  • Today, we're going to discuss the genetic, ethnic, and religious makeup of the countries that are in Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and more. We're also going to touch up on the history of some of these groups and how they came to be in the region.
    Southeast Asia is one of my favorite regions in the world to learn about! It's got ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity not seen elsewhere on the planet, and it's important to learn about!
    Let me know your thoughts on Southeast Asia in the comments below, and if you're from the region, tell me what you think of other Southeast Asians!
    Thanks for watching!

    Filipinos look like other Southeast Asians like Malays, Thais, Indonesians, we are not MIXED with Spanish like some Filipinos are falsely claiming. The Majority of Filipinos are of Austronesian and East Asian ancestry . While only 0.03% have Spanish blood. Almost all of us look like South East Asians or mixed with East Asian. We're not mixed or a melting pot like other Filipinos are exaggerating. The only significant foreign blood is Chinese where 35% of Filipinos have Chinese ancestry. Spanish Filipinos are a very rare minority in the Philippines as the Spanish throughout the colonial period only migrated to the Philippines in very SMALL numbers - they were always a very small minority never numbering more than 8,000 out of 11 million Filipinos which is a micro number! The Philippines was not a settler colony like Latin America but a commercial hub.
    Consider it like Britain's relationship to India or the Dutch to Indonesia . There are just numerous small minority bubbles of foreign colonisers, resistance, and self-preservation that prevented a complete takeover unlike most of Latin America where they received massive amounts of spanish migration hence why most of them are mestizos (mixed with Spanish) Most of the Philippines was never actually colonized by the Spanish. For example most of the Interior of Mindanao and upper Luzon never saw a colonial effort. Latin American colonies were often "settler" colonies to where spaniards migrated (think USA, Canada, Australia-style colonies, made up mostly of migrants who didn't originate from there) and intermarried with most of the population.
    Philippines was an "extractive" colony, there for trade. More like the African colonies for the British and India. Spaniards didn't intermarry and migrate there in large numbers,

      丹佛 If Filipinos look mixed then so do Thais Malaysians, chinese, and Indonesians by basic logic. Filipinos don’t look like Latinos in the slightest. Most filipinos look either Chinese or indonesian/Malaysian, or Pacific Islander. The ones who look Latin represent such a tiny minority and are usually mixed actors.

      Can I ask are you Filipino and do you live here in the Philippines? Alot of other southeast asian nationalities tend to hate on us Filipinos, not sure really why.
      Cause I’m Filipino. Born here and I live here. I can tell you its quite a mix here. Especially if you go to Cebu City, Dumaguete City and Cagayan De Oro City. You will see a beautiful mix of Filipinos/Filipinas displaying features of Malay, Spanish, Chinese. In addition there is a new wave of mixing here in the Philippines more and more Europeans, Indians and even Africans are coming here and mixing with the people already here.

      Maori of New Zealand and the rest of the Polynesians mostly descended from the people from Taiwan and Southeast Asia and they are Austronesian speaking but they also have minor ancestry from Papuans. So they are much closer to a Filipino like me to than to Africans.
      For Papuans, along with the Australian Aborigines, descended from the earliest humans that settled in southern Asia and they arrived in New Guinea 40000 to 50000 years ago and they have Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA, which west and southern Africans do not have. Later human migrations later absorbed the previous inhabitants related to the Papuans and they became the South Asians and Southeast Asians today. I guess they have an African appearance because of the climate but they can grow blonde hair but keep in mind that Africa itself is very heterogeneous like how the southern Khoisan looks so different from the other Africans.
      Southeast Asians has a much higher genetic relationships with the Polynesians/Papuans than any other group including Africans. A lot of Southeast Asian groups actually has a minor Papuan/Melanesian ancestry and Polynesians are basically Southeast Asiatics that got isolated in the vast Pacific Ocean that didn't get Chinese/Indian influence and got fat somehow.

Spain change the country name to own it and stop the European expedition to look for the Islands of Ophir whish is the old name of Philippines. our old language and writings are simiar with Hebrew. and if you are Christian then you can understand well about biblical Ophir.

    DO MORE! I went to philippines for vacation this summer and I haven't there for 10 years since I was 8. I got so stuck with western stereotypes that philippines have one major peoples. Then I soon realized that there were people with really different looks and can be very different from the typical east asian features. Some people looked like they can pass as half black and some can pass as some type of half caucasian. I went to many islands and each island had more or less types of feautures that I saw. It was very interesting

    Hi Masaman, thank you for this video. It's very interesting. I'm from East Malaysia, from Borneo & from one of the largest ethnicity / race there. A Land Dayak or nowadays called as the Bidayuh people. We're mostly found at the 'tail end' of Borneo; in the region of Lundu, Kuching & Serian. We are both fair & also dark skinned with wavy, curly & straight hair. And we have different languages too; Biatah, Salako, Jagoi etc etc... Even our countrymen are sometime confused with our actual lineage. (LOL)

    Cool to hear it's your favorite region to research. I'm Cambodian so would like to see a follow up thorough video of the land from historic times. Around 800 AD that whole area was the Angkor Empire aka Khmer Empire... That led to the buildings of the Angkor Wat (the biggest religious monument in the WORLD). With it's great architecture that was even named "Khmer Architecture" there had to be some influences from there as well. They are theories that the temple was built in one day and even hundreds of years before it was actually dated. Being faced to the west (the only temple to do so) and on the same latitude of another ancient site...the Pyramid of Giza. Also, the temples line up to mirror the constellation of Draco. It be nice to see what you can find out what happened before that time.

As a rural West Malaysian, I knew Temiar, Mandarin and a little bit of Javanese. But the Malay-speakers in the East (Borneo side of the country) probably knows Kadazan, Tagalog or Visaya as well. The amount of dialects springing up from these mixup is bedazzling.

    The story of the Hmong is interesting. I am surprised you didn't go into their evacuation during Vietnam. We have some pretty large communities here in the states.

    I think you forgot to mention Borneo ppl who are sub cultural from Malays and Philiphines. Some of them similar to Filipino and some with native ppl where you called Malaynisian. But that's okay. Nice video btw

      Very true in my Filipino martial arts class there was talk of 10 Bornean datus who established colonies in the area If I'm not mistaken where the Battle of Mactan was fought... I'm not certain if the story is historically true because a few Filipino researchers find the story a bit sketchy however some believed that a few of those datus returned to try to overthrow the tyrant King they first fled from..... You could probably find this information in the book entitled the Filipino Marshall culture written by Mark v Wiley... It is definitely a very good book...

    Great job u r very accurate and informative, I could tell how much passion u had for ASEAN... but there's just one thing I need to point out, there's a new research done on the ancestry of native people of North Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia) that are in progress to be published... The aim of the study is to unravel and compare the subsequent inference of migration history, which is the 'Out-of-Taiwan Migration'. The results shows that the ancestors of the ethnics originated from Taiwan before migrated out towards Southern Philiphines and also Indonesia... Just a little bit of info, i thought i should share

    Melanesian's carry a blond hair gene unique to them and that is distinct from a European blond hair gene. The island of New Guinea is one the most ethnically/ linguistically diverse places on Earth their are over 1,000 languages spoken their.

      I have met blond Melanesians in Zamboanga City, Philippines where I grew up. They are members of the Samal tribe, a boat people, sea gypsies of the southern Philippines. They have their own dialects and sub cultures. We spoke Chavacano (Spanish Creole), English, and Pilipino at home. My mother is Spanish and German from Texas, and dad is Portuguese Chinese (Macau) and Zamboangueno. But the Zamoanga Peninsula is like a microcasm of SE Asia,, soo diverse!

    as a south east asian person, i can tell you that there are 2 rules in commenting about south east asian countries in social media: 1. if you brag about your country is better than the rest of SEA, the rest will bash you. 2. if you praise other countries, they will praise your country too. SEA may diverse but we have a common same way in threating others. love

      I'm Lao... So sometimes I remember having identity crisis since elementary. We were taking idk what you call em, "state profiency" type tests, I guess, & those check boxes for the races.... I don't consider myself an islander. I think of Hawaii or the Phillipins. Idek how you spell that. Not me. But it was like 😭 I'm not any of em! What am I supposed to be? There was 2 Asians in my class, including me. She moved away & I think she actually was Chinese tho. Now, I'm just kind of used to it. Ppl thinking I'm Spanish too. Just happened to me today. Pretended like I understood him, said thanks, cut him off & started talking to the cashier instead 🤷🏻‍♀️. But if I was mixed w/ anything, I wonder if it's from my mom's side. She's southern. But she looks more idk, typical Asian... My dad doesn't but he's northern Lao 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

      Chinese and Indian are newcomers, due to British colonialism and SEA being one of the greatest trading port.

    About the Mong people. Went to northern Vietnam and met some Mong people in a little village where they farmed rice and shit. They are very distinctly separate culturally and still maintain customs and shit. Their history is actually quite interesting. They have various tribe of Mong people in their won little areas in the highlands and these areas cross boarders and are not limited from nation to nation.
