user:Dravidianhero wrongly attibutes Sanskrit inscriptions in Indonesia and Malaysia indiscriminately to Tamil people. Only inscriptions in the Tamil language can undoubtedly be attributed to Tamil people. Some inscriptions from the 11th century are from Tamil people because there were indeed Tamil people coming to islans Southeast Asia at that time. Prior to that, it was Western Austronesians who had the maritime expertise to sail far away, not the Tamil (see Liebner, Horst, "The virtual reconstruction of the Nan-Han/Cirebon wreck", EurASEAA Dublin 2012 14th International Conference), Humboldt 22:49, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Southeast Asia archipelago not malay world

[edit]

The term Malay world is irrelevant nowadays, because there is no clarity about the actual region. what the Malay world claims is in fact only the Malay Peninsula and the coast of Sumateraisland and Borneo island (not the entire Southeast Asian archipelago) 125.164.11.229 (talk) 03:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
