user:Dravidianhero wrongly attibutes Sanskrit inscriptions in Indonesia and Malaysia indiscriminately to Tamil people. Only inscriptions in the Tamil language can undoubtedly be attributed to Tamil people. Some inscriptions from the 11th century are from Tamil people because there were indeed Tamil people coming to islans Southeast Asia at that time. Prior to that, it was Western Austronesians who had the maritime expertise to sail far away, not the Tamil (see Liebner, Horst, "The virtual reconstruction of the Nan-Han/Cirebon wreck", EurASEAA Dublin 2012 14th International Conference), Humboldt 22:49, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Southeast Asia archipelago not malay world

The term Malay world is irrelevant nowadays, because there is no clarity about the actual region. what the Malay world claims is in fact only the Malay Peninsula and the coast of Sumateraisland and Borneo island (not the entire Southeast Asian archipelago) 125.164.11.229 (talk) 03:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sanskrit inscriptions in Nusantara → Sanskrit inscriptions in the Indo-Australian Archipelago – More up-to-date and WP:RECOGNIZABLE terminology. I'm also good with "southeast asian archipelago" or "Malay archipelago". Cremastra (u — c) 13:31, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Sanskrit inscriptions in the Malay Archipelago. Under WP:NCPLACE, MOS:GEO and WP:CONSUB we should follow the title of the geographic article itself. "Indo-Australian Archipelago" redirects to Malay Archipelago, and this is also the modern name. While there is a Nusantara (term) article, it is on the specifically Indonesian term not a modern region, which isn't as common (especially separate from Indonesia's new capital). This likely should also be applied to Tamil inscriptions in Nusantara? Dank Jae 18:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging Ahalgao, who moved articles to titles with "Nusantara" in them. I assume you have an opinion in this discussion. Cremastra (u — c) 20:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Sanskrit inscriptions in the Malay Archipelago. Alternatively, "Sanskrit inscriptions in Maritime Southeast Asia" works. Agree with DankJae that the Tamil article be moved also. Srnec (talk) 21:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
