[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] Where did I say anything about Lapita? I was talking about MY people, the Malays who settled Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The Lapita are an entirely different people who are suggested to be ancestral to Polynesians. I don't know about them being "stereotypical blacks" but they were likely quite dark. So-called 'Mongoloids' in Southeast Asia were there long before the 'Modern Era'.[/qb][/QUOTE]Sorry Djehuti, if the Wiki on Malay people is correct, then you are in the same category as those Sand-Niggers of north Africa with the phoney made-up name and heritage - the so-called Amazign people. Who because of just a little Berber admixture, now claim that they themselves are Berbers. The Malay Wiki: Malays are an ethnic group of [b]Austronesian[/b] people predominantly inhabiting the Malay Peninsula including the coastal Indonesian including eastern Sumatra, southernmost parts of Thailand, south coast Burma and island of Singapore, coastal Borneo, including Brunei, West Kalimantan, coastal Sarawak and Sabah, and the smaller islands which lie between these locations - collectively known as the Alam Melayu. These locations today are part of the modern nations of Malaysia, Western Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Southern Burma and Southern Thailand. Historically, the ethnic Malays population is descended from several genetically related peoples who were largely of Animist, Buddhist or Hindu origin — the [b]Austronesians[/b], the [b]Mon-Khmer peoples[/b], the Orang Laut, the Orang Asli, the [b]Cham people[/b], the ancient Kedahans, the Langkasukans, the Tambralingans, the Gangga Negarans, the ancient Kelantanese, the Srivijayans, the ancient Bruneians, the Batak groups, the Dayak peoples and various other tribes inhabiting the Malay world. The golden age of Malay sultanates beginning in the 15th century, saw the construction of the common identity that binds Malay people together; language (with variant of dialects exist among them), Islam and their culture. The commercial diaspora of these sultanates, effectively brought much of the Maritime Southeast Asia under the massive wave of Islamisation and Malayisation. Due to its fluid characteristics and the assimilation of the later immigrants from various part of the archipelago, Malay culture absorbed numerous cultural features of other ethnic groups, such as those of Minang, Aceh, and to some degree Javanese culture; however it differs by being more overtly Islamic than the Javanese culture which is more multi-religious. Austronesian peoples The Austronesian-speaking peoples are various populations in Southeast Asia and Oceania that speak languages of the Austronesian family. They include Taiwanese aborigines; the majority ethnic groups of East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, Madagascar, Micronesia, and Polynesia, as well as the Polynesian peoples of New Zealand and [b]Hawaii[/b], and the non-Papuan people of Melanesia. They are also found in Singapore, the Pattani region of Thailand, and the Cham areas of Vietnam (remnants of the Champa kingdom which covered central and southern Vietnam), Cambodia, and Hainan, China. The territories populated by Austronesian-speaking peoples are known collectively as Austronesia. [/QB][/QUOTE]
