Orang Asli

Orang Asli is a general term used for any indigenous groups that are found in Peninsular Malaysia. They are divided into three main tribal groups: Negrito, Senoi, and Proto-Malay. Each group consists of various sub-groups. Negrito includes Kensiu, Kintak, Lanoh, Jahai, Mandriq, and Batiq (Batek). Senoi includes Temiar, Semai, Semoq Beri, Jahut, Mah Meri, and Che Wong. Proto-Malay includes Temuan, Semelai, Jakun, Kanaq, Kuala, and Seletar. It must be noted that these subdivisions are sociological, and not linguistic. Negrito is usually found in the north, Senoi in the center, and Proto-Malay in the southern part of the Peninsula.
