PERANAKAN in Malaysia & Singapore :- 1- Baba Nyonya : Chinese + Local Malay : Mahayana Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam 2- Chitty/Chetti : Southern India + adopted Local Malay cultural : Hinduism 3- Kristang/Serani/Eurasian : Portuguese + Local Malay : Catholic, Judaism 4- Jawi Peranakan/Jawi Pekan : Arab and South Asian (Pakistan, India) + Local Malay : Islam
I think the Malay word "ceti" was derived from their clan because they were mainly money lenders back in the old days. Ceti = Money lender with high interest rates.
The Chetti Malacca are descendants of Tamil traders who settled in Malacca during the regin of malacca 15th to 16 centuries and married local women of Malay and Chinese descent.😘
I visited Kampung Chitty several years back after visiting the Portuguese settlement. I drove down to Gajah Berang. I remember having chicken rice for lunch in a Chinese food stall along the streets. There were no Google maps. I don't think I even had an old school handphone. Had to find my way asking people nearby for directions. Finally I managed to find my way. Looking at your video was really helpful in recalling the places I visited. Yeah I recall seeing much the temples. Most of the houses are half brick and half plank just like my old house. Manggo leaves in row in front of the Melaka Chitty houses are common. All those I met were so nice and friendly. The whole place is truly colourful. Generally they speak Malay but when it comes to marriage and funerals rites ,they follow the Hindu culture. Their forefathers were mainly traders during the 15 th/ 16th century, some returned home but most of them settled down in Melaka. Some married local women.
I like how spontaneous you are, and many times it comes out as being funny, and i truly love it. Visiting East Malaysia is what i would suggest to you. I am more than glad to furnish you the information you need.
Very interesting. It's good that the entrance to the village is well signed and I think there was a sign providing a background to the place? The houses are all neat and tidy, very appealing, it's good that these locations are recognized. Yes, pity there was no food stalls selling Indian Chetty food - that would have been interesting.
Thank you. I was surprised that it is not purely Indian and also small but I liked it all lot because, as you say, very neat and tidy. Beautiful place.
Hi, this was a nice walk. For me it's always interesting to see how other people live. It's interesting to walk through the living area more than walk through a museum.... good video 👋🙂
The grey shirt man are representative for chetti community (i forgot his name) , he always spoke in many programs provide by state government and also do tv show to promote chetti community as they are the minority in malacca. He's very known, you are so luck to meet him maybe next time he tell you more about chetti history. Have splendid day ahead.
Kampong Chitty (meaning legal money lenders) is another place of interest to tour and understand the history. Local folks are very friendly, nice n helpful. The 2 elephants heads I used to passed to get thru my house.
🙋♀️Chitty Peranakan here!we speak Malay on our daily life..basically Malay lifestyle ..we do understand tiny bit of Tamil but we don't use it quite often..and we are hindu... kindly do not make fun of idols in the temple...calling out vampire isn't funny
@@yvesthesleeve its alright just try to be more cautious when you are vlogging from other house of worships..I do understand you're not a local but kindly be more sensitive ya..thank you ..hope you're enjoying your stay in Malaysia 🥰
@@staycool405 I do enjoy, thanks. It is always a very delicate matter when handling with the various religions. I do try to be appropriate but sometimes things turn out differently.
If I'm not mistaken, Ceti people in Malacca is like Baba & Nyonya, except they are Indian. Descendents of Indian traders who came to Malacca during Malacca sultanate period & settle there. Their culture is a mix of Indian & Malay. They understand tamil but dont speak them.
I have a classmate whose name ends with "Chitty." He is now married to a Chinese. There are inter marriages amongst the clan. Not sure whether they are related to those who operate as money lenders near the bridge whereby all the traditional houses are chettiars or money lenders. The road you trod was part of my school cross country route. There are still a lot of places of great food like Pak Puri, Chinese porridge and food around where you were. Great fried kway teow and also dim sum place. Oh, you will have a swell time in Malacca, lockdown or not.
Ir Yan, that's a misconception. The Chettis came way before the British brought them in by force. The Chettis merchants had to be of a certain stature to be able to travel far and beyond.
The Chittys are descendants of Indian migrants who intermarried with Malays during the days of the Malacca sultanate. Just like the Baba-Nyonya who descended from Chinese migrants who intermarried with Malays and Javanese. The society during the Malacca sultanate was liberal and so inter-marriages between Muslims and others were not unusual.
My family has a temple in Kota Laksamana called Hwa Kor San ran by my grandmother. Something you might be keen to check out! It’s under construction but should be done by now (i’m currently in London so i’m not most up to date with the status) as there was a fire recently that resulted in the temple having to be rebuilt.
That village could well place in Natal, South Africa with the mainly Tamil migration especially south of Durban.. It is like a time warp from days of old in Kwa-Zulu Natal and the sugar cane plantations that existed there.
Your first 'text/subtitle' claiming that 'they have mixed with the malas' (yes I know it's a typo) but FYI 'malas' is the malay word for 'lazy'... so that can be taken out of context indeed :P
Yeah because the history of their ancestors migrated more than 200+ years ago (16th-18th century) , assimilate well with the Malay locals during the Dutch rule or even older during the Portueguese rule of Malacca.. Sea traders mostly. The newer migration of Indians in the 19th century or early 20th century mostly still maintains their native languange until now because of living among themselves in small Indian community only for decades in plantations, orchards, along railway or roads being built , as labourer brought in by the British mostly( British rule of India during the same time period just make it easier and huge influx of migrants).
These are the Chettiars, origin South India, also spelt as Chetties or Chitties. They used to be money lenders especially to the local Malay communities - rarely nowadays after the government has tightened the money lending laws years ago. While their interest rate could be exorbitant, their lending procedure is far less bureaucratic than the banks: handover your security (land title, jewellery, etc), sign an IOU document, then straight away you get the loan equal to say 60%or so value of your security.
@@yvesthesleeve Some are still involved in money lending, either licensed or illegal, but majority as shopkeepers, small traders and restaurant operators. Their restaurants are famous for chettinad menu, delicious vegetarian dishes.
Kampung Chatty ??? I am not sure how true is that because there was only one guy that appeared to be chatty. 🤣 Anyway that’s a nice kampung video. 👍🏻👏🏻🧢
Chetti..They are traditionally money landers...ppl used to give land titles and house totle to these chefiars as collateral for loans...so the chetiars end up with lots of land
Chetti are the one indian clans that have adapt culture with Tanah Melayu culture, so the culture adapt are...on the food, clothes, and marriage culture also the language, the place that Kampung Chetti is the place a long ago the place of chetti community, but it not a big village, yes..the true have chinese, but have a spot of house a chetti, in Malacca history also have record the chetti clan are minor and that the truely you must know. Some the develope enviroment, the teenagener and marriage, work place, change for a few people from clan, maybe out the village to new a place. About the culture of Chetti or any clans that similar like it, baba nyonya, hope you do not comparing a lot to India or China, and about the temple, please use a low voice if your film it in other time. So please don't missundertanding about culture and language, they (chetti and baba nyonya) are clans from malaysia and they born from malaysia, for details please check some our history of malacca , so for to talk to people around yes we're sorry because covid19 , we a lot stay at home and your must know that have annouch start 1 august have a rule to use mask in public area. So keep health and have a nice day ...😁
Thanks for this information. In noticed the mask rule, I now wear the mask more often, which sucks. But yes, it is everywhere in Malaysia.. Have a good day and thanks for watching.

All of those 4 clans their mother tongue's is Malay, infact they are the early settlers before Islam emerged during 15th century
They are not Indian & Chinese who came during colonisation. They adopted Malay language & some Malay culture like attire & cooking.
I think the Malay word "ceti" was derived from their clan because they were mainly money lenders back in the old days. Ceti = Money lender with high interest rates.
Thanks, that's VERY interesting 👍

Thanks, that's also what I read. Interesting. They have adopted Malay culture but remained hindus...
Quite true. They incorporate some Malay elements into their culture. Just like the Chinese version...the Peranakkan/Baba Nyonya.

Yeah, go for it, it's a pretty cool place.
