Yes, it's actually a recreation of Sanphet Prasat at a large private park called Muang Boran, The Ancient City, which features reconstructions of historic sites across Thailand (and includes a scaled down model of Phrea Vihear which is in Cambodia but remains a contested issue).
the Lesser Sunda region is known as "Nusa Tenggara" in Indonesian, which means "Southeast Islands". Hence the name of the provinces in this region is Nusa Tenggara Barat (West Nusa Tenggara, lit. West Southeast Islands) which covers Lombok and Sumbawa, and Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara, lit. East Southeast Islands) which covers Sumba, Flores, and West Timor. Although Bali is also inside Lesser Sunda, Bali is it's own province. Other islands too in this region want to become their own province, such as Sumbawa (when breakup from West Nusa Tenggara, will left only Lombok and thus Lombok province is born)
During early Independent day, Indonesia only have 8 provinces, one of them are Sunda Kecil (Lesser Sunda) which in present day are Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat, and Nusa Tenggara Timur. I don't know why so many Indonesian netizen in internet don't know about this, and think the name of lesser Sunda will insult Balinese, while in early Independent days, the governor of Lesser Sunda Province in reality was a Balinese. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.kompas.com/skola/read/2020/02/04/080000569/8-provinsi-pertama-indonesia-hasil-sidang-ppki
Additional information to the video: The land of New Guinea came from the Spanish explorer, Yñigo Ortiz de Retez, the person that found the island itself. He named it New Guinea because the people looks like African people that lives in the Guinea coast. Then, Dutch, Germany, and British Empire began to colonize the Island. Each has their own land. Dutch owned the western part (later become the province of Papua), Germany owned the northeastern part, and British owned the southeastern part. At the end of WW1, Germany lost their land to the British Empire, so the whole eastern part was theirs (later become Papua New Guinea). The western part was a part of Dutch East Indies. After the independence of Indonesia, it became "Irian" which is an acronym for "Ikut Republik Indonesia Anti Nederland" which means "Joined The Indonesian Republic Anti-Netherlands". Now it became Papua which originated from Melayu "papuwah" means "curly hair" describing the appearance of Papuan. Maluku could came from the Arabian traders that came to this island. They called it "Jazirat Al-Mulk" which means "Island of Kings", referring to the four major kingdoms in North Maluku (Jailolo, Ternate, Tidore, and Bacan). It could also mean "homeland" from Ternate language, "Moloku" or "Moloko". Jailolo (the other name for Halmahera) is just a capital district of one of North Maluku's regency, West Halmahera. I also didn't find the meaning. While Gilolo and Jilolo... I think it's just another variation of the word Jailolo. Yes, Riau could mean two things. First, it came from the name "Rio" which is Portuguese for "river" due to a lot of rivers there are in Riau, notably the Kampar River and Siak River. Second, it means "loud" which refers to the loud sound of Melayu Kingdom in Riau. I think the first one is more accurate. Lombok simply means "straight" which implies the "Sasak" (main group of people in Lombok) people's straighted heart (idk if this makes any sense in English), it means that the people are genuine and truthful. In his book, Java in the Fourteenth Century, Theodore Pigeaud explains that "Sumbawa" comes from "Simbava" which means the worshippers of "Shiva" one of three gods in Hindu beliefs. Sumba originated from the name of the wife of the first person to step in the island, "Humba". It's said that in Sumba they often pronounced "H" to "Z" or "S". Therefore, the name of "Humba" changed to "Sumba". I just wanna clear up that the correct name for Borneo in Indonesian is "Kalimantan" (I know a lot of people already mentioned this). And yes you're correct it means "burning air" from the word "Kalamanthana" in Sanskrit. Note: I searched all of these on Google in Indonesian. It really helps a lot to find these kinda thing on Google. Maybe perhaps you could translate it first to Indonesian, then type it on Google. Could work for another language too I guess... If you've read this far, please consider a like so the other can see this too.
Papua can also from “Sup I Papwa” in Biak language meaning land below the sun. The problem of “pepuwah” word is that it isn’t referred to prior to Marsden 1831 book. So we don’t know if the word comes later or before the papuans got the name. “Irian” is also from Biak which means “hot land” the acronym came later popularised by Sukarno. The problems of Arabic naming of Maluku is that the name already exist before contacts with Arabic traders. Maluku name is possibly tied to the ancient phrase “Maluku Kie Raha”. Which refer to the four primary kingdoms of Jailolo, Ternate, Tidore, and Bacan. Maluku here can be for “Ma-loku”: to hold, the phrase means:“confederation or brotherhood of four kingdoms”, or to “Ma-loko”: the world that support. In here the phrase means: ”the place with four mountains/kings”. Which is tied to the meaning of homeland you mentioned. This centred on the northern moluccans polity, and over the course of hundreds of years it is also used to refer to the sourthern part as well.

@jeanferdi Not quite. The name of Nusa Tenggara has appeared, at least, since 1950s with the establishment of West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara. Not so New Order "thing" apparently.
@@hoomanearth5822 yes, Bali was a part of Lesser Sunda Islands but it's not worth mentioning since the topic of conversation was about the correlation of New Order and the name of Nusa Tenggara. The name of Bali has been mentioned since Majapahit era, long before Indonesia even exists leave alone Soeharto era.
@@habilsubarqah sorry, i mean Bali was also established in the same periode as the establishment of East and West Nusa Tenggara in 1958. Btw, Bali isn't only part of Lesser Sunda archipelago but also part of the Province of Nusa Tenggara. Singaraja which is a city in Bali was the capital of the province of Nusa Tenggara. The name of Lesser Sunda was changed before the establishment of Bali, East and West Nusa Tenggara. That's why i said it was divided by the major religion of each Island, which are Hindu in Bali, Islam in West Nusa Tenggara, and Catholic in East Nusa Tenggara.
@ you didn't catch what i mean, Bali was a part of the Province of Lesser Sunda a.k.a Nusa Tenggara when Indonesia had only 8 provinces. When i say "each island" it refers to the province of Nusa Tenggara, not only Bali. LOL!
I can see the connection Sula = Cula (Spike/Horn) Wesi = Besi (Iron) So the "modern" version of "Sulawesi" is "Culabesi". Which looks like the original word "Celebes"
LOMBOK In Sasak language means Straight because Sasak People believe that their ancestors came straith to the east from the Java Island. That's why the Cultures between Java, Bali And Lombok quite Similar. Fyi I'm native Lombok People.

I think Indonesia's huge coverage of islands is a double-edged sword since many things like historical records here are poorly documented or lost entirely. It's a shame since I think there is a lot more to the islands than it seems.
Yes it is. And unfortunately most documents found here were rarely translated to English, so those was almost unknown to most of the world besides scientists and the natives.

[WARNING!!] The Moluccan name “Maluku” IS NOT derived from any malay words. We’re not malay (at all). Although malay language is very common to use in our daily life RN, we speak our own languages as well. We named it as “Bahasa Tana”. This is one of the austronesian languages >> Melanesian language for sure that connect us with other pacific islanders. The word Maluku came from moluccan language itself : “MOLO’UKU KIE RAHA”. It means The four greatest mount (4 kingdoms; Ternate, Tidore, Bacan and Jilolo).
My aunt is from Java, but it is pronounced Jawa like the little Star Wars desert scavengers. I remember when she told me that when I was a little kid and I got really excited.
@@r104world and how would that support your point? Malacca strait run northwest to southeast with aceh as it's westernmost point (which is in the northwest part of the strait) while the actual port of malaka lies much closer to it's southeastern end (which is further south). But here is the easiest way to prove it, just open a map and see for yourself how aceh is actually north of malaka, not south of it.
Sumatra was known in ancient times by the Sanskrit names of Suwarnadwīpa ('Island of Gold') and Suwarnabhūmi ('Land of Gold'), because of the gold deposits in the island's highlands. Java after the Sanskrit name Yawadvipa. dvipa means island
Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population which makes up 86.7% of its people, then there is around 10% or 11% Christian, nearly 2% Hindu (with a lot of Hindu culture remnants), and less than 1% Buddhist. Yet in the beginning of the video you showed a recreation of the Theravada Buddhist "Sansphet Prasat" located at Muang Boran: The Ancient City, an historic theme park in Samut Prakan, Thailand.
What i know about Sulawesi name came from how good their iron to make weapons such as spear and sword. Back in Majapahit era they(Sulawesi people) was the one who provides all of Majapahit empire armory
3:33 Jailolo was one if the four main principalilities in the island. Sultanate of Jailolo. The other being the Sultanates of Bacan, Ternate, and Tidore. All of them still exist until this day.
Sumetra is from the word samutiram ( சமுத்திரம் ) meaning a vast ocean. Probably people who traveled so far from India who named this island after traveling a big ocean(samudera). This word is still giving the same meaning in Malay.
ℹ️💢 02:47 I think Maluku is somehow from Arabic Malik (Malikun for singular non definitive) which means a King or an owner also could mean ruler or anyone with higher power. ℹ️💢 03:29 Jilolo / Jaililo might be from “Jalil” which means the honored in Arabic, this island ruled by king Yusuf whom his family converted to Islam and their port called by Spanish and Portuguese with their Latino male naming so ended with (O) hence Jalil went as Jalilu or Jalilo [The honored Yusuf / His honored port] “Jailolo was in fact the only real port in Halmahera” - Wikipedia. ℹ️💢 05:00 Sunda and here I’m guessing again might be from Sund (Sond) which in old Arabic means mountains ⛰ also relative word called “Sundus” which refers to a green luxury textiles maybe these people living in mountains or they wear green beautiful clothes or simply the area is so lush with greens, In ancient Arabic India was Called “Land of the Sind” most likely for its green & mountain areas. And even nowadays some plants 🌱 called Sindi if they’re evergreen or imported from India. Even Vishnu when depicted as Sunda 05:29 they paint him with green fancy textile ? This Sundus textile name goes back to ancient Bahrain 🇧🇭 ( Dilmun) it was known for this luxury green textile which was used until recently as a bride 👰 dress in Arab Gulf Cities from Kuwait 🇰🇼 to Oman 🇴🇲 Wow I went all over the place 😂 hope this might be interesting for someone 🌹 I’m just speculating here but in that part of the world they use a lot of Arabic words after all they have the largest Islamic populations & Trima Kasi / Shukran / thank you 🙏🏻
Hmm are you Indonesian? If so you must be know that Maluku archipelago is mostly populated Christians and that Sunda word is from region in west Java where Sir Raffles Arnold built a sanctuary for researching flora, fauna and geography of Indonesia and its been calling that since Buddhist time so your statement are very wrong. Just want to add even though now we use a lot of Arabic name for baby but in naming place we usually use a local language name
y r u geh? I’m not Indonesian I’m just speculating here I’m not stating these as facts sorry if that may offend you didn’t meant that way, but even though they’re not Muslims many Arabic words are used around the world and some words are very common like for example take the word “House” its from Arabic Housh “means the courtyard or a open space inside a home” Maluku even in the video he said it means chief so not so far from Arabic , many words are used around the world by arbitrary reasons so they being Christian or Buddhist won’t necessarily mean they won’t adapt other words from Arabic or Hindi or English or Spanish etc & thank you

For some reason, the shape of Sulawesi has always reminded me of the traditional wood-carved incence smokers (Räuchermännchen) from the Harz mountains here in Germany. It looks like the dumpy sort with a long pipe, waving his arm. 😁
almost every Indonesian in their elementary school years misremember or thought that Sulawesi, the island that looks like a fancy K, is called Kalimantan. because it looks like a K. how convenient would that be!
@jeanferdi sir you underestimate the absurdity zoomers are capable of in understanding school and willingness to expose said absurdity on menfess twitter
nice one. You nailed the local pronounciation too. sort of 😆 There are many new info for me, even as an indonesian. Most of those names surely derived/came from native tribes, but its hard and took much effort to fully understand the etymology and its original meaning, as there are thousands of different language/dialect to understand. So good job.
💙 *Europe: driving a car 3 hours can pass through 3 countries* ❤️ *Borneo/Kalimantan, Indonesia: driving a car 10 hours still in the same district or city* 🥱😴🤦🤮
For the sundanese etymology I would look into sanskrit as the influence is strong here. Even if you look at javanese scripts and name origins some words sound like sanksrit. If your theory on the Vishnu incarnation is onto something, well anything with the su and sometimes in english sw sound is a marker of goodness.
Celebes isn't native name, it's just European miss-pronunciation. According to people in Makassar, it's named after Sala bassi, of course the word bassi mean iron like besi/wesi that mentioned in this video.
Hi im from Sulawesi island, according to our elders old name of Sulawesi is Celebes as you mention it too, but its different meaning as you described. According to the elders when western people came to the island for the first time they saw people are making type of dagger that usually people bring arround for self protection, when the western asked what is the name of this island the native can not understand their language so they assumed the western ask what are they making and they answer "sele bassi" meaning self protection dagger that usually weared by keeping it arround the waist
One of the folk etymologies of the Maluku islands is Portuguese "malucas" (crazy) because it is said they were promptly attacked by the natives the moment they arrived there.

10:45 my history book said that (i am an indonesian student).

Hey, I'm from Ambon, Maluku, thanks for making this video, you're awesome. I know that the word Maluku came from "Malak/Malik" which was originated from semitic language roots, like Arabic or Hebrew,.but then it assimilated into our language,, but for the head of a bull, that's new for me,, I didn't even know that Maluku archipelago looks like a bull's head which now I find extremely cool😂. So thanks for the information, GOD bless you .
Actually the word “Maluku” came from Moluccan language itself (bahasa tana/one of the austronesian languages >> Melanesian for sure!) : “MOLO’UKU KIE RAHA”. It means The four greatest mount (king) in the east (Ternate, Tidore, Bacan & Jilolo). This phrase is very common and being used by all people in North Maluku. Unfortunately, people in South Maluku use the other loan words to identify these lands : “al-Mulk” and “molokh” that have been used by semitic people. Even though the meaning of these words are still mentioning about the existence of KINGS. As a Moluccan, I’ll take MOLO’UKU as the original name of this archipelago. Because that is my identity and my pride as the pacific islanders. I think we need to know who we are and proud of ourselves, rather than try to use someone else’s thought to identify who we are. Mena!!! 🖤
Moluku appear in Negarakertagama, a majapahit literature during hayam wuruk, so I don't think it comes from arabic/semitic. I think it's your own language since Java doesn't have that word as well.
@@aldiron8587 well if you can prove that those words developed organically then good,thank you for the knowledge :). Otherwise there is still a possibility that the word MOLO'UKU itself a loan word.
The island of Borneo could have been the only island in the entire world to house 4 countries (Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines) with the Philippines claiming the Upper East part of Sabah and although the Philippines still claims it belongs to the country under the Sulu Sultinate (which imo doesn't really exist anymore in the sense that their main branch died years ago) and that the region itself had a referendum and voted to stay with then Malay nation. It's quite interesting when you discover something while reading about an island's history.
FunFact : In the past, Dutch and British bartered some Island from Moluccas Island (Indonesia) named 'Run Island' with some Island in USA, now that island become famous named 'Manhatten' (New York). And then Dutch and British bartered again some their palece, those were New York (New Amsterdam) and Suriname (in South America). Thats why New York has some region named 'Batavia'. Fyi, Jakarta's name before became 'Jakarta' it was 'Batavia'. Thx u Sir🤘
My mom is from one of the islands of Maluku named Kai. In their language kai means know and that when foreigners came to name the place they all said kai waido, which meant they did not know. However, this was the name they got referred to and hence always just used that
Indonesian Flores got its name for Portuguese missionaries, and majority of people that living there are Roman Catholics, and some of them have Iberian sounding sounding surname like Fernandez, De Laga, etc.
The name of Maluku is from Arabic language, witch mean King, because when the Arabic people came to this islands, this place have so many Kings, so they named it Maluku.
@@andhiko Lombok also mean chili in Makassar, South Sulawesi. Some historians believe that lombok means chili pepper in Javanese because in the past Javanese imported that commodity from Lombok Island, and simply name it after its origin.
In my knowledge ,those names were derived from imperium , Sriwijaya (6 AD) and Majapahit (8 AD) .... Kalimantan ,'Kali' means river ,so Kalimantan connotes as 'the island of rivers' ,since there are hundreds of rivers there..... Sulawesi ,'wesi' means iron ,or metal ,since that island have lots of metalic resources (mistly iron and nickel )
Obviously, the drink took its nickname from the island, and not vice versa; but the ironic thing is that coffee 'rust' - a kind of fungus - wiped out most of Java's coffee plantations, and now they grow (more) tea instead.
Since you mentioned Lombok, I think I need to leave a comment. There are a few versions where Lombok gets its name: 1. Lombok in Javanese means: Chilli which is quite make sense. Because in our tradition, No food is yum enough unless there are a lot of Chilli in it. Most of the Sasak (Lombok) people eat spicy foods. 2. There used to be an ancient kingdom long before the Samalas erupted called Lombok. You are right, in this case Lombok means Straight. But not Straight in terms of Direction. But is more Straight in the people's behaviour. Straight (Lurus in Bahasa Indonesia) In our daily life we used the word Lombok to identify someone who is focus on specific thing, not care too much on what's on the right or left, or what other people would think. The simplest explanation is; If we believe in someone or something, we will never listen to other people's thought. That's why, until today we still have a religious community called Wetu Telu sect (it's like a combination of Hindu-Budha, and Islam). The story began, when the first people come to Lombok to introduce Islam, we were only taught a few things about Islam (not completed), but then, the Ulama who brought Islam either passed away or Left the Island for some reasons, the people of Lombok trusted him only. Anyone coming to introduce Islam or other religion after that, the Wetu Telu people will never follow until now. That's how we use the word LOMBOK in Sasak language. Also if your parent tell you a B as an A, you will save it as A. Even a thousand people try to change your mind, you will not follow. It all because we put trust to those who deserves it more on top of everything. Maybe best words to describe it are genuine and truthful. One more thing, are the Wetu Telu people less educated? There are so many well educated people comes from the Wetu Telu community. But they know how to separate their knowledge, attitude, behaviour and belief. I think this applied to most of the people in Indonesia. Even thought, we are 80% Islam, but practically we still carry on our traditions with us in everything that we do including the religious practices. That's why we are so different than the Islam in Arab. We believe in the religion brought to us, but we will never leave our traditions which we believe as our main identities. Speaking about religion before Islam, most people in Lombok (or maybe all) were practicing Tantra I guess, many claimed that we were Hindu and Budha, but in fact Hindu and Budha comes later after Islam. You can trace it from the Wetu Telu people. Please refer to a book about TANTRA NUSANTARA. Note: It's unlike the Tantra things that we oftenly see in movies. Many of us believe that Tantra is our original belief which practically seem quite similar to Hindu and Budha. This is also the reason why The Hindu in Indonesia is so different in many ways than the Hindu in India. Also Budha in Tibet with the old Budha in Indonesia. Please refer to a book about Budha and Srivijaya. Also need to check out when Indonesia gets their religion named as HINDU. Ask the Hindu expert of Bali, are their religion really the HINDU that comes from India? Things becomes so confusing after the colonialization by the Dutch with their Devide et empera strategies " the changed everything" to confuse people. Or maybe also to bury the real histories. Please check how many thousands of places had their name changed during the colonialisations for administrative purposes? They should have done their administrative data based on the real names. Proof: My villages in my neighborhood no longer using their original names. Including my own village. There are so many mysteries left uncovered about Indonesia with its 17.840 islands, hundreds, or if not thousands of different tribes, languages, traditions and cultures. By the way, thank you for making this video. Much appreciated. Apologies if my English isn't good enough.
nah, it comes from Sasak language "Lombo", which means straight or honesty. in Negarakertagama literature there is a phrase "Lombo' Mirah Sasak Adi" which means "honesty is the gem that states out goodness". and in sasak language, we call it "sebia" for chili

The most interesting and thematic origin name of Maluku is from the saying “Maluku Kie Raha”. Which itself has many meaning but centered around the four mountains of the islands which have their own ruler. It refers to Tidore, Ternate, Jailolo, and Bacan. Maluku can be from “Ma” = to support, Loko = world/place. So “Maluku Kie Raha” means “The place of four mountains”.

the Lesser Sunda region is known as "Nusa Tenggara" in Indonesian, which means "Southeast Islands". Hence the name of the provinces in this region is Nusa Tenggara Barat (West Nusa Tenggara, lit. West Southeast Islands) which covers Lombok and Sumbawa, and Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara, lit. East Southeast Islands) which covers Sumba, Flores, and West Timor. Although Bali is also inside Lesser Sunda, Bali is it's own province. Other islands too in this region want to become their own province, such as Sumbawa (when breakup from West Nusa Tenggara, will left only Lombok and thus Lombok province is born)
During early Independent day, Indonesia only have 8 provinces, one of them are Sunda Kecil (Lesser Sunda) which in present day are Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat, and Nusa Tenggara Timur. I don't know why so many Indonesian netizen in internet don't know about this, and think the name of lesser Sunda will insult Balinese, while in early Independent days, the governor of Lesser Sunda Province in reality was a Balinese.

Additional information to the video:
The land of New Guinea came from the Spanish explorer, Yñigo Ortiz de Retez, the person that found the island itself. He named it New Guinea because the people looks like African people that lives in the Guinea coast. Then, Dutch, Germany, and British Empire began to colonize the Island. Each has their own land. Dutch owned the western part (later become the province of Papua), Germany owned the northeastern part, and British owned the southeastern part. At the end of WW1, Germany lost their land to the British Empire, so the whole eastern part was theirs (later become Papua New Guinea). The western part was a part of Dutch East Indies. After the independence of Indonesia, it became "Irian" which is an acronym for "Ikut Republik Indonesia Anti Nederland" which means "Joined The Indonesian Republic Anti-Netherlands". Now it became Papua which originated from Melayu "papuwah" means "curly hair" describing the appearance of Papuan.
Maluku could came from the Arabian traders that came to this island. They called it "Jazirat Al-Mulk" which means "Island of Kings", referring to the four major kingdoms in North Maluku (Jailolo, Ternate, Tidore, and Bacan). It could also mean "homeland" from Ternate language, "Moloku" or "Moloko".
Jailolo (the other name for Halmahera) is just a capital district of one of North Maluku's regency, West Halmahera. I also didn't find the meaning. While Gilolo and Jilolo... I think it's just another variation of the word Jailolo.
Yes, Riau could mean two things. First, it came from the name "Rio" which is Portuguese for "river" due to a lot of rivers there are in Riau, notably the Kampar River and Siak River. Second, it means "loud" which refers to the loud sound of Melayu Kingdom in Riau. I think the first one is more accurate.
Lombok simply means "straight" which implies the "Sasak" (main group of people in Lombok) people's straighted heart (idk if this makes any sense in English), it means that the people are genuine and truthful.
In his book, Java in the Fourteenth Century, Theodore Pigeaud explains that "Sumbawa" comes from "Simbava" which means the worshippers of "Shiva" one of three gods in Hindu beliefs.
Sumba originated from the name of the wife of the first person to step in the island, "Humba". It's said that in Sumba they often pronounced "H" to "Z" or "S". Therefore, the name of "Humba" changed to "Sumba".
I just wanna clear up that the correct name for Borneo in Indonesian is "Kalimantan" (I know a lot of people already mentioned this). And yes you're correct it means "burning air" from the word "Kalamanthana" in Sanskrit.
Note: I searched all of these on Google in Indonesian. It really helps a lot to find these kinda thing on Google. Maybe perhaps you could translate it first to Indonesian, then type it on Google. Could work for another language too I guess...
If you've read this far, please consider a like so the other can see this too.
I remember moloku or moloko actually appears on Majapahit Literature Nagarakertagama during Hayam wuruk era
Nice hard work ty :)
Thank you~~
Papua can also from “Sup I Papwa” in Biak language meaning land below the sun. The problem of “pepuwah” word is that it isn’t referred to prior to Marsden 1831 book. So we don’t know if the word comes later or before the papuans got the name.
“Irian” is also from Biak which means “hot land” the acronym came later popularised by Sukarno.
The problems of Arabic naming of Maluku is that the name already exist before contacts with Arabic traders. Maluku name is possibly tied to the ancient phrase “Maluku Kie Raha”. Which refer to the four primary kingdoms of Jailolo, Ternate, Tidore, and Bacan. Maluku here can be for “Ma-loku”: to hold, the phrase means:“confederation or brotherhood of four kingdoms”, or to “Ma-loko”: the world that support. In here the phrase means: ”the place with four mountains/kings”. Which is tied to the meaning of homeland you mentioned. This centred on the northern moluccans polity, and over the course of hundreds of years it is also used to refer to the sourthern part as well.

@@habilsubarqah sorry, i mean Bali was also established in the same periode as the establishment of East and West Nusa Tenggara in 1958. Btw, Bali isn't only part of Lesser Sunda archipelago but also part of the Province of Nusa Tenggara. Singaraja which is a city in Bali was the capital of the province of Nusa Tenggara. The name of Lesser Sunda was changed before the establishment of Bali, East and West Nusa Tenggara. That's why i said it was divided by the major religion of each Island, which are Hindu in Bali, Islam in West Nusa Tenggara, and Catholic in East Nusa Tenggara.
@ you didn't catch what i mean, Bali was a part of the Province of Lesser Sunda a.k.a Nusa Tenggara when Indonesia had only 8 provinces. When i say "each island" it refers to the province of Nusa Tenggara, not only Bali. LOL!

The Moluccan name “Maluku” IS NOT derived from any malay words. We’re not malay (at all). Although malay language is very common to use in our daily life RN, we speak our own languages as well. We named it as “Bahasa Tana”. This is one of the austronesian languages >> Melanesian language for sure that connect us with other pacific islanders.
The word Maluku came from moluccan language itself : “MOLO’UKU KIE RAHA”. It means The four greatest mount (4 kingdoms; Ternate, Tidore, Bacan and Jilolo).

Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population which makes up 86.7% of its people, then there is around 10% or 11% Christian, nearly 2% Hindu (with a lot of Hindu culture remnants), and less than 1% Buddhist.

3:33 Jailolo was one if the four main principalilities in the island. Sultanate of Jailolo. The other being the Sultanates of Bacan, Ternate, and Tidore. All of them still exist until this day.
Sumetra is from the word samutiram ( சமுத்திரம் ) meaning a vast ocean. Probably people who traveled so far from India who named this island after traveling a big ocean(samudera). This word is still giving the same meaning in Malay.
ℹ️💢 02:47 I think Maluku is somehow from Arabic Malik (Malikun for singular non definitive) which means a King or an owner also could mean ruler or anyone with higher power.
ℹ️💢 03:29 Jilolo / Jaililo might be from “Jalil” which means the honored in Arabic, this island ruled by king Yusuf whom his family converted to Islam and their port called by Spanish and Portuguese with their Latino male naming so ended with (O) hence Jalil went as Jalilu or Jalilo
[The honored Yusuf / His honored port]
“Jailolo was in fact the only real port in Halmahera” - Wikipedia.
ℹ️💢 05:00 Sunda and here I’m guessing again might be from Sund (Sond) which in old Arabic means mountains ⛰ also relative word called “Sundus” which refers to a green luxury textiles maybe these people living in mountains or they wear green beautiful clothes or simply the area is so lush with greens, In ancient Arabic India was Called “Land of the Sind” most likely for its green & mountain areas.
And even nowadays some plants 🌱 called Sindi if they’re evergreen or imported from India.
Even Vishnu when depicted as Sunda 05:29 they paint him with green fancy textile ?

Hmm are you Indonesian? If so you must be know that Maluku archipelago is mostly populated Christians and that Sunda word is from region in west Java where Sir Raffles Arnold built a sanctuary for researching flora, fauna and geography of Indonesia and its been calling that since Buddhist time so your statement are very wrong.
Just want to add even though now we use a lot of Arabic name for baby but in naming place we usually use a local language name
y r u geh? I’m not Indonesian I’m just speculating here I’m not stating these as facts sorry if that may offend you didn’t meant that way, but even though they’re not Muslims many Arabic words are used around the world and some words are very common like for example take the word “House” its from Arabic Housh “means the courtyard or a open space inside a home”
Maluku even in the video he said it means chief so not so far from Arabic , many words are used around the world by arbitrary reasons so they being Christian or Buddhist won’t necessarily mean they won’t adapt other words from Arabic or Hindi or English or Spanish etc & thank you

Hey, I'm from Ambon, Maluku, thanks for making this video, you're awesome.
I know that the word Maluku came from "Malak/Malik" which was originated from semitic language roots, like Arabic or Hebrew,.but then it assimilated into our language,, but for the head of a bull, that's new for me,, I didn't even know that Maluku archipelago looks like a bull's head which now I find extremely cool😂.
So thanks for the information, GOD bless you .
Actually the word “Maluku” came from Moluccan language itself (bahasa tana/one of the austronesian languages >> Melanesian for sure!) : “MOLO’UKU KIE RAHA”. It means The four greatest mount (king) in the east (Ternate, Tidore, Bacan & Jilolo). This phrase is very common and being used by all people in North Maluku.
Unfortunately, people in South Maluku use the other loan words to identify these lands : “al-Mulk” and “molokh” that have been used by semitic people.
Even though the meaning of these words are still mentioning about the existence of KINGS. As a Moluccan, I’ll take MOLO’UKU as the original name of this archipelago. Because that is my identity and my pride as the pacific islanders. I think we need to know who we are and proud of ourselves, rather than try to use someone else’s thought to identify who we are. Mena!!! 🖤
Moluku appear in Negarakertagama, a majapahit literature during hayam wuruk, so I don't think it comes from arabic/semitic. I think it's your own language since Java doesn't have that word as well.

Indonesian Flores got its name for Portuguese missionaries, and majority of people that living there are Roman Catholics, and some of them have Iberian sounding sounding surname like Fernandez, De Laga, etc.
East East is like like like.
Wow, that lost meaning fast.
Great content 🔥🔥
True 🔥🔥
The pic at the start isn't in Indonesia, but it's in Thailand. 😅

The name of Maluku is from Arabic language, witch mean King, because when the Arabic people came to this islands, this place have so many Kings, so they named it Maluku.
It actually blows my mind if Lombok is not derived from chili. I mean, chili is lombok/cabe in indonesian
My tour guide told me it means "small" from the word "lembe"
Lombok means chili in Javanese only I think.
@@andhiko it is also in Banjarese
@@andhiko Lombok also mean chili in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
Some historians believe that lombok means chili pepper in Javanese because in the past Javanese imported that commodity from Lombok Island, and simply name it after its origin.
@@faustinuskaryadi6610 its actually make sense, since in the old times people named a place mostly based on what's popular from that place
Many Indonesian kingdoms arrived in indo ✓
East Indonesia ✓
Bali Kingdom ✓
And More!
In my knowledge ,those names were derived from imperium , Sriwijaya (6 AD) and Majapahit (8 AD) ....
Kalimantan ,'Kali' means river ,so Kalimantan connotes as 'the island of rivers' ,since there are hundreds of rivers there.....
Sulawesi ,'wesi' means iron ,or metal ,since that island have lots of metalic resources (mistly iron and nickel )
Fun fact: Lombok in Javanese means chili. And since Sasak (Native people in Lombok) cuisine is quite spicy, it is somewhat fitting.
and kalimantan mean the river of ex-girlfriend
@@mataratriaglanie3660 Yeah... That one also fitting in my experience 😂😂😂... LOL

So the Java Came from Java Coffe that Grow in Java... interesting.
Come to Java bro. We have many variety and cheap coffe here..
Obviously, the drink took its nickname from the island, and not vice versa; but the ironic thing is that coffee 'rust' - a kind of fungus - wiped out most of Java's coffee plantations, and now they grow (more) tea instead.
@@dlairth what do you expect? Jawa mean rice, we grow rice since ancient times before dutch robbed us and force us to grow coffee and sugar cane
I can tell you that Flores really is, if not, one of the most beautiful island in the world.
Maluku is named by Arab merchant came from Arabic Jazirah Al-Maluk meaning Islands of Kings because many local kingdom in there
Since you mentioned Lombok, I think I need to leave a comment.
There are a few versions where Lombok gets its name:
1. Lombok in Javanese means: Chilli which is quite make sense. Because in our tradition, No food is yum enough unless there are a lot of Chilli in it. Most of the Sasak (Lombok) people eat spicy foods.
2. There used to be an ancient kingdom long before the Samalas erupted called Lombok. You are right, in this case Lombok means Straight. But not Straight in terms of Direction. But is more Straight in the people's behaviour. Straight (Lurus in Bahasa Indonesia) In our daily life we used the word Lombok to identify someone who is focus on specific thing, not care too much on what's on the right or left, or what other people would think. The simplest explanation is; If we believe in someone or something, we will never listen to other people's thought. That's why, until today we still have a religious community called Wetu Telu sect (it's like a combination of Hindu-Budha, and Islam). The story began, when the first people come to Lombok to introduce Islam, we were only taught a few things about Islam (not completed), but then, the Ulama who brought Islam either passed away or Left the Island for some reasons, the people of Lombok trusted him only. Anyone coming to introduce Islam or other religion after that, the Wetu Telu people will never follow until now. That's how we use the word LOMBOK in Sasak language. Also if your parent tell you a B as an A, you will save it as A. Even a thousand people try to change your mind, you will not follow. It all because we put trust to those who deserves it more on top of everything. Maybe best words to describe it are genuine and truthful.
One more thing, are the Wetu Telu people less educated? There are so many well educated people comes from the Wetu Telu community. But they know how to separate their knowledge, attitude, behaviour and belief. I think this applied to most of the people in Indonesia. Even thought, we are 80% Islam, but practically we still carry on our traditions with us in everything that we do including the religious practices. That's why we are so different than the Islam in Arab. We believe in the religion brought to us, but we will never leave our traditions which we believe as our main identities.
Speaking about religion before Islam, most people in Lombok (or maybe all) were practicing Tantra I guess, many claimed that we were Hindu and Budha, but in fact Hindu and Budha comes later after Islam. You can trace it from the Wetu Telu people. Please refer to a book about TANTRA NUSANTARA. Note: It's unlike the Tantra things that we oftenly see in movies.
Many of us believe that Tantra is our original belief which practically seem quite similar to Hindu and Budha. This is also the reason why The Hindu in Indonesia is so different in many ways than the Hindu in India. Also Budha in Tibet with the old Budha in Indonesia. Please refer to a book about Budha and Srivijaya. Also need to check out when Indonesia gets their religion named as HINDU. Ask the Hindu expert of Bali, are their religion really the HINDU that comes from India?
Things becomes so confusing after the colonialization by the Dutch with their Devide et empera strategies " the changed everything" to confuse people. Or maybe also to bury the real histories.
Please check how many thousands of places had their name changed during the colonialisations for administrative purposes? They should have done their administrative data based on the real names.
Proof: My villages in my neighborhood no longer using their original names. Including my own village.
There are so many mysteries left uncovered about Indonesia with its 17.840 islands, hundreds, or if not thousands of different tribes, languages, traditions and cultures.
By the way, thank you for making this video. Much appreciated. Apologies if my English isn't good enough.
As Javanese I agree with you, there's no Hinduism back then even in India, Hinduism is just western term introduced recently
Lombok mean straight.
It came from the straightness of the road.
If you want to see beautiful landscape minus the crowd, Lombok really is the place.
Lombok comes from the word of the same spelling meaning chili. This is a reference to the strong chili culture in the island.
nah, it comes from Sasak language "Lombo", which means straight or honesty. in Negarakertagama literature there is a phrase "Lombo' Mirah Sasak Adi" which means "honesty is the gem that states out goodness". and in sasak language, we call it "sebia" for chili
0:29 did you just said 500km but the video says 5000km haha
You forgot to mention old names of sumatra...it was Andalas...and i'm not sure where's that name coming from...
Andalas is probably come from corrupted pronunciation of Al Andalus, so I think the name of Sumatra is older and more native than the name Andalas.
Sumatera = Andalas
Nias = Niha
Java = jawi / Sunda
Borneo = Kalimanantha / Banua
Bali = Bali
Celebes = Sula wesi / Wanua
Island on east celebes = Sula
Sumbawa = Samawa / Bima
Sumba = Humba
Savu = Hawu
Roti = Lote
Molluca = Maluku
Timor = Timu
Flores = Nipa
Papua = Papua
Sumatra = Swarnadwipa
Java = Jawadwipa
Sunda = sundapura (a capital city of Tarumanegara in west side of java)
Malay = Malayu - Malayupura (a capital of Dharmasraya in southern sumatera)
Indonesia can be the island with the most Islands
Cause Canada and Finland islands are mostly from lakes
Also Finland??
Oh ok
They are called inlands
Euy, Sundanese gang 👊😎
5:28 best part
Europeans 17th century : I shall claim this set of islands as spice islands by Thee
Europeans 21st century: woahh, why is this Indomie so spicy??
Gekoloniseerd
The most interesting and thematic origin name of Maluku is from the saying “Maluku Kie Raha”. Which itself has many meaning but centered around the four mountains of the islands which have their own ruler. It refers to Tidore, Ternate, Jailolo, and Bacan. Maluku can be from “Ma” = to support, Loko = world/place. So “Maluku Kie Raha” means “The place of four mountains”.
Title : add "Indonesia'
Indonesian : It's a Free real estate
Sunda come from java words
aSU=dog and nda(or ondo)=stairs sunda=dog climbing stairs
