Pribumi, literally "''sons of the land''", is the population group in Indonesia that shares a similar sociocultural heritage and whose members are considered as natives of the country.〔 Translated from ''inlander'' in Dutch, the term was first coined by the Dutch colonial administration to lump diverse groups of local inhabitants of Indonesia's archipelago, mostly for social discrimination purposes. During the colonial period, the Dutch instilled a regime of three-level racial separation; the first class race being Europeans; the second class race being those of partial European ancestry as well as "Foreign Orientals" (''Vreemde Oosterlingen'') which includes Chinese, Arabs, and Indians; and the third class race being the natives (''Inlanders''), including Malays, Dayaks, Papuans and Moluccans. The colonial system was similar to the casta system in Hispanic America, or the South African apartheid system, which prohibited inter-racial neighborhoods (''wet van wijkenstelsel'') and inter-racial interactions were limited by ''passenstelsel'' laws. ==Background== ''Pribumi'' make up about 95% of Indonesian population.〔 Using Indonesia’s population estimate in 2006, this translates to about 230 million people. As an umbrella of similar cultural heritage among various ethnic groups in Indonesia, Pribumi culture plays a significant role in shaping the country’s socioeconomic condition. The United States Library of Congress Country Study of Indonesia defines ''Pribumi'' as: There are over 300 ethnic groups in Indonesia.〔Kuoni - Far East, A world of difference. Page 88. Published 1999 by Kuoni Travel & JPM Publications〕 200 million of those are of Native Indonesian ancestry. The largest ethnic group in Indonesia is the Javanese who make up 41% of the total population. The Javanese are concentrated on the island of Java but millions have migrated to other islands throughout the archipelago. The Sundanese, Malay, and Madurese are the next largest groups in the country.〔 Many ethnic groups, particularly in Kalimantan and Papua, have only hundreds of members. Most of the local languages belong to Austronesian language family, although a significant number, particularly in Papua, speak Papuan languages. The division and classification of ethnic groups in Indonesia is not rigid and in some case are unclear as the result of migrations, also cultural and linguistic influences; for example some may agree that Bantenese and Cirebonese are belongs to different ethnic group with their own distinct dialect, however others might consider them as Javanese sub-ethnicities, the member of larger Javanese people. The same case also with Baduy people that share so many similarities with the Sundanese people that they can be considered as belonging to the same ethnic group. The example of hybrid ethnicity is Betawi people, the result of a mixture of different native ethnicities with Arab, Chinese and Indian since the era of colonial Batavia (Jakarta). The proportional populations of Native Indonesians according to the (2009 census) is as follows: 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「Native Indonesians」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
