-“maritime southeast asia” is the ‘maritime region’ of ‘southeast asia’ as opposed to ‘mainland southeast asia’ and comprises what is now ‘malaysia’, ‘brunei’, ‘the philippines’, ‘singapore’, ‘indonesia’, and ‘timor leste’-


(‘maritime southeast asia’ is sometimes also referred to as “island southeast asia” or “insular southeast asia”)

(the 16th century term east indies, and the later 19th-century term malay archipelago refers to a largely similar area)

(this main demographic difference that sets “maritime southeast asia” apart from “indochina” is that its population predominantly belongs to the ‘austronesian’ (‘malayo-polynesian’ / ‘melanesian’ / ‘micronesian’) groups, although through trade with neighboring groups from the ‘asian mainland’ like the ‘tai-kadai’, ‘austroasiatic’, or ‘chinese’, as well as other ‘oceanic groups’ like ‘papuans’ and ‘negritos’ there has been significant ‘intermixing’ and ‘cultural exchange’)

(the prevailing cultures of this region are ‘maritime-based’, ‘tribal’, and predominantly ‘non-sinicized’)


(‘maritime southeast asia’ makes up the oldest bloc within ‘austronesia’, with the ‘philippine archipelago’ representing the ‘urheimat’ of all ‘malayo’ – ‘polynesians’ (aka ‘non-formosan austronesians’))
