Malay Archipelago
The Malay Archipelago is the collective name given to the islands of Southeast Asia whose indigenous people are mainly Austronesian peoples. The term Nusantara is often used with the same meaning in parts of the region other than Indonesia; in 21st-century Indonesian, it usually refers to Indonesia only.
