Austronesere
Austronesere,[1] austronesiske folk[2] eller austronesisk-talende folk[3] er forskellige beslægtede folkeslag i Asien, Oceanien og Afrika, som taler sprog i den austronesiske sprogfamilie. Folkeslagene inkluderer oprindelige taiwanere; de største etniske grupper i Malaysia, Østtimor, Filippinerne, Indonesien, Brunei, Cocosøerne, Madagaskar, Mikronesien og Polynesien, såvel som malayerne i Singapore, de polynesiske folk i New Zealand og Hawaii, og de ikke-Papuan i Melanesien. Der findes også minoriteter i Pattani-regionen i Thailand og Cham-områderne i Vietnam, Cambodia, og Hainan-regionen i Kina, dele af Sri Lanka, sydlige Myanmar og på nogle af Andamanerne. De geografiske områder, som er befolket af austronesisk-talende folk, kendes samlet som Austronesien.

- ^ According to the anthropologist Wilhelm Solheim II: "I emphasize again, as I have done in many other articles, that 'Austronesian' is a linguistic term and is the name of a super language family. It should never be used as a name for a people, genetically speaking, or a culture. To refer to people who speak an Austronesian language the phrase 'Austronesian-speaking people' should be used."
