The Madurese (sometimes Madurace or Madhure) also known as Orang Madura and Suku Madura in Bahasa Indonesia are an ethnic group originally from the island of Madura now found in many parts of Indonesia, where they are the third-largest ethnic group by population. Common to most Madurese throughout the archipelago is the Islamic religion and the use of the Madurese language. The Madurese are a religious ethnicity, often affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama, a moderate Indonesian Muslim organization. Pesantren has a pivotal role in Madurese life. While the Madurese have their roots on Madura off the northeastern coast of Java, the majority of Madurese do not now live on that island. The Madurese people have migrated out of Madura over several hundred years, mostly driven by poor agricultural resources in their home island. The majority have settled on Java, where an estimated six million Madurese live, especially in East Java where they form about half the population. == Language and religion == The Madurese people are known to speak Madurese language, which is part of the Malayo-Sumbawan Austronesian languages, and also being able to fluently speak in the official language of Indonesia, the Bahasa Indonesia. Majority of the Madurese people practices Sunni Islam, unlike many of its fellow Indonesian which have a reputation for practicing very zealous adherents of Islam. Pesantren Muslim schools play an important role in their spiritual and social life. There are also Madurese people that practices other religions such as Christianity (both Protestantism and Catholicism), Hinduism, however their numbers are extremely small. 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「Madurese people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
