Hello, I'm Adakiko. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Malay world seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 10:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)


 * hello, thank you for your mail, well I think it's not only about me, but about more than 40% of Indonesian people that belong to Javanese ethnicity. as long as it's not mentioned Javanese as Malay, I think that's the neutral thing. cause Malay is an ethnic and cultural identity, so to label other ethnic as Malay, just because Malaysian believe that it's like that, is the wrong thing. for example, the Vietnam Chinese descendant is a Chinese people that run from their land and seek protection from the king of Vietnam. the king accepts them on one condition they have to live as a Vietnam. so now their Vietnam with Chinese ancestry. It's the same with Javanese in Malaysia, because Malay is so small in number, not like Indian and Chinese, they accept every ethnic from Indonesia, including Javanese, but in one condition that they must live as a Malay. so the Javanese in Malaysia is a Malay with Javanese ancestry, not 100% Javanese. so to say that one of the Malay cultures that influenced Srilanka is Javanese culture, is totally wrong. it's true that the Sri Lankan got influence from java, but Javanese is not a Malay. cause Malay is an ethnic and culture that embrace Islam tradition. Javanese is ethnic that embrace their ancestor culture, no matter if you are a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, or others, we embrace our ancestor. just like Malay, Javanese is an Austronesian. FYI, Malay as an ethnic proposed for the first time in the malacca sultanate period, to distinguish them from Javanese and Khmer culture. I agree with the first half of the content about the explanation of the Malay world. that it was just the land that was ruled by the Malay sultanate. for lingua franca, there is no problem with that, but if it is political, can't accept it. first, the Malay sultanate never ruled over Indonesia. it is just on the north coast of Sumatra and Borneo. second, old Malay which became the lingua franca of maritime southeast Asia is distinguished from the malacca Malay language and modern Malay. third, Majapahit is a Javanese kingdom/empire that unites the old Indonesia or Nusantara. the empire unite them in one flag but never destroyed their vassal culture. It's the reason that we unite even though we are different, we never saw our similarities, and we respect each other culture. just like Korean got angry when china claimed them as Chinese, that's the same with me. for your ancestor culture got claimed and labeled as another ethnic culture, do you think it is such a respectful thing? I want to talk a little. in china, there are Han, Hui, Hokkien, Canton, Mao, Yi, and others. they are the native of the mainland, and because their land is called china, they are Chinese. in India, there are Tamil, Urdu, Rajput, Bengal, and others. They are also natives of their own land, and because their land is India, then they are Indian. it's similar, Indonesia has more than 1300 ethnic groups, including Javanese, Sundanese, Minangese, Acehnese, Bugisnese, and many others. they are the native of java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi island, their island unites under the flag of Indonesia, their land is then called Indonesia, so they are Indonesian. just because your constitution accepts the other ethnic descendant as them, that doesn't mean they have the right to call the whole ethnic that still do their own distinctive culture and not from their country territorial on that point, the same as the ethnic descendant in their country. what is your opinion? sorry if my english not good, its been a long time i write this much lol Guardian Nusantara (talk) 14:40, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
