Malaysia
Until recent times Malaysia was said by Europeans to be in the East Indies. Now that part of the world is called South East Asia, SEA.
I bet that the word 'Malay' is of ancient southern India origin. Although Malaysia may be best know for its seagoing and trading past,the origin of the word 'Malay' may mean something like 'mountainous' which much of the interior of Malaysia is.
To me much of the Malay language and people seem related to Polynesia people. The fact is that they are related to that great mixture of people making up the cultures of South East Asia. India has long been a strong influence there. China to has had long standing influence and that influence increased during the rise and fall of European empire building in the area. Many Chinese were brought to Malaysia as workers during that time.
I suspect that the Malay language is spoken as the first language of just over half the population. Chinese speakers are next in number. Several other languages are popular including English.
Sunni Islam is the largest religious group and includes over 60& of the population. Buddhism is next and is practiced by less than 20% of the population. There is religious freedom, but Islam is the state religion.
Education is good and is open to a wide portion of the population.
Malaysians can play a good game of soccer even though Americans may be the only people to call it soccer.
The title of the elected ruler is, I think, Yang de Pertuan Agong. You may call him Lord and, in the third person, refer to him as His Majesty. The UNMO rules.
Malysias neighbors include Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and the Philippians.

This Blog Has Viewers!
I don't know anyone who knows how to describe this blog. One friend asked me why people read it. I answered that I didn't know. I added that I didn't know, exactly, why I wrote it.
We average only about 1500 readers a month, but it seems a large portion of them keep coming back. Most of them are from the U.S., but there is a high quality bunch from Canada.
More than half of our repeat readers come from outside of the U.S. I am surprised and grateful. I can only guess at the number of actual return readers.
I guess that the following countries have had recent return viewers*. I thank the return viewers from the following countries today:
Denmark
Germany
Malaysia
Russia
Netherlands
France
Argentina
Poland
China
U.K.
Now China and the United Kingdom may have only one or two recent return readers, but I love that they keep coming back.
I welcome all my readers!
* I tend to say 'viewers' rather than 'readers' because I am not sure who can read. I'd feel more certain that they were readers if they took time to leave a word of comment.
You can check to see if there are already some comments by clicking on 'comments' just below.

Readers of These Posts
The overwhelming number of readers of these posts are in the United States.
However, they are getting views these days from 14 other countries and occasional views from twice that many.
It is not surprising that most foreign views come from our great neighbor to the north, Canada. Thank you Canada.
I am grateful to all the people who view What Then? After Canada the most views are coming from Estonia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
Denmark and Malaysia provide the next greatest number of reads.
Germany and India have provided loyal readers.
Viewers from France, the United Arab Republic, Austria, South Korea, Russia, and Hungary keep coming back.
Thank you. Keep coming back. Leave me a comment now and then, even if you are from a clipping service.
