Did the ancestors of Malays come from Yunnan, China?

Analysis:

The origin of Malays

Where the Malays came from is still inconclusive in the history circle. But there are two main theories, one is from Yunnan, China, and the other is from Malay Archipelago.

Yunnan origin theory

The main supporters of Yunnan origin theory are R·h· Geldern, j·h· Kern, J R Foster, J R Logan, Slamjana and A * * * Haji Omar.

The basis of Yunnan origin theory is as follows:

The ancient axe found in Malay Archipelago is similar to some areas in Central Asia, indicating that Central Asian residents immigrated to Malay Archipelago.

Malay customs are similar to Assam (Assam is the area between India and Myanmar).

Malay is similar to Cambodian, and Cambodians are thought to come from Yunnan. They went south along the Mekong River to Cambodia.

The origin theory of Yunnan is accepted by the general public, and Malaysian middle school history textbooks all introduce that Malays originated in Yunnan. According to this theory, the ancestors of Malays migrated from Yunnan to the Malay Archipelago in two batches in different ages. The ancestors of these two groups of Malays were called Primitive Malays (Malay: Melayu Proto) and Mixed Malays (Malay: Melayu Deutro) respectively.

Primitive Malays and mixed-race Malays are also called Austronesian languages (Malay: Indonesians [5]), and their culture is Neolithic. Austronesian language family is actually the last people to move into Malay archipelago. Before that, there were Australians (English: Australoid), Duolun people in Li Ni (English: Negrito) and melanesians (English: Melanesoid).

The following is an introduction to these two groups of immigrants:

Primitive Malays

According to unearthed cultural relics, primitive Malays lived in the Malay archipelago in 2500 BC. They have agricultural skills.

Mixed-race Malay

They existed in the Malay archipelago from 65438 BC to 0500 BC. Most of them live by the sea and develop fishing.

On the origin of Malay archipelago

The Origin of Malay Archipelago is supported by J Crawford, K Himmli, Sutan Takdir Ali Chabanne and Goris Clough.

The following is the origin of the Malay archipelago.

Malays and Javanese have a high culture in the19th century. This achievement can only be achieved by the continuous development of local ancient culture. In this way, Malays don't come from anywhere. But born and raised.

K.Himly disagrees that Malay is similar to Cambodian. It is not enough to think that the similarity between the two languages is only a superficial impression.

The fossils of Thoreau ape-man [6] (Thoreau in Malay) and Vijay [7] (Wagak in Malay) found in Java island indicate that Malays originated in the Malay archipelago, and perhaps Malays came from Java island.

The languages of all ethnic groups in Malay archipelago are different from Indo-European languages in Central Asia.

The origin theory of Malay archipelago is supported by only a few people in Malaysia.

Malays refer to all ethnic groups mainly living in Malay Peninsula and Nanyang Islands in Southeast Asia. They belong to the Malay language type of Mongols and speak various languages of Austronesian language family. Its ethnic origin has been controversial in academic circles, and there is no conclusion so far. Most people believe that the ancestors of Malays first moved south from the Asian continent to Indochina Peninsula about 5,000 years ago, passed through the Malay Peninsula, entered Sumatra Island, and then extended eastward to Java Island, Sulawesi Island, kalimantan island and the Philippine Islands, where they merged with the local indigenous blacks. The migration wave of Malays has been repeated for thousands of years and divided into three groups according to time: the original Malays, the ancient Malays and the new Malays. The activity period of ancient Malays was about 1000 BC.
