The Acehnese (also Achinese) are people from Aceh, Indonesia in the northernmost tip of the island of Sumatra. The area has a history of political struggle against the Dutch. Their language, the Acehnese, belongs to the Aceh–Chamic groups of Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family. They were at one time Hinduised, as is evident from their traditions and the many Sanskrit words in their language. They have been Muslims for several centuries and are generally considered the most conservative Muslim ethnic group in Indonesia. The estimated number of Acehnese ranges 4.6 million people〔 and at least 4.477.000 people live in Indonesia and 81,000 live in Malaysia.〔(Changing Ethnic Composition: Indonesia, 2000-2010 ) page 14〕 Traditionally, there have been a large number of Acehnese agriculturists, metal-workers and weavers. Traditionally matrilocal, their social organisation is communal. They live in ''gampôngs'', which combine to form districts known as ''mukims''. Aceh came to international attention as being the hardest-hit region of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake with 120,000 people dead. == Overseas Acehnese == (詳細は2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, many Acehnese fled abroad. The most significant number of Acehnese can be found in Malaysia〔(Nasib Masyarakat Aceh di Malaysia )〕 and Scandinavia countries. Acehnese immigrants also can be found significantly in Singapore, Thailand, Australia,〔(Warga Aceh di Australia prihatin Kondisi Aceh )〕 United States〔(Ingin Mati di Kampung, Rela Lepas Rumah-Mobil di Harrisburg )〕 and Canada.〔(Aceh-Malaysia-Vancouver: Settlement Among Acehnese Refugees Five Years On )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acehnese people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
