Note: "The Malay Archipelago (Cebuano: Kapupud-ang Malay, Malay: Kepulauan Melayu, Tagalog: Kapuluang Malay, Javanese: Nusantara) is the archipelago between mainland Indochina and Australia. It has also been called the "Malay world," "Nusantara", "East Indies", Indo-Australian Archipelago, Spices Archipelago and other names over time. The name was taken from the 19th-century European concept of a Malay race, later based on the distribution of Austronesian languages.

Situated between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the archipelago of over 25,000 islands and islets is the largest archipelago by area and fourth by number of islands in the world. It includes Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia (East Malaysia), Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Singapore. The term is largely synonymous with Maritime Southeast Asia." - (en.wikipedia.org 09.04.2022)
