Best Answer

The Malay Archipelago consists of the modern day countries of Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and East Timor. This is where people got the concept of Malay as a race (Malays are also an ethnic group). Although, Malay as a race is being an outdated term. Because back then, people believed that all indegenous Indonesians, Filipinos, Malaysian, Bruneiens and East Timorese are all ethnic Malays. I use to think that too. But they are just Malay by race. So the Malay Archipelago is located in Asia, Southeast Asia. Before, the entire region was called "Malaysia" (combination of Malay and Asia).
