[dalawapo]

^ iono. they are Mainland Southeast Asia. I am talking about Insular (island) Southeast Asia.

[Menikani]

Why did you leave out the Negritos who also inhabits Insular Southeast Asia as well? That is discrimination. Better labels:

Among Negrito, the Andamanese remain unique for having preserved their original languages. The Semang have adopted the language of the Mon-Khmer wave of migrants surrounding them perhaps since before 7,000 years ago. Some vocabulary suspected of going back to their original language has been recovered. Around 4,500 years ago, the Mon-Khmer-spekers were themselves pushed aside by Malay newcomers who today dominate the peninsula south of the Thai border. Oddly enough, the Semang and some Veddoid tribal groups have retained their Mon-Khmer languages until recently despite the social and cultural pressures to adopt Malay.

In the Philippines we even have a week long (?) festival to celebrate the day when our Deutero Malay forefathers from Borneo seafared to the philippine islands and met the indigenous Negritos on Panay island. It is recounted in the Legend of the 10 datus of Borneo which is the proposed beginning of the Deutro-Malay settling the Philippine islands. It is called the Ati-Atihan Festival! it is a week long celebration of this meeting, much like the American Thanksgiving Celebration between American Colonists and the Native Americans! The Ati-Atihan Festival is celebrated by the Malay people of the islands where they paint their bodies in black soot and dress in elaborate Costumes to mirror the indigenous Negritos and have a grand parade in Aklan region of Panay Island where the meeting took place so long ago! Today it has Catholic influence and is also celebrated in honor of Sto.Niño as well as for the peace pact and land deal made between the Malay and Negrito in the 12th century where the Malay established their Barangay or towns along the coasts and the Negrito the hitherlands of mountains where they live today. The fact that the word Barangay is an Old Malay word for Boat adds to the great and complex heritage of our ppl! The Ati-Atihan is said to be the Mardi Gras of Asia!

Have any Filipinos partake in this Festival? (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_smile.gif)

wahh? how can malagasy (language of Madagascar) be classifed as a "northern indonesian" as you say when malagasy's most closest lingusitic relative is Ma'anyan of Central Kalimantan, interior of Borneo island or something. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/confused.gif)

Malagasy Merina
Classification: Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Western Malayo-Polynesian, Borneo, Barito, East, Malagasy.
