“…Territorially, the Malay world includes, according to these authors, the Isthmus of Kra, Singapore, the Riau Archipelago, Sumatra (including Aceh), the coastal regions of Borneo, the Sulu Archipelago, and the island of Java [Benjamin 1993;Farrer 2009]. More generally, de Grave [2013] suggests the inclusion of Indonesia (without Irian Jaya), Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and Timor Leste. We could probably also consider the linguistic and socio-cultural continuities that exist in the Malay parts of southern Thailand and the southern Philippines.…”
