Malay world
The Malay world or Malay realm (Malay: ''Dunia Melayu'' or ''Alam Melayu'', Jawi: دونيا ملايو or عالم ملايو) is a concept or an expression, that has been utilised by different authors and groups over time, to denote several different notions, that derived from varied interpretations of Malayness, either as a racial category, as a linguistic group, or as a political-cultural group. The use of the term 'Malay' in much of the conceptualisation, is largely based on the prevalent Malay cultural influence, manifested in particular, through the spread of Malay language in Southeast Asia as observed by different colonial powers during the Age of Discovery.
The concept in its broadest territorial stretch, may apply to a region synonymous with Austronesia, homeland to the Austronesian peoples, that extends from the Easter Islands in the east to Madagascar in the west. Such description has its origin from the introduction of the term Malay race in the late 18th century, that has been popularised by the orientalists to describe the Austronesian peoples. In a narrower sense, the Malay world has been used as a Sprachraum, referring to the Malay-speaking countries and territories of Southeast Asia, where different standards of Malay are the national languages, or a variety of it, is an important minority language. The term in this sense, encompasses Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Southern Thailand, and sometimes used interchangeably with the concepts of 'Malay archipelago' and 'Nusantara'.
Alternatively, modern scholars correct these extended notions of the Malay world, defining it as a political and cultural area instead. In this context, the Malay world is reduced to a region homeland to the Malay people, historically ruled by different Malay sultanates, where various Malay dialects and cultural values are predominant. This area includes the Malay peninsula, the coastal areas of Sumatra and Borneo, and the smaller islands in between.
The most notable use of the concept was in the early 20th century, embraced in an irredentist fashion, by the early Malay nationalists in the form of 'Greater Malaya' (''Melayu Raya''), as an aspiration for the "natural" or desired borders of a modern nation for Malay race.
