: ''Not to be confused with Riau Islands Province, a province (administrative) of Indonesia''. The Riau Archipelago is a ''geographic'' term (as opposed to administrative region) for the core group of islands within the Riau Islands Province in Indonesia, and located south of Singapore. Before the province of Riau Islands was formed, there was no ambiguity in term, however; in Indonesian both the archipelago and islands are referred to as simply "Kepulauan Riau". The province may have the word "Provinsi" preceding it. ==History== Historically along with Temasek (now Singapore) - were under the Johor-Riau Sultanate before the split through the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824. It is possible Singapore itself was considered a part of this archipelago during this time. The name of this archipelago predated the province by over two hundred years, and historically did not include the Lingga Islands or Natuna Islands, which now belong to the province of the same name. The islands were later to form an integral part of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate. 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「Riau Archipelago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
