| | Malay people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In terms of religion, most Malays had converted from Hinduism, Buddhism and animism to Islam in the early 15th century; influenced by Arab, Chinese and Indian Muslim seafarers during the Islamic Golden Age. | | | These are the descendants of migrations from the neighbouring Malay achipelago which later founded the Pattani kingdom, one of the many Islamic sultanates established during the period of Islamic expansionism in Southeast Asia. | | | Malay cultural influences filtered out throughout the archipelago, such as the monarchical state, religion (Hinduism/Buddhism in the first millennium AD, Islam in the second millennium), and the Malay language. |

| | MALAY PENINSULA - LoveToKnow Article on MALAY PENINSULA |
| | This Sanskrit element forms such an integral part of the Malay vocabulary that in spite of the subsequent infusion of Arabic and Persian words adopted in the usual course of Mahommedan conquest it has retained its ancient citizenship in the language. | | | These traders were also missionaries of their religion, as indeed is every Mahommedan, and to them is due the conversion of the Malays from rude pantheism, somewhat tinctured by Hindu mythology, to the Mahommedan creed. | | | In the absence, however, of any relics of a kind which might lead to the identification of the ancient miners, their nationality and origin are matters which must continue to be mere questions of speculation and conjecture. |

| | In the 15th cent., the Malays, beginning with the Malaccans, were converted to Islam (which remains the religion of most Malays). | | | The Malay Peninsula was visited near the beginning of the Christian era by traders from India and in the succeeding centuries received, like Indonesia and Indochina, Buddhist and Brahman missionaries and Hindu colonists. | | | The Sumatran kingdom of Melayu next ruled over the south of the peninsula, to be followed in turn (late 14th cent.) by Madjapahit, which was the last Hindu empire of Java, and by the Thai king of Ayutthaya. |

| | The term 'Malay book' is used in this study in a very broad sense, to refer to manuscript volumes or codices from Southeast Asia written in the Arabic script, usually in the Malay or Arabic language, but sometimes in other regional languages such as Acehnese, Minangkabau, Javanese or the Tausug language of Sulu. | | | The third issue is the question of the influence of Chinese Islamic manuscripts on Malay manuscript illumination. | | | The subject of this study is all graphic devices which serve to adorn, emphasize or beautify the text in Malay manuscript books, whether in the form of elaborate illuminated frontispieces or chapter headings, or simple marginal ornaments or text markers. |
