The three (3) major "Austronesian" nations (above 50 million speakers): Indonesia, Phlippines, and Malaysia Not talking about the national / official language of the country, Bahasa Indonesia, spoken by over 250 million people there, the regional languages of Indonesia - "Malayo Archipelago" itself make the large number of Austronesian speaker in the world. By the recent genetic study and findings supported by the academias and scientists, and are often published by the "Austronesian" members in EastBound88.com , ... the region of Malay Archipelago or "SouthEast Asian maritime" itself is largely influenced by the "non-Austronesian" in genetic, culture and language who are more dominant in South East Asia mainland or Indo Chine peninsular, mainly "Austro-Asiatic" or "Mon-Khmer" language family. Malay peninsula has sizeable of Austro-Asiatic speakers "aboriginal" in the land compared to Indonesia and Philippines, 2./ Indonesia is also the largest country in ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) / "South East Asia", and the largest archipelago nation in the world. The next is Japan and Philippines as the 2^nd and 3^rd largest archipelago nations in the world. === *** === Austronesian Language Family aboutworldlanguages.com/austronesian-language-family Updated November 4, 2016 by Irene Thompson The Austronesian language family stretches halfway around the world, covering a wide geographic area from Madagascar to Easter Island, and from Taiwan and Hawai’i to New Zealand. The family includes most of the languages spoken on the islands of the Pacific with the exception of the indigenous Papuan and Australian languages. The name “Austronesian” comes from the Greek words for ‘south’ and ‘island.’ Austronesia includes Madagascar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. With 1268 languages, Austronesian is one of the largest and the most geographically far spread language families of the world. Austronesian languages are spoken in Brunei, Cambodia, Chile, China, Cook Islands, East Timor, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guam, Indonesia, Kiribati, Madagascar, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mayotte, Micronesia, Myanmar, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Suriname, Taiwan, Thailand, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, USA, Vanuatu, Viet Nam, Wallis and Futuna. The total number of speakers of Austronesian languages is estimated at 311,740,132 with a median of 3,384 speakers per language (Ethnologue). The existence of the Austronesian language family was first discovered in the 17th century when Polynesian words were compared to words in Malay. Despite extensive research into Austronesian languages, their origin and early history remain a matter of debate. Some scholars propose that the ancestral "Proto-Austronesian" language originated in Taiwan (Formosa), while other linguists believe that it originated in the islands of Indonesia. The Austronesian language family is usually divided into two branches: Malayo-Polynesian and Formosan. The Malayo-Polynesian branch is by far the largest of the two. It is traditionally divided into two main sub-branches: -) The Western sub-branch includes 531 languages spoken in Madagascar, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, parts of Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Two languages of Micronesia (Chamorro and Palauan) are also included in this group. This branch represents over 300 million speakers and includes such widely spoken languages as Javanese, Malay, and Tagalog. -) The Central-Eastern sub-branch, sometimes referred to as Oceanic, contains around 706 languages spoken in most of New Guinea, and throughout the 10,000 or more islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Despite its diversity and geographic spread, this branch represents only under 2 million speakers. The aboriginal languages of Australia and the Papuan languages of New Guinea are not included in this branch. Conclusion: ==== The Austronesian basic classifications / taxonomy ==== 1. Malayo-Polynesian - largest A. Western Malay-Polynesian B. Central-Eastern Malayo-Polynesian (Oceanic) 2. Formosan - most diversed Austronesian group? ==== The further classification: ==== "Austronesian" language family . Proto-Austronesian language 1. Formosan languages, e.g. Amis, Atayal, Paiwan, Puyuma, Thao, Yami, etc 2. Malayo-Polynesian languages . Proto-Malayo-Polynesian language A. Nuclear Malayo-Polynesian languages I. Sunda-Sulawesi languages, e.g. Acehnese, Balinese, Bataknese, Cia-Cia (now using Korean HanGeul from previous Gundhul, a Jawi scripts derived Arabic writing system), Champa, Javanese, Malay, Moken, Sundanese, Tetum (Timor Leste), Tsat (Hui Hui - Muslim), etc II. Borneo-Filipino languages, e.g. Dayak Benuaq, Filipino, Malagasyan, Minahasan (Manado) - Northern Celebes, etc B. Oceanic languages, e.g. Fijian, Hawaiian, Maori, Samoan, Rapa Nui (Easter Islanders), etc 3. Trans New Guinea** languages, e.g. Fataluku * 4. West Papuan languages, e.g. Ternate, Tidore (Halmahera Sultanate, Central-Eastern Indonesia) ** Foot Note * The Trans New Guinean languages are separately from Austronesian language family, but tend to have strong Austronesian influences. The West Papuan languages are a Papuan language family (Melanesian), that are neither Austronesian nor Australian Aboriginal** languages, but somewhere between of the two.

Indonesia has the largest size. The Austronesian language family within world's major language family map. IndoNesia is between Australia and Philippines in South East Asia archipelago / maritime region. Indonesia - Indo Nesia Indo (India) + Nesia / Nesos (Island) = "Indian Islands" / "Islands of India" Indo Nesia in South East Asia maritime, or sometimes *Noesantara Raya* (Greater Nusantara) *Nusantara* is from Indonesian = *Nusa* (Islas; Nesos, Nusa) + *Antara* (Between / Link) The national flag of Indo Nesia, Red & White. "*Sang Sakha Merah Poetih", the historical national flag in Noesantara* (Malayo Archipelago), western part of Indo Nesia and Malaysia peninsula since centuries ago. *Garuda PancaSila, the national emblem of "Indo Nesia Republic". Garoda* is Hindu Vishnu symbol of mythical bird-human. "Panca Sila" is from *Boso Jowo* (Javanese Language), the largest regional language of Indonesia, derived from Hindu-Sanskrit: *Panca* = Five; *Sila* = Pillar(s) Bhinneka Toenggal Ika below the Garoeda is the national slogan / motto from Javanese in Hindu-Buddhism era, to mean "Unity in Diversity". Indonesia has the largest number of "Austronesian" speakers in the world. The three (3) major "Austronesian" nations (above 50+ million speakers): 1. Indonesia - 250 million 2. Phlippines - 100 million 3. Malaysia Not talking about the national / official language of the country, *Bahasa Indonesia, spoken by over 250 million people there, the regional languages* of Indonesia - "Malayo Archipelago" itself make the large number of Austronesian speaker in the world. the national / official language of Indonesia, Bahasa Indonesia basically is from Western Malay peninsula branch spoken in eastern Sumatra Island coastal, now Riau province, and Johor Sultanate (border of modern Singapore). Hence, Malaysian and Indonesian are hugely mutually intelligible, which is relatively small dificulties for both speakers to communicate each other, either in writing and speaking. But other than that, the largest regional language of Indonesia: Javanese, has the largest number of speakers natively itself in Java Island (Tagalog: Pulo Jawa) and entire western part of Indonesia, even the world (such as Suriname in South Americas, Netherland, and other immigrant countries like Australia, New Zealand and U.S.A.) The top regional languages with in Indo Nesia geographic by approximately number of the speakers: 1. Java / Javaese language (local name: Boso Jowo): 95 million ~100 million natively 2. Malay / Malaysian language (local name: Bahasa Melayo): 45 million natively (Sumatra in Western Indonesia and Western Malaysia / Malaya peninsula) to 250 million* 3. Sunda / Sundaese language (local name: Basa Sunda): 40 million 4. Minang / Minang Kabauese language (local name: Baso Minang): 7 million (often considered as West Malay / with in Malay peninsula) 5. Batak / Bataknese language (all dialects mainly in North Sumatra): 7 million 6. Bugis (South Celebes / Sulabesi Island, south of the Philippines islands): 5 millon . . . * due to the Bahasa Indonesia, become the official language of Indonesia since early 1930's till today, the rank order can be changed like such this: 1. Malay - 250 million 2. Java - 95~100 million 3. Sundanese - 40 million 4. Minang - 7 million (Minang Kabau often included in Malay) 5. Batak - 7 million . . . so on Just like Malay, the Tagalog in Philippines becomes national languageof the country, ranging 47 million natively to 100 million by national. 1. Tagalog 47 million (natively) to 100 million (nationally) 2. Cebu 20~30 million Conclusion: TOP 5 largest Austronesian languages in the world: - by regional - 1. Java (basically represents Indonesian) 95 ~ 100 million 2. Tagalog (Filipino) 47 million? 3. Malay 45 million 4. Sunda (West Java) 40 million 5. Cebu 30 million - by national- 1. Malay (including Indonesian) 250 million 2. Tagalog 90~100 million 3. Java 95 million 4. Sunda 40 million 5. Cebu 30 million === *** === By the recent genetic study and findings supported by the academias and scientists, and are often published by the "Austronesian" members in EastBound88.com (now mainly Filipino but some others are Indonesian and Malaysian), ... the region of Malay Archipelago or "SouthEast Asian maritime" itself is largely influenced by the "non-Austronesian" in genetic, culture and language who are more dominant in South East Asia mainland or Indo Chine peninsular, mainly "Austro-Asiatic" or "Mon-Khmer" language family, especially in western part of Indonesia, followed central Indonesian, Borneo Islander connect to Champa (now South Viet Nam an Cambodia) and even Hai Nam Island in South China Sea. Malay peninsula has sizeable of Austro-Asiatic speakers "aboriginal" in the land compared to Indonesia and Philippines The Orang Aslian of Malaysia peninsula, means "Aboriginal / Original People" in Malay language, which basically divided into 3 sub groups by the Malaysian national bureau: 1. Austro-Asiatic / Mon-Khmer; 2. proto-Malayan, and 3. Semang (Negrito)**

As a whole, Indonesia is not as crowded as it appears on paper since more than half of the population lives in Java. eldertree glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. You obviously had a much better time there than I had in Italy. Bet the Italian holiday was disgustingly more expensive too. Did you visit other parts of Indonesia? Like Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java? How were the people like? Were they friendly? Did you get unnerving stares?

I didn't know that lol Are you thewalrus in EB? ^^ Thank you for replying my thread... Yes, I think so... the scientists still working on this. And there are so many lineage trace, like the cultures in South East Asia, Indo China to India sub continent, many have very similar resemblances of the cultures in Meso Americas (Central Americas) like Maya, Incas, Aztec, Peruvian, Amazon in term of genetic look also... The Mayan ruins have very rich culture heritage just like Indonesia and South East Asia... The connection can be related to the infamous "Lost Continent", or Atlantis in Sunda Land, present-day South East Asia maritime... by Plato, re-arranged by Santos from Brazil. It's said that they spreaded to the world, to Japan (Okinawan pyramid), to Eurasia, Middle East (Egypt), Africa and Americas, etc founded many cultures and civilizaitions there. The Japanese scientist also have work together with Indonesians and other scientist around the world for the new site founded, "Gunung Padang", and still are dig for more explorations and findings. === *** === The Indonesian / Malaya Archipelago are also quite diversed in culture, genetic look, historic and nature... See again the Orang Aslian of Malaysia peninsula, means "Aboriginal / Original People" in Malay language, which basically divided into 3 sub groups by the Malaysian national bureau: 1. Austro-Asiatic / Mon-Khmer; 2. proto-Malayan, and 3. Semang (Negrito) in Malaysia peninsula and Thailand The non-Austronesian features in various regions in Indonesia (especially western part, like Sumatra, Jawa and Kalimantan / Borneo) often associated with "Austro-Asiatic" / "Mon-Khmer" to might some "Daic" from continental South East Asia / Indo China to North East India and parts of MyanMar - YunNan borders, to some Negritos, the "aboriginal" of Malaysia and Philippines that indicated their ancestors lived earlier in present-day South East Asia, between Indian Ocean (Andaman - Nicobar), Papua Island, and Australasia continent in the south. Their languages are largely unclassified, many are in "Indo-Pacific" and some in "Papuan / Trans New Guinean" language family, but also strong Austro-Asiatic features from mainland South Asia & Indo Chine, like the Shompen (Car) in Nicobar Island to many Aslian tribes in Malaysia peninsula and Southern Thailand with strong Negrito mixtures and influences... === * === But many Negrito, Aslian languages and Austro-Asiatic languages of Malaysia, Indo Chine to East India are largely endangered... Many of the Aslian lost their tongue and assimilated with local Malay (Austronesian), the Mon in Burma-Thai border, to Mundari and Nicobarese-Andamanese** in NE India, Bangladesh Bay & Indian Ocean... The "Negrito" components in Philippines and even Formosa (Saisiyat tribe) mainly associated with the Aeta (Ati) people, the large Negrito minority in Philippines. The islands of Eastern and parts of Central Indonesia have huge Melanesian and Polynesian influences from Oceania. Papua Island, the west part is Indonesia (West Papua), but the eastern part is Papua New Guinea (East Papua). The official language there in Papua New Guinea is still Austronesian, called "Hiri Motu", the language of the Austronesian native tribe in Papua Island.. Molucans (Maluku), Halmahera, Timor Leste, Sumbawa, Alor, Patar and Fiji in Central Indonesia have large Melanesian influences.

How were the people like? Were they friendly? Did you get unnerving stares? Yes, Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation in the world, more than half of the population of Indonesia national live in Java Island. The 5 (five) main islands of Indo Nesia Archipelago are (with estimated population): 1. Pulo Borneo (Hindi Sanskrit: Kalamanthana) - 15 million 2. Pulo Sumatra (Hindi Sanskrit: Suvarnna Bhumi) - 50 million 3. Pulo Papua (Irian Jaya - Western Papua) - 6 mllion 4. Pulo Celebes (Sulabesi) - 18 million 5. Pulo Jawa (Hindi Sanskrit: Yawa Dwipa?) 145 million Among of these 5 main islands in Indo Nesia, Java Island has the smallest size, yet she has the largest population in entire national Indonesia, about 140 to 150 million people live in Java Island. making the crowded island in the world. The next is Hon Shuu in Japan (ToKyo) with 105 million, and Great Britain Island in U.K. (London) with 61 million While Kalamanthana Island (Borneo), which is the largest island of Indo Nesia, has only about 15 million, making the most sparsely populated island on the country. The word Pulo is shared among Tagalog (Filipina) and Malay languages to mean "Island". "Isle" / "Isla" in Filipino is loan word for "Island", might from Spanish. There are many different nationals and tourists in Indonesia from various ethnic background around the world, but maybe it still more occured in Bali Island, one of the favorite tourist destination in the world, from Japan to European, Australian-White tourists... Yes, many locals might will give stares to some strangers, but it is personally, and can be happened anywhere.

Yeah they were friendly and no I didn't notice any unnerving stares. I think Bintan is touristy so the locals are used to seeing many different people lol

Molucans (Maluku), Halmahera, Timor Leste, Sumbawa, Alor, Patar and Fiji in Central Indonesia have large Melanesian influences. Continue from the previous discussion... For more than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Indonesian and SouthEast Asians have contacted with "Indian" / South Asian sub continent who are more the Western Eurasia... The Hindu-Buddhism era in Asia, largely influential in almost South East Asia and almost part of Eurasia, from Kalmyk (Russia) to Japan, to Indonesia, to Sri Lanka, etc etc. Hence, Malayan Archipelago, Champa, Khmer, Thai, Burmese etc all are largely "Indianized", that's why many refer "South East Asia" as the "Greater India", or "India Belakang" in Malay, means "India Behind" ("Extended")) The Muslims from Middle East (also largely via South Asia) have the huge impacts on the genetic, cultural (Islamic) and historical in almost part of Indo Nesia, Malaysia, and Philippines (Maynila Sultanate to Davao - Mindanaw Island)... The European after ward 16th CE, during exploration and missionary mission around the world... The Dutch in Indonesia, the British in Malaysia, and the Spanish in Philippines, and others like Protuguese, etc also reached Formosa, East Timor, Moluccans and Papua Island... The "East Asian" like Japanese, Koreans and Chinese (largely from South Eastern China coastal, Phuc Kien & Quang Dong province) also give big impact like the West Eurasians, the Indians, Arabs, and European colonists. The "Chinese" language that are popular in Indonesia / Malaya Archipelago is mostly "Fu Jianese" group, not Mandarin spoken from the north, Bei Jing... the others are much smaller, as the "Fu Jianese" make up the largest group of "Chinese Overseas" in ASEAN countries, so their language is more popular and much bigger influential in Indonesia Archipelago and majority SE Asia as the whole. Teo Chiu is close relative of HokKien and similar each other, many are in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. They are better known by their own name: "Hok Kian", who are majority in Singapore, Penang of Malay peninsula, and huge population in almost parts of western Indonesia, Philippines, to Formosa Island. The HakKas & Canton groups in SE Asia and South Asia are smaller than the Hok Kian, but significant in South Sumatra, Borneo, East Timor, to Calcutta in NE India, Mauritius in South Africa, to Jamaica in Central Americas. Many migrated to immigrant countries of Australia, Canada and USA, and some others in West Europe, like Netherland and UK. You can read the further detail about information on the "West Eurasian" influences in Indonesia and SouthEast Asia in general in various sources on www (internet). Here are my favorite threads discussion from various websites: Direct Indian influence or diffused through Indonesian contacts? www.eastbound88.com/showthread.php/40444-Direct-Indian-influence-or-diffused-through-Indonesian-contacts Do Southeast Asians have Onge, Negrito and West Eurasian www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/44818-Do-Southeast-Asians-have-Onge-Negrito-and-West-Eurasian/page2 Do Southeast Asians have West Eurasian ancestry? www.anthrogenica.com/archive/index.php/t-5391.html Hopefully the experts in genetic and anthropology can explain us further and well, and correct us for the improved and up-to-date informations...
