The Tamil Malaysians or Malaysian Tamils consists of people of full or partial Tamil descent who were born in or immigrated to Malaysia. They make up over 75% of the Malaysian Indian populations in Malaysia. Although bulk of the migration happened during the British colonial period there were established Tamil communities spanning a millennium.〔(Culture and economy:Tamils in the plantation sector 1998-99 ) (April 2000)〕〔 (Ethnic identity and News Media preference in Malaysia ) (November 2006)〕 ==Background information==
Prior to British colonization, Tamils had been conspicuous in the archipelago much earlier, especially since the period of the powerful South India kingdom of the Cholas in the 11th century.The Pallava dynasty of Tamil Nadu spread Indian culture and the Indian script to Malaysia.〔Prehistory of the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago by Peter Bellwood p.137〕 The Tamil Emperor Rajendra Chola I of the Chola dynasty invaded Malaysia in the 11th century.〔Studies in Southeast Asian Art: Essays in Honor of Stanley J. O'Connor by Stanley J. O'Connor,Nora A. Taylor p.196〕 The Malay Peninsula experienced strong south Indian culture in the 11th century and south Indian merchant guilds were established in several locations.〔Southeast Asia: From Prehistory to History by Ian Glover p.247〕 By that time, Tamils were among the important trading peoples of maritime Asia. Although bulk of these immigrants to South East Asia had assimilated with the majority Malay ethnic group, some communities such as the Malacca Chittys are remnants of these earlier migration history.
