If you read the post I posted earlier, Melayu can mean 'migrating'
too, though another meaning is 'fleeing'
So if they are migrating, Melayu is applicable too.
You doubt 'Melayu' comes from Tamil language
But that is also a theory like your Javanese theory
And according to your theory, if you flee a war, you are a
coward
This is applicable to any race that fled from a war in their
country. This can be applicable to the whole damn world man
Ask any javanese ppl what melayu means and they will say its
fleeing... I asked my maid, my maids friend... Melayu means
fleeing.... Who is the one who placed migrating in the meaning...
Are they javanese or some researcher etc?
This topic is like fixing a puzzle... look at our history and
how do you think the word tamil comes in? The malay archipelago is
not that mountainous... India also mountainous, why dont they call
themselves melayu too...
There are many small theories, piece it all together... then
history makes sense...
and one post said that there is a place in sumatra and there's
melayu river or something... Is that before the malays
have established their civilisation or after since they
have photos at that time too...
and cowardice part is not part of my theory... It's my
perspective... Ppl who ran away from their obligations are
cowards.
yes, a group of ppl from all races in the world fled their ppl
during a war. The thing is are you the decendent of all the ppl who
fled?
