Well, Malays aren't only in Malaysia but there are also a significant population of ethnic Malays living Indonesia. They live in Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java. About 10-30% of Indonesia's population are ethnic Malays.
You must remember, Indonesia has a much more diverse population than Malaysia. The three ethnic groups that make up Malaysia are Malays, Chinese and Indians. In Indonesia, there an entire mix. There are Malays, Javanese, Palembangese, Balinese, Timorese, Negritos, Melanesians, Chinese and some Indians. Most Indonesians are Javanese or Malay.
So, there's A LOT of differences between Indonesia and Malaysia. Indonesians speak their own national standard form of the Malay language, known as "Indonesian" or "Bahasa Indonesia". Many Indonesians also speak their own languages and dialects. Like Javanese, they speak the Javanese language.
Malaysia and Indonesia's cultures are of Malay background. But Indonesia's culture is more diverse than that of Malaysia's, and the Indonesian form of Malay is different than the standard Malay they speak in Malaysia.
What else can I help you with?
What are some races that come to the Philippines?
Some races that come to the Philippines are the Indonesians, Malays, Japanese, Spaniards and the Americans.
Who were the ancestors of the Filipino?
The ancestors of the Filipino people were composed of various Austronesian groups, including the Malayo-Polynesians, Indonesians, Malays, and various indigenous tribes. These groups migrated to the Philippine archipelago over thousands of years and intermingled with the existing indigenous populations.
What are the languages of the Malays?
Ethnic Malays, speak the Malay language (Bahasa Melayu). They also speak Yawi, in case of the Thai-Malays, but they speak the standard Melayu as well. Indonesians, speak both Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian form of Malay). If Malay is referred to a race, then they speak all of the Austronesian languages.
If Malaysian are Malays how about Indonesian?
I already see a problem, with this question that starts with the title. Not all Malaysians, are ethnic Malays. Although yes, ethnic Malays do form a 60% majority of Malaysia's population. The other 40% of Malaysia's population are ethnic Indians, Han Chinese and some indegenous groups. Malaysia's population isn't really that diverse. Indonesia on the other hand, is one of Southeast Asia's most diverse countries. You are to understand that, "Indonesian" is not an ethnicity but rather a nationality. There are MANY ethnic groups in Indonesia. And guess what? Malays are one of them. Indonesians are also ethnic Malays, but not all Indonesians are Malays. Sure, there are a lot of Malays in Indonesia and most of Indonesian culture is based off of Malay culture. But ethnic Malays are only about 10-30% of Indonesia's population. They mostly live in Borneo, Sulawesi (formerly "Celebes"), Sumatra's western coasts and they form a minority population in Java. So if, only 30% of Indonesians are ethnic Malays at the most; then what are the ethnic groups that make up Indonesia? Most of Indonesia's population are Javanese, and they make up about 50-60% of Indonesia's population. Javanese people are not Malays, although they closely related to ethnic Malays. Javanese people also have their own language, the Javanese language along with Indonesian; the national language of Indonesia. Malays and Javanese do look a like, because they share the Austronesian origin.
Who ride in the balangays the Indonesians or the Malays?
It's a hard question. Because the balangays, are the boats that the Austronesian people used. It's origins are thought to have been from Indonesia or Taiwan.
How many Indonesian blood are composed of the filipino blood?
A lot of the ethnic Malays from Indonesia, are of Philippine and Malaysian descent. Because, Malays originated in China and Taiwan. This origin, sailed south and reached the Philippines first and then later Borneo and some other islands in Indonesia. A lot of other Indonesians are also of Philippine descent.
Where did malays come from?
There are, a number of places of origin for ethnic Malays. But you have to be careful which "Malay" you are referring to. Whether you are referring to the ethnic Malays centered around the Malay Peninsula or Malay Archipelago or the Malay Race which is focused on all of Southeast Asia, Oceania and the African island of Madagascar.Theoretically, ethnic Malays; have three places of origin. China, Taiwan and the African island of Madagascar for Madagascar is where a lot of Austronesian people are descended from. Ethnic Malays, are thought to have their origins from two places in China. There is a Chinese scripture, that mentions a kingdom in China called "Mo Lo Yu", Malays are called "Melayu" in the Malay language. This is a theoretical, and legend-based. The other, is the Yunnan Province. There is where many, Southeast Asian ethnicities are thought to have derived from. Including ethnic Malays, Khmers (Cambodians), and the Tai-Dai peole (Vietnamese, Thai, Laotian). Also, ethnic Malays have genetic similarity with Taiwanese aborgines. Ethnic Malays, are Austronesian speakers so they definately have origin in Taiwan and Africa since those are the two places where all of Austronesian speakers are thought to have originated. Some ethnic Malays, also have some Indian origin as well, but those from Malaysia and Indonesia have some Indian origin. After Taiwan, the starting origin then reached the Philippines and then later Borneo, Sulawesi and Sumatra. Prior to this discovery, people (especially Filipinos) thought that Malays were from Indonesia and then sailed up north to Malaysia, Brunei and Philippines. And whenever I see that, the term "bogus" comes into mind. Big and bold as it is here. Because that is the best word to describe that theory. Because the Malay language has no origin in the Philippines. Despite being disproven, Filipino schools STILL continue to preach this totally bogus lie which is why Filipinos these days yap on about how "totally ethnic Malay" they are yet they don't even speak the language. The Malays did come to the Philippines, but the Filipinos were already there from an origin in China and Taiwan. After the Taiwanese and Chinese lineage, the true Malay as an "ethnicity" started in Borneo and Sumatra. That is where the true ethnic Malays formed, that is where the Malay language began to take shape. Not the Philippines, therefore Filipinos are not "Malays" by ethnicity! Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese Indonesians all speak Malay (as Indonesian), they aren't ethnic Malays but they don't have a problem with it.The Malay Race on the other hand, also has its origins in Taiwan and Madagascar. Meaning that Illocanos (Filipino), Tausugs (Filipino/Malaysian), all Filipino ethnic groups, Taiwanese, Javanese (Indonesians), Sundanese (Indonesians), all other Indonesian ethnicities are related and close to ethnic Malays but are not ethnic Malays. Vietnamese people also have some Malay (Austronesian) origin.
What is religion of Malay?
malays are Muslims in general but there are reports that there are some non Muslim malays..these are labeled "murtad" malays.
What form of Malay do Indonesians speak?
Indonesians speak Bahasa Indonesia. This is Indonesia's national standard form of the Malay language. Virtually same language, but the differences differenciate Indonesian from the standard Malay language spoken in Malaysia and Singapore. From what I've seen, Indonesian has a lot of Dutch cognates; even though Indonesians and Malaysians kind of loathed their Dutch and British conquerers. Brunien and Indonesian are both different forms of the Malay language. The ethnic Malays from Indonesia are bilinguals, they speak both the standard Malay (Melayu) and Indonesian.
