video I wouldn't know they aren't Malaysians Malays.
Hi there. I'm fans of yours for long time. At last, u made this video..🤗 Really appreciate it. I'm Malaysian, half malay and javanese. You should make a video about history of Malay archipelago includes of Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Southern Thailand and Philippines. The empires, culture, gen, languages etc. Anyway thanks for making this great video since we will celebrating our national day on 31st of August. Thank you!! Great job man
Well, he did a video about Austronesians a few months ago, it seems to be largely about Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines but also includes the Pacific and Madagascar.
Hello Mohd, i am from the Philippines and i was just curious about the lessons being taught to you there in Malaysia about the origins of Malays and Bumiputera people. Here in the Philippines, children are being taught a theory that various waves of Malays and Indonesians migrated to present-day Philippines and thus became the ancestors of Filipinos. The author of that theory was Otley Beyer, an American professor who migrated to the Philippines during the 18th century and thus many Filipinos believe that we are considered "Malay". However, thanks to the works of William Henry Scott and recent, more accurate research findings, Beyer's theory was rejected and the Austronesian "Out of Taiwan" theory became more accepted. Unfortunately, despite many accurate proof of the Austronesian theory, many Filipinos cannot let go of the Otley Beyer theory and still refer to themselves as "Malay/Malayan".
@@karlos_infamous Hello Pascual. Salamat. That's is how we being taught, two theories about origin of the Malay and those still being debated. I do agree theory that our ancestors are not came from Taiwan. And recent research mentioned there are possibilities that Malay ancestors migrated to Taiwan since the Malay before well known as seafarer.
There's a noble family name in Samoa (where I'm from) called 'Meleisea'. Samoa is the cradle of Polynesia and was settled around 1000 BC. This might give you a clue to the meaning and antiquity of the name Malaysia, as Samoans and Polynesians in general are part of the Austronesian family.
I don't think so. The word 'Malaysia' is not a word from malay language. The word was Invented by Western anthropologist. Other than that the name 'Malay' itself is the English name for our race. In our language, we are 'Melayu',
Strangely enough, by Western scientists adding the suffix "sia" after the word "Malay" (I just Googled it), they might have accidentally stumbled on the original meaning of the name Malay via the Samoan culture. On the Island of Savai'i in Samoa, there exists the oldest monumental structure in the South Pacific called "Pulemelei". It's a pyramid or mound made out of rocks. When curious foreigners ask the locals about its meaning some reply that long ago the mound was used as a platform for catching birds, likely reasoning this because they are associating the Samoan word for Trap/Snare "Mailei" with the "Melei" in Pulemelei. But I think Masaman's connection between the Tamil word for mountain "Malai Ur" and the word "Malay" lies behind the name and meaning of the word Pulemelei. Pule in Samoan means Chief or Leader, so if Melei really means Mountain/Hill, then Pulemelei would mean "Mountain of the Chief".
The oldest living human in Malaysia is "Perak Man" who are 11,000 years old. Malaysian government even give him identification card. He is of "Australomelanesoid" race.
Did they give him a pension too? because that's one old dude still living in Malaysia. I was referring more to cultural communication (i.e. symbolic meaning through sound and image) over space and time than anything solely physical.
Malaysian and Indonesian are nationalities. Saying some Malaysian has Indonesia heritage is kind of absurd considering every ethnicity can be Malaysian and Indonesian by law. I am an ethnic Malay with Minang and Javanese heritage residing in Malaysia. That doesn't make me having "Indonesian" heritage because my Minang ancestors migrated to Malay Peninsula before the existence of both Malaysia and Indonesia. Malay, Chinese, Tamil are ethnicities. Malaya is a region also known as Peninsular Malaysia. The reasons we are Malaysians, Indonesians, Singaporeans and Bruneians today is because of colonialism. We're the same people, or atleast we're all Malayic, descendants of the Austronesians.
@@randomcat4940 listen look and read my lips, even you was born in my house THAT DOES NOT MEAN MY HOUSE WILL BECOME YOUR HOUSE OKAY, SO YOU NEEDED TO WENT BACK WHERE YOUR ANCESTOR WAS BELONG TOO OK THAT IS YOUR TRUE HOUSE.
The Cape Malays are most interesting to me, I got to hear some of their traditional music and it's an interesting blend of Malay, African and Dutch folk music.
Ptolemy said "Chryse Chersonesos @ Golden Chersonese @ peninsular of Gold", Sanskrit name "Suvarnabhumi" means "Lands of Gold"...meanwhile in Biblical sources mentioned about Mount Ophir.... its refers to Peninsular of Malaysia in modern day 🇲🇾🇲🇾
Lol as sumatran malays and i'm just lol with ur videos. You definitely cannot differentiate between Malays and Malaysian. Indonesian, Malaysian are Nationality. Malays is an ethnic groups which is native in both Malaysia and Indonesia. You can be both Indonesian and Malays or Malaysian and Malays. Fyi the homeland of ethnic Malays are in Sumatra, INDONESIA. The oldest written record of Malay language are Kedukan Bukit Inscription in South Sumatra, INDONESIA. And in Sumatra, INDONESIA there are more than 20 sub ethnic Malays such as : 1. Jambi Hilir Malays 2. Minangkabau Malays (Mine) 3. Kampar Malays 4. Kuantan Malays 5. Rokan Malays 6. Siak Malays 7. Coastal Riau Malays 8. Palembang Malays (Forefather of All Malays in both Sumatra and Malaysia, Founder of Srivijaya and Malacca Sultanate) 9. Kerinci Malays 10. Jambi Hulu Malays 11. Lubu-Ulu Malays 12. Tamiang Malays 13. Deli-Langkat Malays 14. Bangka Malays 15. Belitung Malays 16. Serawai Malays 17. Ogan Malays 18. Lembak Malays 19. Asahan-Batubara Malays 20. West Sumatran Coastal Malays 21. Muko Muko Malays 22. Banyuasin Malays 23. Pekal Malays 24. Rawa Malays 25. Aneuk Jamee Malays 26. Rawas Malays 27. Penghulu Malays 28. Batin Malays 29. Sakai-Rimba Malays 30. Bengkulu Malays 31. Pasemah Malays 32. Sekayu Malays 33. Inderagiri Malays Etc You can search all of them on google or youtube to see their language and song. They are Sub Ethnic Groups of Malays in Sumatra, INDONESIA. Malays lives in West Sumatra, Riau, North Sumatra, Aceh, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Bangka-Belitung province. Each of them have their own dialect but still based on Malay Language. Actually there are some other ethnicities that lives in Sumatra sides by sides with Malays such as Lampung, Komering, Rejang, Mandailing, Batak, Simalungun, Gayonese, Acehnese, Kluet, Simeleue, Nias, Mentawai, Karo, Pakpak, Angkola, Silindung people and of course Javanese people.
Hey can you do a video on Southern Chinese vs Northern Chinese? Like how similar or different they are between each other and to the nearby ethnic groups like Korean, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Lao and Burmese.
Yes..the historian say that part of southern china was an astronesian people before they migrated to taiwan and become great master navigator to spread across the indian ocean and the pacific..i want to know what happen to this people after han people move to southern part of china
@@mosalah8551 Southern Han today are believed to be a mixture of Northern Han and Baiyue (indigenous peoples of Southern China) who were probably the ancestors of modern Southeast Asians. Also, Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia are mostly of Southern Chinese stock. I don't know if u notice it, there are a number of Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia who can be mistaken for Malays. I hope this explains.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 Cantonese people is from the northern part of china,they are one han or mongoloid race..the southern part china is belong to Austronesian people,they are different from Han people including the cantonese..Southern part of China is the native anchestor land for Austronesian people before they spread across the SE asia,Pacific ocean and indian ocean..They are trully master of the sea
@@mosalah8551 Well, the indigenous peoples in Southern part of China were collectively known as the Baiyue (Hundred Yue), they were heterogeneous, so not all of them spoke Austronesian language -- some of the tribes who were native to where Cantonese inhabited today spoke a Tai-Kadai language -- and the Zhuang people in Guangxi spoke a Tai-Kadai language too. Cantonese people today are quite genetically different from Northern Chinese, as they've extensive Tai-Kadai admixture. According to genetic studies, Cantonese people are mostly Han in terms of paternal lineage but mostly indigenous Yue in terms of maternal lineage.
Fantastic video! Glad to have found it. I am originally from Latin America, and have been living in Singapore and travelling extensively in South, Southeast and East Asia for the past 7 years. As a brown-skinned person, one of the most pleasant surprises when coming to this area was being able to travel in many of these countries and pass by a local by just saying a couple of words in Bahasa. Malays are warm, friendly, welcoming people, and because of all the mixing you mention it is that I can mingle and enjoy their culture, food and natural wonders. Yes, there are racial tensions everywhere, but for the most part people are wonderful. Now, one thing that is a bit of a blur is the concept of Melayu people, and how it has become entangled with Muslim identity over the past decades. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Southern Thailand (Songkhla, Satun, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat) is part of Malaysia in the past... At that time this country we call Malaya. thats area/region was under the rule of the kedah tua empire. It is ruled by the sultanate in the north of malaysia. But in 1821 the malay people had to fight against the Siamese empire and the British empire simultaneously. The war was called the war of the whisper. We fought 20 years against them. The two great powers were fighting against our country and nation. We finally are conquered by them. There have been numerous series of small wars and even post-war protests. Finally in 1911, our country and land were handed back to us. And these five territories have been permanently separated. as a result of the British colonial and siamese empire agreements at that time. Satun district (nicknamed "Setoi") is my village. Every year my people have to visit our own homeland in another country. History is never forgotten, but it is taught.
Bukan Malaysia..tapi part of kesultanan melayu bang..dulu X de Malaysia, Indonesia ni semua..semua kesultanan negeri melayu je..apa2 pun yg melayu jadi Tu tanah melayu
Man I love your work so much. I have followed this channel for about a year now and thank you for covering this topic. From some random half Malay-Javanese guy. Additional information about the Malays : the peninsular Malays is divided into 3 major sub-groups, that is the Malaccan/Johor Malays, the Kedahan Malays and the Pattani/Kelantan Malays.
Im a very proud malay girl😬😂😂 But i come from a heritage of Malay, Arab, Siamese & Minangkabau ( to be exact from Pagar Ruyung) .. What baffles me is, that my ancestors from Tanah Datar were all red haired, white skin, hazel/green eyes..how is that possible, Masaman? Only lately after mix marriages between many malay clans, the new generation of my Tanah Datar clan has light brown eyes..
Modern malay basically mix of Sundadonty Mongoloid + Australoid + Melanesian. Based on archeology finding "Perak Man" who live in Peninsular Malaysia 11,000 years ago is of "Australomelanesoid" race. So modern Malaysian Malay and ancient population of Malaysia are related.
Orang asli kat Malaysia semang dgn senoi tu austroasiatik..tapi bila tengok dna orang asli tu kita ada kaitan dgn diorang ..orang asli pun kata tok batin tulah orang asli orang Sakai ni orang melayu .melayu asli melayu tulen lah
As a Filipino, I’m just going to embrace the whole Malay tribe. When I was born in the USA, that ethnicity was on my birth certificate. Much of the food is so similar, music, our own Maranao tribe’s got cousins in Sabah. I’m traditionally from Mindanao, so theyre probably in my bloodline anyway. Maybe some Bajau-too as I like water sports 😂
Not long after I finished my high school, i was thinking about entering anthropology course in Malaysia. I knew our region has undiscovered history, possibly linking all the archipelago common ancestors. But, you know when old people wanted to control your life and saying learning about sociology does not bring food to table. Yep
Great video! But I'm pretty disappointed you didn't bring up Srivijaya, which was probably responsible for the early formation of the Malay nation and spread the language throughout the archipelago. Also, you seem to suggest that Islam in Indonesia is a stronger influence (albeit you did say parts of), however the majority of Indonesians (especially Javanese) practice a less stringent form of Islam.
I'm from East Malaysia! I'm half Indian and half Kadazan dusun. The Kadazan dusun tribe reside in North Borneo who are mostly Christian. People get confused if we are Malay but we're not. We even have our own language which is way different from Malay
They have a fascinating rotating monarchy system where there are nine families that rule each state and every state’s sultan has a chance to become king
Avery, I see comments from you on nearly every video I watch on TH-cam. I think we must have similar (and excellent) tastes! Respect from Australia mate ;)
My sister in law is Mountain Dyak from Sarawk, an indigenous people who converted to Christianity a hundred or so years back. I'd love to see more about Borneo's indigenous peoples!
Yes, the native ethnics on the North coast of Borneo are mostly Christian because of the spread of Christianity by the British colony. Btw I'm an Iban person
@@nickryan6787 Iban = Sea Dayak, language is very close to Bahasa Melayu-Indonesia(Malays), Urak Lawoi(Native of Phuket or in Malay Tanjung Salang and Krabi or Ayer Kelubi in Malay, now annex by Thai, Kedah lost Territory in 1820s, Urak=Orang, Lawoi=Laut, Urak Lawoi is not Orang Laut of South peninsular and Central Sumatra Riau, Riau archipelago, Bangka-Belitung and Jambi), Minangkabau, Banjar(Sub-Malay group of South Kalimantan).

I love this discussion since it refutes the popular notion in the Philippines that Filipinos came from Malaysia and Indonesia. I hope you could also do a video about the origin of Filipinos and the Philippine Language Family that included North Sulawesi, Orchid Island in Taiwan but excluded Filipino populations that speak Bornean languages. I am excited for your video about Eurasian groups in Asia.
I heard your President even wanted to change the country name to a more Malay oriented name as opposed to slaves of King Phillips of Spain. "Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte praised former leader Ferdinand Marcos on Monday for suggesting the country change its name to Maharlika, a Malay name, in an attempt to erase Spanish “conquest and subjugation.”
@@disyu3218 You are very misinformed like most die hard supporters of Duterte and Marcos. Maharlika was NEVER the original name of the Philippines. Before the arrival of the Spaniards, there were different competing tribes and rival kingdoms here. Now about Spanish colonization, it is hard to make sweeping statements like "we were slaves during the colonization." The history of colonization is NOT as simple as black-and-white.
@@ProximaCentauri88 it is simple enough if you read up. King Phillips even objected to his name being used for uncivilized people. haha You are still enslaved mentally. Most Asians have moved on. Catholicism is a thing of the past. Jose Rizal didn't died in vain...the Christians hanged him but it started the movement to expel Spanish people from maharlika. Duterte is smart. He knows cathlicss priests are bull shit.. that is why he is president while you are not.
Video/s about: Mapuches/Italians/Polynesians/central America/Polish/Indo-china/Russians/Greeks. Please do a video about them. And you rock, best TH-camr in this subject !!
If you like Greek history you should check out our subverted history on the Greeks and Hellens by asha logos. Fascinating. Talks a lot about the achaeans vs pelasgians vs Ionians, the primary 3 make ups of Greece.
@@HammerHeadzzz I just watched a little. Now, is it just me or is that whole channel a little alt-right crazy? I watched the scythian video and people are claiming a lot of crazy shit in the comments, slanted by their various personal ideologies, although so far the greek video seems ok. I'd rather the history videos that i watch remain factual, its why I don't watch afro-centrist videos where people claim everyone was black(although From Nothing's channel is good)
I was born in the south of Thailand and I checked my DNA for ethnicity. I found 68.7% Thai and Cambodian lineage, 19.1% South Asia, 12.2% Filipino, Indonesia, Malaysia. I think Malaysian people have about one of these 3 races.
Many times people get confused on the terms Malay, Malayan and Malaysian. Malaysian is a nationality regardless of ones ethnicity i.e. not all Malays are Malaysians, not all Malaysians are Malays. Malayan is the people of the country Malaya, the predecessor of Malaysia. Meanwhile Malay in Malaysia, as mentioned in the video in 8:20, is a "pan-ethnic group based on shared culture, language and religion", whereby Malaysians of Javanese, Buginese, Banjar, Minangkabau and even of Arab descents may (officially) be considered as Malay. Otherwise, Malay in Indonesia is a specific ethnic group, which concentrates mainly in Sumatera and Kalimantan. And then comes the term "(Greater) Malaysia" as mentioned in 7:04 which has its own connotation and context, but this is another story. As for the title of the video, I think the term Malays is technically more accurate instead of Malaysians, but I understand there may be reasons to use the term for this particular video title 👍👍
To say Malaya as the predecessor of Malaysia is debatable. One can argue that Malaysia only came into existence when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore together with Malaya formed the new federation.
@@fithri99 Thank you for pointing that out. I'm aware of the discussion. Perhaps I should have written "one of the forming members of Malaysia" or something like that. I just made it short to focus on the differences between those terms 👍
the most true real Malays is Malayans, Brunei, South Thailand, Malay Indonesian Mindanau Philipines ... and then other ethnic group like Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, Dayaks are not Malay They are a different group from language, culture and etc even physical appearance
@@kireinadesune2607 Malayan is geographical terms. A Chinese or Indian that resides in Malaya is a Malayan. Javanese/Bugis/etc are Malay in Malaysia falls under the term Melayu Dagang or literally 'trade Malay'.
One interesting aspect you did not cover: in South Africa we have the Cape Malays (who mostly originate from Dutch Batavia / Indonesia). Also, the Cape Coloureds have a significant admixture from the Cape Malays (often both are grouped together into one category). Sometimes it's hard to visually tell whether someone has more Khoisan or more Malay ancestry, because Khoisan and Malay share some physical traits (yellowish skin hue, eye folds). Check Patricia De Lille, a South African politician who is generally classified as Coloured, but clearly shares Malay ancestry.
Modern Japanese are Yoyoi people who migrated from Asia mainland (China, Korea, and Siberia) While Jomon people (ainu) are perhaps related to Austronesia. But only small number DNA of Austonesia found in modern Japanese, except Ainu people. Some theories stated that before Yayoi people migrated from Asia Mainland, there are some group of Austronesian people, called Hayato people migrated to Japan and assimilated to Jomon people
I'm really interested in the Semai people and their pretty unique in today's world way of social life. Although it may be a topic more suitable for a filosophy channel than an anthropological one.
Please do come to Malaysia. You would be more excited to encounter them personally and feel their living. Semai is only one sub-ethnic of more than 10 aborigine tribes here in Peninsular Malaysia. But most of them have been assimilated in greater Malay society, civilized and no longer live in a deep jungle. Some of them have entered into a tertiary education and owned career. The picture on what you see is for cultural purpose to attract the foreign guest and yes they still preserved their ancestral heritage. Don't get it wrong. They no longer wears skirt made of dry leaves or carrying any blowpipes. They dressed like us, wearing shoes, ride a motorcycle or drive a car. Their settlement comes proper bricked house with electricity and clean water, schools, groceries, community center, worship place and many others facility provided by the Malaysian Government under Department Aborigine Affairs. They are different with Brazilian's Amazon river tribe.
As a Javanese descent in Malaysia i wouldn't say that i have an "Indonesian" heritage because our ancestors came to the peninsular wayyy before Malaysia-Indonesia were even existed. Indonesian is a nationality.
Awang Hitam so does the same logic applied to the Malaysian “Chinese” as they should not be called “Chinese” heritage, rather than Cantonese/Hokkien/Hakka descent in Malaysia? If Malaysian Chinese is Chinese heritage, then you are as good as Indonesian Heritage.
@@rizukimura5409 How does the time of existence use to differentiate the geographical definition? Don't you see your own contradiction? Just saying that Roman Empire, once existed, conquered half European and north africa; and now Spanish and Egyptian are called the Romans?
@@rizukimura5409 same as people from "Indonesia" regardless of their clan, were called Indonesian! China as a national today have not existed when the so-called Chinese (Hakkas, Hokkien, etc) migrated to Malaysia, they are refered to as Qing Ming Empires etc. The so-called Chinese refers to themselves in Malaysia as the Tang descent! The word 'Chinese' is a Western misnomer, the word 'Malay' is also a Western misnomer. The actual/origin of Malay is just an ethnic in southeast of Sumatra. That's why Kelantanese in Malaysia dislikes the term Malay for themselves, it's just convenient. Then all the migrants from southeast asian countries (Bugis, Minangkabau, Cham from Vietnam, etc), arab (berber and circassians) and India-muslims came to Malaysia to settle down, and claimed they're Malay. Technically they are not. This is all political convenience to derive privileges

@@datukrajo1807 May I know how old are those Kedukans? I'm a Malaysian Malay and from my reading and understanding, not all Malays are originated from the Sumatera region. In fact, some of the oldest Malay kingdoms in Tanah Melayu, such as the "Kedah Tua", "Gangga Negara", "Chih Tu" and "Pan Pan" emerged as early as 2nd Century. And there have been some population of the Malay people in Tanah Melayu even before the rise of those kingdoms which I have mentioned earlier. You can check about "Tamadun Sungai Batu" articles, which sometimes can be very "highly heated" with claims from some Malaysian Indian (Tamil people trying to claim) that their ancestors are the ones who built those historical places, which of course is nonsense (Lol). In Tanah Melayu (Peninsular Malaysia), there are actually three types or categories of Malay people, but the majority of us here are not aware of this because we simply don't care much about it and it is not in our Constitution. Only those who are keen enough to study or read the history of Malaysia and its people will know it. The three types are: 1. Melayu Jati/Asal = These are the Malays which are the descendants from the old kingdoms which I have explained earlier (modern day Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Kelantan & Terengganu). 2. Melayu Dagang = These are the Malays of which their ancestors originated from Sumatera and its nearby islands. The majority of their descendants live in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and could also be found in Johor, Pahang and Perak as well. 3. Melayu Peranakan = These are the Malays of which their ancestors have mixed marriage between the Melayu Jati or Melayu Dagang with foreign settlers or traders which the majority of them originated from the India Muslim traders. You can find them in Pulau Pinang (Penang island). They are also known as "Mamak" or "Anak Mami". Some Melayu Peranakan have heritage from Pakistan, Arab, Persian, Chinese and many more. Besides Indian Muslim (and to some extend Pakistan), other Peranakans are not called as "Mamak" or "Anak Mami".
Can you suggest any good read on the subject? Especially on origin of the Malays (that covers anthropology, genetics and linguistics aspect i.e. Scientific standpoint).. Really loves your vids..
Thanks for this video. I am Filipino and it really annoys me when some of my countrymen label themselves as "Malay" - this is because a Philippine-based American anthropologist in the past incorrectly taught Filipinos that we are part of the "Malay Race". This "Malay Race" now translates to the Austronesian peoples, not the "Ethnic Malays" of Malaysia, Brunei, southern thailand, indonesia and Sg.
Yeah that's true. I once had a discussion with a Filipino that believes that he's Malay and I told him that we're not ethnic Malays and different from the Malays from Malaysia and parts of Indonesia and he started attacking me for being a Filipino-Canadian thus not a true Filipino. I also told him that we're related to the Taiwanese aborigines too but he told me that I am a Chinese wannabe even though I told him that the natives of Taiwan aren't Chinese.
@@quiasnoorzad unfortunately, many Filipinos are taught that "Malay Race" and "Ethnic Malay" are the same. The "Malay Race" was introduced by Otley Beyer and because the term "Austronesian" during his time was not in use, he chose "Malay" to name the groups of Filipinos, Indonesians, actual Malays and other natives of maritime Southeast Asia. So it would be more accurate to refer to Filipinos as "Austronesian" instead of "Malay race". Also, go to Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. The ethnic Malays of those countries will be surprised when they hear that Filipinos are Malay 🤣. Malay is an actual ethnicity where aside from race, language, customs, culture and religion matters. Yeah, its also funny when Filipinos (mostly Fil-Ams) claim that they're Polynesian/Pacific Islander.
As part of the diaspora, there are lots of Malaysians (regardless Malay or non-Malay) living in other commonwealth countries such as Australia, UK and Canada.
Not 100% accurate. Forgot the mention other races in Sarawak and Sabah who are distinctly different from the Malays. Some say those from east Malaysia are of Malay descendent ,which is far from the truth.
@@obuohsokadbatuh1831 But it is true tho. Only SOME of it came from Malay descendants, not all even i do have some muslim Sabahan and Sarawakian explain this to me so what are you even talking about?....

I've just been to Indonesia, and the ethnic make-up is very interesting. Some look classic "austronesian" while many you can clearly tell they something else as well. A lot of them have more melanesian traits, very atypical of other SE asians, some have more arabic traits as well. It's also very interesting to see that every island is basically its own country culturally, religiously and ethnically.
@@Dingdong2730 lol your comment, Indonesia is the most classic of Southeast Asia, and the phenotype of Indonesians such as a mixture of Southeast Asian and Chenese and the easternmost is Melanesia. yeah asutroasiatic thais, austronesia taiwan, tibetan chinese and melanesian with some arab , indian in indonesian looks and blood
There's no broadly agreed upon origin for the word. Malay is Melayu in the language so the similarities with Malai might be circumstantial. Another theory is that the word comes from melayar (root word layar), which means to sail which makes sense as most Malays were either sailors or fishermen back in the day. Adding the prefix me- to a verb turns it into a continuous action. Interestingly, in Modern Malay, melayu (root word layu) means to wither.

Also, the four southern states of Thailand have a high proportion of Malays. This resulted from a war between the Sultan of Kedah in Malaysia and Thailand in which the British supported Thailand.
British never supposed Thailand. Siam is neutral and they expand to the south for a long time since British did’t come to the area. Siam even lost Kalantan,Trungkanu, Saiburi and Palis to British if no them those provinces will be in Thailand.
@@aluckystar4458 "Siam was neutral" is a fiction. Siam was an ally of the UK and later of Japan. The Sultan of Kedah leased Penang (1786) and then Province Wellesley to the British at the end of the 18th century. Thailand invaded Kedah in 1821 and Kedah remained under Thai control under the name of Syburi. URL: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siamese_invasion_of_Kedah In 1896, Kedah along with Perlis and Setul was combined into the Thai province of Monthon Syburi which lasted until transferred to the British by the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909. Later, Kedah became an "unfederated Malay state". In World War II, Kedah (along with Kelantan) was the first part of Malaya to be invaded by Japan. The Japanese returned Kedah to their Thai allies who had it renamed Syburi, but it returned to British rule after the end of the war. Kedah joined the Federation of Malaya in 1948.
Fred When I said neutral I mean British never support Siam to get those Malay provinces but Siam invaded to those provinces by themselves never got any support from British but when British came Siam negotiate and gave those provinces to British who colonized Malaysia at that time that why you get those provinces back if not because of British Kalantan, trungkanu, Saiburi and Palis will be part of Thailand.
@jumps over 1st there no such thing as hindu imperialist because hindu is religion not a kingdom. 2nd the oldest record of the term malay or melayu can be found in greek, chinese and indian record. all of their record referring malay as a geography region and a kingdom and not about the group of people.this most likely referring to kingdom name melayu kingdom which llater absorbed and replace by srivijaya kingdom. the word malayu also used to build a new kingdom name melayapura in 13 century in padang sumatra. how can u say the immigrants from sumatra indonesia is not malay when the center of malay people itself located in sumatra. the orang asli negrito rarely have contact with outside world. they are normadic and hunter gather and dont practice agriculture until 20 century. they never adopting any hindu culture and ideology. there are nothing to cover up. please dont bring politic here.
@jumps over majapahit is javanese kingdom located in java indonesia, kalingga is also a javanese kingdom located in java indonesia. i never heard about asokan kingdom, but i know about maurya empire that used to be ruled by ashoka. srivijaya kingdom is a malay kingdom. the kedudukan bukit inscription which the oldest inscription written in malay clasical language found in jambi which the capital of srivijaya at that time. the inscription talk about about king who happy with soldier who return from the war to srivijaya capital. what other prove do u want ?
@jumps over You do not know anything about malay. History of malays are over 1000 years old. Malay is ethnicity that has rule the Malay Archipelago from land of sumatera, south thai, south viet, south cambodia, malay peninsular, borneo, filipina, singapore and other island in indonesia provinces. Orang asli is malay bumiputera who do not socialise with modern time and keep their old religion. Malay modern today are describing as muslim, speak malay languange and practice malay culture. Thus not include term of malay race as people that live in southeast region and other country. Please do not say anymore, otherwise you will insulting the malays. Answer for your question why there are no details about hindu kingdom. First of all, there is no hindu kingdom. There are only malay and java kingdom. Historically, most of the kingdom in details are budhhas. If any hindus culture on those time, you should ask the portuguese and dutch who destroy our malay historic. Yes our ancestor may have been hindus, but it doesnt show that we are came from indian or china. But for surely, indian and chinese in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore are originally not from here. "Say God is one, He is absolute and eternal, He does not beget nor begotten, He has no partner or none equal to Him"
Would there be a Malaysian population in the Guianas of South America, as the British and Dutch have colonies in what is now Guyana and Suriname respectively?
Ethnic Javanese make up almost 15% of the population of Suriname. The rest of the Guianas are mostly Afro-Caribbean. On a side note, a quarter of Suriname is ethnic Indian. Food is insanely good in that part of South America! Lol
Very indepth information. Thanks. Out of curiosity, can I ask if the word Malay actually comes from Malayalam? Part of that world was once influence by Hinduism. Why is Himalaya, the mountain belt up north thousand of miles called Hi Malaya? Just coined by the British? I know the local call mountains as Himal so "alaya" was just added? Some people downunder call Australia as Australaya. Must be addition of just "alaya". Sounds Arabic...
I half Malay, half Bugis, half Banjarese, half Indian, half Acehnese. But i identified myself as fully Malay. That is how unique and complicated the Malay race is xD.
The Malaysians are ostensibly similar to the Indonesians in language and culture. But upon closer observation, I noticed that Malaysian population is far more diverse, especially phenotypically.
As a Chinese Indonesian with some mixed raced heritage (Hakka, Teochew/Cantonese, Acehnese, Mandailing, and British), I gotta say it's the other way around. For 'foreign orientals' as they were classified in colonial times, there's the Chinese Indonesians (mostly Southern Chinese), Indian Indonesians (mostly Tamil and Sindhi), and Arab Indonesians (mostly from Hadhramaut, Yemen). There's also European Indonesians (mostly mixed raced from several different nationalities like Dutch, French, or British. But also some full blooded European settlers in the past). Those with family origins in colonial times mostly relocated to Europe, the US, Canada, and Australia. But a new generation is present in Indonesia from mixed marriages with western expats. Within the 'native' or bumiputera/pribumi population there's hundreds of diffrerent ethnic groups. Mostly Austronesian Indonesians like Batak or Makassaran, but there's also the Melanesian Indonesians from Papua and Maluku. Some names of famous Indonesian and their diverse ancestry; - Rich Brian (rapper of Chinese Heritage) - Irfan Bachdim (soccer player of Arab and Dutch heritage) and his wife Jennifer Kurniawan (model of Chinese and German heritage) - Pubjabi brothers (arguably Indonesia's most known producers of Sindhi heritage) - Basuki Tjahaja Purnama aka Ahok (former governor of Hakka Chinese heritage) - Harbrinderjit Singh Dillon (politician of Sikh heritage) - Nadiem Makarim (Founder of one of Indonesia's top start ups; Gojek. Of Arab heritage) So there is tons of diversity in Indonesia. Even phenotypically. In the first place it's not possible for such a huge population of 264 million people spanning 17,000 islands to be a monolith.
@@TJSakowski Yeah. Important to note that Indonesian society can be pretty fragmented. Eg. A Balinese person may be in a circle of mostly Balinese and not have interactions with other Indonesians. Personally, I grew up with mostly Chinese, Indians, and Eurasians around me. Of course I knew some other Indonesian groups like Javanese and Arab. But these were mostly domestic helpers or family acquaintances.
@@wakakabravo7998 Yes, to an extent. Indonesia has hundreds of regional languages called 'bahasa daerah.' There's also language of ethnic groups called 'bahasa suku.' For strangers, usually you use Bahasa Indonesia. But if you know the person speaks the same bahasa daerah or bahasa suku as you, then you just use that. For example, people will ask where you're from in Bahasa Indonesia. And if you're both from Central Java, then usually you switch to speaking Javanese. My family are Chinese from West Borneo, where the bahasa suku is Tiociu and Hakka. So if we run into someone who shares those bahasa suku, then we just speak that.
Wow very interesting topic 👌to b more accurate I think we need someone well versed or historians to clearly about this topic 👌as for now let’s keep south east asia the best destination for tourism👌
Correction..Malay doesnt originated from Sumatra..we are Island people whereby intermix were extremely common at that time. Yes you can find more Malay in Indonesia than in Malaysia but the peninsular of Malaysia was sacred being the only strip of the Malay archipelago that is still attached to the Asia continent and was the first ancient kingdom in the world. Infact, the rainforest in Malaysia is the oldest rainforest in the world ( older than amazon) .20 000 years ago were 1 land called Sunda Continent (malaya/borneo/singapore/indonesia/ phillipine) however a huge volcanic eruption and earthquake had causes the land broke into many islands we know today.. Edit: south china sea (SEA) in between borneo and peninsular of Malaysia and Phillipine were originally called Sunda sea. After colonisation of the European the name changed to SEA. China is currently disputing the territory with Phillipne and Malaysia despite the location is clearly in favor of Malaysia/Phillipine as this sea contains high quality minerals ie petroleum
Great Video! So, I’m Filipino American and speak Ilocano. My grandparents growing up identified as Malays. When they were growing up, being “Filipino” at least for Ilocano people was still something they were being taught in school.
In Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). People who are called Malays are people who culturally and religiously adhere to Islam and are subject to the Sultanate. In Indonesia, the Iban and Bidayuh of Western Borneo, even though their language belongs or more related to the Malayic language group, but because they are not Muslim and culturally do not practice the sultanate islamic culture, they are generally categorized as 'Dayak', like other non-malayic speaking group of inland Borneo (Ngaju-Otdanum group, Apokayan group, Murut Group, Kelabit-Lundayeh/Apoduat group, Ma'anyan-Lawangan group, and Punan group).
You need to do an update on your info , genetics testing have improved preatly, the fact that the people of the Andaman Island are proven to be more closely related to Africans and previously thought, they are actually the first wave of people that came out of Africa, that being D2 haplogoup which the C1 haplogoup (Andaman Islandders) are descended from.
Not matter what malay you a you still malay...You have malay blood... From komboja, vietnam, thai, Malaysia, indonesia and filipina we all malayyyy rumpun melayu... Inshallah one day we all will be one ///
3:59 The indigenous explanation for the name Malay or 'Melayu' is that they used to be refugees (layu = to run, me- or ma-: prefix for verbs). Namely that of King Parameswara, who once was a prince who fled Palembang, South Sumatra.
Name malay from old kedah and peninsula is malai kolon or mala(malay) +ur(islam) not sematra if you see meaning malay from various ethnic like jambi=malayu is name malayu Kingdom, tamil=malai(the mountain) , jawa=mlayu(run), suluk/sepanyol=malayo(far away), Iban=malayu(Sea), tagalog=malayu(freedom), yawi/jawi/jawa from Kelantan and Champa Language is king malay or malay, aceh=melayu(merdeka or freedom)
Actually, Pulau Ujong is still the name for the main island of Singapore, the old name for Singapore is Temasek, but since Sang Nila Utama's rule, the territory has been known as Singapore (or Singapura in Malay). But this is an etymological heritage that almost none of us Singaporeans know about either lol.

They are the remnants of a Malay kingdom that made up most of South Vietnam and was conquered by the Vietnamese in 1471. Their culture is still pretty much Malay and their language is mostly mutually intelligible with standard Malay. Numbering at 300k, they are a fairly large minority group in Indochina.

Malaysia and it's people are hard to beat. We have been here four times . Malaysia is always in the back of my mind . We will return again . Penang and Tioman island on the peninsula is a must to spend time . Borneo , were ever you go is a stunner . Love Malaysia and it's people.
Not sure whether you guys have been to Pahang and Terengganu, but you should try them if you haven't. They are quite under rated as compared to KL, Penang, and even Borneo. Both have the longest stretch of beach in Malaysia and perhaps some of the most stunning ones too. And the plus side is, not many people hangout on some part of the beaches. But be cautious and don't swim in Terengganu because the steep shores have claimed many innocent lives. However, you can find beautiful islands with pristine beaches that you can swim, snorkel, scuba diving and even just relax (sunbathing) in Terengganu such as Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Kapas, and Pulau Lang Tengah (pulau literally means island). But if you are short of time, you can swim straight away in Cherating beach which is located in Pahang. The ambience in these Eastern Coasts of Peninsular Malaysia can be so laid back and you can experience the "Kampung" (village/country side) hospitality if you try your best to mix around with the locals. And if you guys happened to have more time, try to visit Kelantan state as well to complete your East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia trip. Hope you guys will be back to Malaysia when this pandemic ends.

Hello Mohd, i am from the Philippines and i was just curious about the lessons being taught to you there in Malaysia about the origins of Malays and Bumiputera people. Here in the Philippines, children are being taught a theory that various waves of Malays and Indonesians migrated to present-day Philippines and thus became the ancestors of Filipinos. The author of that theory was Otley Beyer, an American professor who migrated to the Philippines during the 18th century and thus many Filipinos believe that we are considered "Malay".
However, thanks to the works of William Henry Scott and recent, more accurate research findings, Beyer's theory was rejected and the Austronesian "Out of Taiwan" theory became more accepted. Unfortunately, despite many accurate proof of the Austronesian theory, many Filipinos cannot let go of the Otley Beyer theory and still refer to themselves as "Malay/Malayan".
@@karlos_infamous Hello Pascual. Salamat. That's is how we being taught, two theories about origin of the Malay and those still being debated. I do agree theory that our ancestors are not came from Taiwan. And recent research mentioned there are possibilities that Malay ancestors migrated to Taiwan since the Malay before well known as seafarer.
There's a noble family name in Samoa (where I'm from) called 'Meleisea'. Samoa is the cradle of Polynesia and was settled around 1000 BC. This might give you a clue to the meaning and antiquity of the name Malaysia, as Samoans and Polynesians in general are part of the Austronesian family.
I don't think so. The word 'Malaysia' is not a word from malay language. The word was Invented by Western anthropologist. Other than that the name 'Malay' itself is the English name for our race. In our language, we are 'Melayu',
Strangely enough, by Western scientists adding the suffix "sia" after the word "Malay" (I just Googled it), they might have accidentally stumbled on the original meaning of the name Malay via the Samoan culture. On the Island of Savai'i in Samoa, there exists the oldest monumental structure in the South Pacific called "Pulemelei". It's a pyramid or mound made out of rocks. When curious foreigners ask the locals about its meaning some reply that long ago the mound was used as a platform for catching birds, likely reasoning this because they are associating the Samoan word for Trap/Snare "Mailei" with the "Melei" in Pulemelei. But I think Masaman's connection between the Tamil word for mountain "Malai Ur" and the word "Malay" lies behind the name and meaning of the word Pulemelei. Pule in Samoan means Chief or Leader, so if Melei really means Mountain/Hill, then Pulemelei would mean "Mountain of the Chief".
Or the word Pulemelei could mean Chief Mountain, or Supreme Mountain/Hill instead.
The oldest living human in Malaysia is "Perak Man" who are 11,000 years old. Malaysian government even give him identification card. He is of "Australomelanesoid" race.
Did they give him a pension too? because that's one old dude still living in Malaysia. I was referring more to cultural communication (i.e. symbolic meaning through sound and image) over space and time than anything solely physical.
Keep it up... Very useful and helpful advice... Happy.
Malaysian and Indonesian are nationalities. Saying some Malaysian has Indonesia heritage is kind of absurd considering every ethnicity can be Malaysian and Indonesian by law. I am an ethnic Malay with Minang and Javanese heritage residing in Malaysia. That doesn't make me having "Indonesian" heritage because my Minang ancestors migrated to Malay Peninsula before the existence of both Malaysia and Indonesia.
Malay, Chinese, Tamil are ethnicities.
Malaya is a region also known as Peninsular Malaysia.
The reasons we are Malaysians, Indonesians, Singaporeans and Bruneians today is because of colonialism. We're the same people, or atleast we're all Malayic, descendants of the Austronesians.

Lol as sumatran malays and i'm just lol with ur videos. You definitely cannot differentiate between Malays and Malaysian. Indonesian, Malaysian are Nationality. Malays is an ethnic groups which is native in both Malaysia and Indonesia. You can be both Indonesian and Malays or Malaysian and Malays. Fyi the homeland of ethnic Malays are in Sumatra, INDONESIA. The oldest written record of Malay language are Kedukan Bukit Inscription in South Sumatra, INDONESIA.
And in Sumatra, INDONESIA there are more than 20 sub ethnic Malays such as :
1. Jambi Hilir Malays
2. Minangkabau Malays (Mine)
3. Kampar Malays
4. Kuantan Malays
5. Rokan Malays
6. Siak Malays
7. Coastal Riau Malays
8. Palembang Malays (Forefather of All Malays in both Sumatra and Malaysia, Founder of Srivijaya and Malacca Sultanate)
9. Kerinci Malays
10. Jambi Hulu Malays
11. Lubu-Ulu Malays
12. Tamiang Malays
13. Deli-Langkat Malays
14. Bangka Malays
15. Belitung Malays
16. Serawai Malays
17. Ogan Malays
18. Lembak Malays
19. Asahan-Batubara Malays
20. West Sumatran Coastal Malays
21. Muko Muko Malays
22. Banyuasin Malays
23. Pekal Malays
24. Rawa Malays
25. Aneuk Jamee Malays

29. Sakai-Rimba Malays
30. Bengkulu Malays
31. Pasemah Malays
32. Sekayu Malays
33. Inderagiri Malays
Etc
You can search all of them on google or youtube to see their language and song. They are Sub Ethnic Groups of Malays in Sumatra, INDONESIA. Malays lives in West Sumatra, Riau, North Sumatra, Aceh, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Bangka-Belitung province. Each of them have their own dialect but still based on Malay Language.
Actually there are some other ethnicities that lives in Sumatra sides by sides with Malays such as Lampung, Komering, Rejang, Mandailing, Batak, Simalungun, Gayonese, Acehnese, Kluet, Simeleue, Nias, Mentawai, Karo, Pakpak, Angkola, Silindung people and of course Javanese people.

Hey can you do a video on Southern Chinese vs Northern Chinese? Like how similar or different they are between each other and to the nearby ethnic groups like Korean, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Lao and Burmese.
Yes..the historian say that part of southern china was an astronesian people before they migrated to taiwan and become great master navigator to spread across the indian ocean and the pacific..i want to know what happen to this people after han people move to southern part of china
@@mosalah8551 Southern Han today are believed to be a mixture of Northern Han and Baiyue (indigenous peoples of Southern China) who were probably the ancestors of modern Southeast Asians. Also, Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia are mostly of Southern Chinese stock. I don't know if u notice it, there are a number of Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia who can be mistaken for Malays. I hope this explains.
@@mosalah8551 Some people claim that Malays are related to the Cantonese people.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 Cantonese people is from the northern part of china,they are one han or mongoloid race..the southern part china is belong to Austronesian people,they are different from Han people including the cantonese..Southern part of China is the native anchestor land for Austronesian people before they spread across the SE asia,Pacific ocean and indian ocean..They are trully master of the sea
@@mosalah8551 Well, the indigenous peoples in Southern part of China were collectively known as the Baiyue (Hundred Yue), they were heterogeneous, so not all of them spoke Austronesian language -- some of the tribes who were native to where Cantonese inhabited today spoke a Tai-Kadai language -- and the Zhuang people in Guangxi spoke a Tai-Kadai language too.
Cantonese people today are quite genetically different from Northern Chinese, as they've extensive Tai-Kadai admixture.
According to genetic studies, Cantonese people are mostly Han in terms of paternal lineage but mostly indigenous Yue in terms of maternal lineage.
so informative
Fantastic video! Glad to have found it. I am originally from Latin America, and have been living in Singapore and travelling extensively in South, Southeast and East Asia for the past 7 years. As a brown-skinned person, one of the most pleasant surprises when coming to this area was being able to travel in many of these countries and pass by a local by just saying a couple of words in Bahasa. Malays are warm, friendly, welcoming people, and because of all the mixing you mention it is that I can mingle and enjoy their culture, food and natural wonders. Yes, there are racial tensions everywhere, but for the most part people are wonderful. Now, one thing that is a bit of a blur is the concept of Melayu people, and how it has become entangled with Muslim identity over the past decades. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Southern Thailand (Songkhla, Satun, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat) is part of Malaysia in the past... At that time this country we call Malaya. thats area/region was under the rule of the kedah tua empire. It is ruled by the sultanate in the north of malaysia.
But in 1821 the malay people had to fight against the Siamese empire and the British empire simultaneously. The war was called the war of the whisper.
We fought 20 years against them. The two great powers were fighting against our country and nation. We finally are conquered by them.
There have been numerous series of small wars and even post-war protests. Finally in 1911, our country and land were handed back to us. And these five territories have been permanently separated. as a result of the British colonial and siamese empire agreements at that time. Satun district (nicknamed "Setoi") is my village. Every year my people have to visit our own homeland in another country. History is never forgotten, but it is taught.

Not long after I finished my high school, i was thinking about entering anthropology course in Malaysia. I knew our region has undiscovered history, possibly linking all the archipelago common ancestors. But, you know when old people wanted to control your life and saying learning about sociology does not bring food to table.
Yep
Great video! But I'm pretty disappointed you didn't bring up Srivijaya, which was probably responsible for the early formation of the Malay nation and spread the language throughout the archipelago. Also, you seem to suggest that Islam in Indonesia is a stronger influence (albeit you did say parts of), however the majority of Indonesians (especially Javanese) practice a less stringent form of Islam.
You should do a full video on Belize!

I heard your President even wanted to change the country name to a more Malay oriented name as opposed to slaves of King Phillips of Spain.

@@disyu3218 You are very misinformed like most die hard supporters of Duterte and Marcos. Maharlika was NEVER the original name of the Philippines. Before the arrival of the Spaniards, there were different competing tribes and rival kingdoms here.
Now about Spanish colonization, it is hard to make sweeping statements like "we were slaves during the colonization." The history of colonization is NOT as simple as black-and-white.

Many times people get confused on the terms Malay, Malayan and Malaysian. Malaysian is a nationality regardless of ones ethnicity i.e. not all Malays are Malaysians, not all Malaysians are Malays. Malayan is the people of the country Malaya, the predecessor of Malaysia. Meanwhile Malay in Malaysia, as mentioned in the video in 8:20, is a "pan-ethnic group based on shared culture, language and religion", whereby Malaysians of Javanese, Buginese, Banjar, Minangkabau and even of Arab descents may (officially) be considered as Malay. Otherwise, Malay in Indonesia is a specific ethnic group, which concentrates mainly in Sumatera and Kalimantan. And then comes the term "(Greater) Malaysia" as mentioned in 7:04 which has its own connotation and context, but this is another story.
As for the title of the video, I think the term Malays is technically more accurate instead of Malaysians, but I understand there may be reasons to use the term for this particular video title 👍👍

To say Malaya as the predecessor of Malaysia is debatable. One can argue that Malaysia only came into existence when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore together with Malaya formed the new federation.
@@fithri99 Thank you for pointing that out. I'm aware of the discussion. Perhaps I should have written "one of the forming members of Malaysia" or something like that. I just made it short to focus on the differences between those terms 👍

You have a flair for Anthropology. You have done your research well. A good informative video on Malay diaspora
I believe many Malaysians would have a better understanding of our country after this video. Its origins and the diversity of cultures.
Malay Land also known as Land and Sea..because in ancient Malay is sea sailor...and they were so good in sea...
One interesting aspect you did not cover: in South Africa we have the Cape Malays (who mostly originate from Dutch Batavia / Indonesia). Also, the Cape Coloureds have a significant admixture from the Cape Malays (often both are grouped together into one category). Sometimes it's hard to visually tell whether someone has more Khoisan or more Malay ancestry, because Khoisan and Malay share some physical traits (yellowish skin hue, eye folds). Check Patricia De Lille, a South African politician who is generally classified as Coloured, but clearly shares Malay ancestry.

aborigine tribes here in Peninsular Malaysia. But most of them have been assimilated in greater Malay society, civilized and no longer live in a deep
jungle. Some of them have entered into a tertiary education and owned career.

Malays is an ethnic groups which is native in both Malaysia and Indonesia. You can be both Indonesian and Malays or Malaysian and Malays. Fyi the homeland of ethnic Malays are in Sumatra, INDONESIA. The oldest written record of Malay language are Kedukan Bukit Inscription in South Sumatra, INDONESIA.
And in Sumatra, INDONESIA there are more than 20 sub ethnic Malays such as :

You can search all of them on google or youtube to see their language and song. They are Sub Ethnic Groups of Malays in Sumatra, INDONESIA. Malays lives in West Sumatra, Riau, North Sumatra, Aceh, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Bangka-Belitung province. Each of them have their own dialect but still based on Malay Language.
Actually there are some other ethnicities that lives in Sumatra sides by sides with Malays such as Lampung, Komering, Rejang, Mandailing, Batak, Simalungun, Gayonese, Acehnese, Kluet, Simeleue, Nias, Mentawai, Karo, Pakpak, Angkola, Silindung people and of course Javanese people.

@@datukrajo1807 You meant to reply to another comment?
@@datukrajo1807 May I know how old are those Kedukans? I'm a Malaysian Malay and from my reading and understanding, not all Malays are originated from the Sumatera region. In fact, some of the oldest Malay kingdoms in Tanah Melayu, such as the "Kedah Tua", "Gangga Negara", "Chih Tu" and "Pan Pan" emerged as early as 2nd Century. And there have been some population of the Malay people in Tanah Melayu even before the rise of those kingdoms which I have mentioned earlier. You can check about "Tamadun Sungai Batu" articles, which sometimes can be very "highly heated" with claims from some Malaysian Indian (Tamil people trying to claim) that their ancestors are the ones who built those historical places, which of course is nonsense (Lol). In Tanah Melayu (Peninsular Malaysia), there are actually three types or categories of Malay people, but the majority of us here are not aware of this because we simply don't care much about it and it is not in our Constitution. Only those who are keen enough to study or read the history of Malaysia and its people will know it. The three types are: 1. Melayu Jati/Asal = These are the Malays which are the descendants from the old kingdoms which I have explained earlier (modern day Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Kelantan & Terengganu). 2. Melayu Dagang = These are the Malays of which their ancestors originated from Sumatera and its nearby islands. The majority of their descendants live in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and could also be found in Johor, Pahang and Perak as well. 3. Melayu Peranakan = These are the Malays of which their ancestors have mixed marriage between the Melayu Jati or Melayu Dagang with foreign settlers or traders which the majority of them originated from the India Muslim traders. You can find them in Pulau Pinang (Penang island). They are also known as "Mamak" or "Anak Mami". Some Melayu Peranakan have heritage from Pakistan, Arab, Persian, Chinese and many more. Besides Indian Muslim (and to some extend Pakistan), other Peranakans are not called as "Mamak" or "Anak Mami".
Can you suggest any good read on the subject? Especially on origin of the Malays (that covers anthropology, genetics and linguistics aspect i.e. Scientific standpoint).. Really loves your vids..
A well-researched piece. Thank you.
I'm Filipino. Many of us see Malays as our ancestors.
Thanks for this video. I am Filipino and it really annoys me when some of my countrymen label themselves as "Malay" - this is because a Philippine-based American anthropologist in the past incorrectly taught Filipinos that we are part of the "Malay Race". This "Malay Race" now translates to the Austronesian peoples, not the "Ethnic Malays" of Malaysia, Brunei, southern thailand, indonesia and Sg.
Agree. Filipinos are part of Malay Race but not ethnically Malay.
@Morgh123
We acknowledge that we have Malay ancestry but we are culturally and linguistically different from other Malay Races from Malay Countries
infamouskarl pascual Filipinos are part of Malay race. I just hate it when Filipinos claim to be a Polynesian race lol
Yeah that's true. I once had a discussion with a Filipino that believes that he's Malay and I told him that we're not ethnic Malays and different from the Malays from Malaysia and parts of Indonesia and he started attacking me for being a Filipino-Canadian thus not a true Filipino. I also told him that we're related to the Taiwanese aborigines too but he told me that I am a Chinese wannabe even though I told him that the natives of Taiwan aren't Chinese.
@@quiasnoorzad unfortunately, many Filipinos are taught that "Malay Race" and "Ethnic Malay" are the same. The "Malay Race" was introduced by Otley Beyer and because the term "Austronesian" during his time was not in use, he chose "Malay" to name the groups of Filipinos, Indonesians, actual Malays and other natives of maritime Southeast Asia. So it would be more accurate to refer to Filipinos as "Austronesian" instead of "Malay race". Also, go to Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. The ethnic Malays of those countries will be surprised when they hear that Filipinos are Malay 🤣. Malay is an actual ethnicity where aside from race, language, customs, culture and religion matters. Yeah, its also funny when Filipinos (mostly Fil-Ams) claim that they're Polynesian/Pacific Islander.
As part of the diaspora, there are lots of Malaysians (regardless Malay or non-Malay) living in other commonwealth countries such as Australia, UK and Canada.
As a minority living in Malaysia, your video is quite accurate!
Do contact me if you're interested in getting more information!
Not 100% accurate. Forgot the mention other races in Sarawak and Sabah who are distinctly different from the Malays. Some say those from east Malaysia are of Malay descendent ,which is far from the truth.

I've just been to Indonesia, and the ethnic make-up is very interesting. Some look classic "austronesian" while many you can clearly tell they something else as well. A lot of them have more melanesian traits, very atypical of other SE asians, some have more arabic traits as well.

I always thought about the ' Malai' (hill/mountain) thing in malaya...is it right..
There's no broadly agreed upon origin for the word. Malay is Melayu in the language so the similarities with Malai might be circumstantial. Another theory is that the word comes from melayar (root word layar), which means to sail which makes sense as most Malays were either sailors or fishermen back in the day. Adding the prefix me- to a verb turns it into a continuous action. Interestingly, in Modern Malay, melayu (root word layu) means to wither.

Also, the four southern states of Thailand have a high proportion of Malays. This resulted from a war between the Sultan of Kedah in Malaysia and Thailand in which the British supported Thailand.
British never supposed Thailand. Siam is neutral and they expand to the south for a long time since British did’t come to the area. Siam even lost Kalantan,Trungkanu, Saiburi and Palis to British if no them those provinces will be in Thailand.
@@aluckystar4458 Learn some history.
Fred Tell your self.
@@aluckystar4458 "Siam was neutral" is a fiction. Siam was an ally of the UK and later of Japan.
The Sultan of Kedah leased Penang (1786) and then Province Wellesley to the British at the end of the 18th century.
Thailand invaded Kedah in 1821 and Kedah remained under Thai control under the name of Syburi.
URL: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siamese_invasion_of_Kedah
In 1896, Kedah along with Perlis and Setul was combined into the Thai province of Monthon Syburi which lasted until transferred to the British by the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909. Later, Kedah became an "unfederated Malay state".
In World War II, Kedah (along with Kelantan) was the first part of Malaya to be invaded by Japan. The Japanese returned Kedah to their Thai allies who had it renamed Syburi, but it returned to British rule after the end of the war. Kedah joined the Federation of Malaya in 1948.
Fred When I said neutral I mean British never support Siam to get those Malay provinces but Siam invaded to those provinces by themselves never got any support from British but when British came Siam negotiate and gave those provinces to British who colonized Malaysia at that time that why you get those provinces back if not because of British Kalantan, trungkanu, Saiburi and Palis will be part of Thailand.

@jumps over 1st there no such thing as hindu imperialist because hindu is religion not a kingdom. 2nd the oldest record of the term malay or melayu can be found in greek, chinese and indian record. all of their record referring malay as a geography region and a kingdom and not about the group of people.this most likely referring to kingdom name melayu kingdom which llater absorbed and replace by srivijaya kingdom. the word malayu also used to build a new kingdom name melayapura in 13 century in padang sumatra. how can u say the immigrants from sumatra indonesia is not malay when the center of malay people itself located in sumatra. the orang asli negrito rarely have contact with outside world. they are normadic and hunter gather and dont practice agriculture until 20 century. they never adopting any hindu culture and ideology. there are nothing to cover up. please dont bring politic here.

@jumps over You do not know anything about malay. History of malays are over 1000 years old. Malay is ethnicity that has rule the Malay Archipelago from land of sumatera, south thai, south viet, south cambodia, malay peninsular, borneo, filipina, singapore and other island in indonesia provinces. Orang asli is malay bumiputera who do not socialise with modern time and keep their old religion. Malay modern today are describing as muslim, speak malay languange and practice malay culture. Thus not include term of malay race as people that live in southeast region and other country.
Please do not say anymore, otherwise you will insulting the malays.
Answer for your question why there are no details about hindu kingdom. First of all, there is no hindu kingdom. There are only malay and java kingdom. Historically, most of the kingdom in details are budhhas. If any hindus culture on those time, you should ask the portuguese and dutch who destroy our malay historic. Yes our ancestor may have been hindus, but it doesnt show that we are came from indian or china. But for surely, indian and chinese in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore are originally not from here.

im singaporean mostly javanese descent thanks for this video
The Malaysians are ostensibly similar to the Indonesians in language and culture. But upon closer observation, I noticed that Malaysian population is far more diverse, especially phenotypically.
As a Chinese Indonesian with some mixed raced heritage (Hakka, Teochew/Cantonese, Acehnese, Mandailing, and British), I gotta say it's the other way around.
For 'foreign orientals' as they were classified in colonial times, there's the Chinese Indonesians (mostly Southern Chinese), Indian Indonesians (mostly Tamil and Sindhi), and Arab Indonesians (mostly from Hadhramaut, Yemen).
There's also European Indonesians (mostly mixed raced from several different nationalities like Dutch, French, or British. But also some full blooded European settlers in the past). Those with family origins in colonial times mostly relocated to Europe, the US, Canada, and Australia. But a new generation is present in Indonesia from mixed marriages with western expats.
Within the 'native' or bumiputera/pribumi population there's hundreds of diffrerent ethnic groups. Mostly Austronesian Indonesians like Batak or Makassaran, but there's also the Melanesian Indonesians from Papua and Maluku.
Some names of famous Indonesian and their diverse ancestry;
- Rich Brian (rapper of Chinese Heritage)
- Irfan Bachdim (soccer player of Arab and Dutch heritage) and his wife Jennifer Kurniawan (model of Chinese and German heritage)
- Pubjabi brothers (arguably Indonesia's most known producers of Sindhi heritage)
- Basuki Tjahaja Purnama aka Ahok (former governor of Hakka Chinese heritage)
- Harbrinderjit Singh Dillon (politician of Sikh heritage)
- Nadiem Makarim (Founder of one of Indonesia's top start ups; Gojek. Of Arab heritage)
So there is tons of diversity in Indonesia. Even phenotypically. In the first place it's not possible for such a huge population of 264 million people spanning 17,000 islands to be a monolith.
Good point. I knew of the Sino-Indonesians, but not about the other groups.
@@TJSakowski Yeah. Important to note that Indonesian society can be pretty fragmented.
Eg. A Balinese person may be in a circle of mostly Balinese and not have interactions with other Indonesians.
Personally, I grew up with mostly Chinese, Indians, and Eurasians around me. Of course I knew some other Indonesian groups like Javanese and Arab. But these were mostly domestic helpers or family acquaintances.
@@liongkienfai104 I thought majority Indonesia will use and speak Indonesia in daily life ?
@@wakakabravo7998 Yes, to an extent. Indonesia has hundreds of regional languages called 'bahasa daerah.' There's also language of ethnic groups called 'bahasa suku.' For strangers, usually you use Bahasa Indonesia. But if you know the person speaks the same bahasa daerah or bahasa suku as you, then you just use that. For example, people will ask where you're from in Bahasa Indonesia. And if you're both from Central Java, then usually you switch to speaking Javanese. My family are Chinese from West Borneo, where the bahasa suku is Tiociu and Hakka. So if we run into someone who shares those bahasa suku, then we just speak that.

Yes you can find more Malay in Indonesia than in Malaysia but the peninsular of Malaysia was sacred being the only strip of the Malay archipelago that is still attached to the Asia continent and was the first ancient kingdom in the world. Infact, the rainforest in Malaysia is the oldest rainforest in the world ( older than amazon) .20 000 years ago were 1 land called Sunda Continent (malaya/borneo/singapore/indonesia/ phillipine) however a huge volcanic eruption and earthquake had causes the land broke into many islands we know today..
Edit: south china sea (SEA) in between borneo and peninsular of Malaysia and Phillipine were originally called Sunda sea. After colonisation of the European the name changed to SEA. China is currently disputing the territory with Phillipne and Malaysia despite the location is clearly in favor of Malaysia/Phillipine as this sea contains high quality minerals ie petroleum

Actually, Pulau Ujong is still the name for the main island of Singapore, the old name for Singapore is Temasek, but since Sang Nila Utama's rule, the territory has been known as Singapore (or Singapura in Malay).
