Ethnic Roots of the Southeast Asian Nations (source: History of Asian Nations by Sonia M. Zaide 5th and 8th editions)- Thais- Chinese in racial origin with a mixture of Malay blood
- Burmese- a race mixture of Tibetan, Chinese and Indians
- Vietnamese-came from a mixture of Chinese, Malays and Thais (PS. I hope that means that Thai-kun and Viet-chan are distantly related
they're my OTP, that's why TuT) - Cambodians-most are Khmers (while the rest are Chinese, Vietnamese or from the primitive tribes)
- Laotians -cousins of the Thais when it comes to race, religions, customs and speech
- Timorese-mostly Malay-Polynesians
- Bruneians-mostly Malays, followed by the Chinese, then the aborigines and, lastly, Europeans and other minorities
- Malaysians- (of course,) Malays with some Chinese and Indian blood in them; they are the ethnic siblings of the Filipinos and Indonesians
The First European Explorers to reach the Philippines? (source: History of Asian Nations by Sonia M. Zaide 5th and 8th editions)Answer: The Portuguese
However, it would be the Spanish who'll come back and claim the Philippine island as a crown Colony to the king of Spain later on...
Pan de Sal- the salted bread Filipinos love to eat was not introduced by the Spanish, as most would think, but by the Portuguese during the 15th century. The traditional breakfast bun would later be categorized as merienda to the Filipinos. (source : Kulinarya: A Guidebook to Philippine Cuisine) Would you like to know the what makes a 'nation' and a 'country' different from one another? Or would you like me to put in some other facts you'd like to know? Just put them in the comments if you want me to do so or to do something else related to the ff. mentioned.
In the meantime, I hope you like really long trivia I set up here.
You learn about Indonesia too? I'm impressed
