Southeast Asia
Maritime Southeast Asia (as opposed to Mainland Southeast Asia) comprises the countries of Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia (East Malaysia), the Philippines, and Singapore. Maritime Southeast Asia is sometimes also referred to as Island Southeast Asia, Insular Southeast Asia or Oceanic Southeast Asia. The 16th-century term "East Indies" and the later 19th-century term "Malay Archipelago" are also used to refer to Maritime Southeast Asia.
