Very very interesting ! I did not know that Malays originally came from Sumatra, so Malay language is very similar to Minangkabau dialect as well? And very interesting about the formation of Bahasa Indonesia; that was one thing i noticed how similar Bahasa Indonesia is with Bahasa Malay. In regards to the movement of Malays from Sumatra to the Malay peninsula; it shows us how close and interrelated the people of the Malay Archipelago really are.

Sumatera is where Malay culture is born. As Srivijaya rise and expanding, Malay culture and language also spread outside Sumatera. Through conquest and trade the language travel across the archipelago mixed with local languages and evolved into many dialects.

The natives of the peninsula are Orang Asli and Mon Khmer people. Malays from Sumatera came and gradually "malaynize" the place especially during the height of Malacca Sultanate.

Regarding Minangkabau and Malay language similarity I think @Indos can give a better answer. He's a Minang after all.

@katarabhumi ,

This is a picture of Maranao women of Southern Mindanao, specifically from Lanao Del Sur and Lanao Del Norte Provinces. Notice how very similar it is to the Sulawesi regalia.

The dress and style in the first picture is even more similar to native Acehnese than Sulawesian. Open your map and locate Aceh in the western tip of Sumatera, see the distance between it and Mindanao.

One thing that i find intriguing is the use of headbands in various Southeast Asian communities, the headband worn by Acehnese men (as from your picture you've posted) and on the headbands worn by Tausug, Maranao people in the Philippines, is similar to the ones worn by native Ryukyu (Okinawan) people.


The following is the Ryukyu Mura, notice the headband worn by men:

Maybe not too long. But we don't usually use these kinds of "posters" anymore. The last time was during the war, lol.

To be honest, some of the old propaganda posters in pre-WW2 Japan was rather sympathetic to the Socialist Agenda, namely emphasis on the rights and empowerment of the Proletariat. Kind of reveals the spirit of the message of the old German movie from 1927 called "Metropolis".


An example;

"LISTEN! WORKERS OF ALL NATIONS!"

Safety leads to efficiency !!
