Archipelagus Malaicus[1] (Caebuanice Kapupud-ang Malay; Malaice Kepulauan Melayu; Tagalogice Kapuluang Malay; Indonesice Nusantara) est archipelagus qui inter Indosinam continentalem et Australiam patet. Etiam in toto vel partim varie appellatus est Indi Orientales, Mundus Malaicus, Nusantara, Archipelagus Indo-Australianus, Archipelagus Condimentorum, et alia nomina propria. Quod nomen ex Europaea rassae Malaicae notione saeculo undevicensimo deductum est, vicissim ex geographica linguarum Austronesiarum distributione.[2]

Archipelagus, inter oceanos Indicum et Pacificum situs, plus quam 25 000 insularum et parvarum insularum continens, est maximus orbis terrarum archipelagus per aream et quartus a maximo per numerum insularum. Bruneium, Indonesiam, Malaesiam (Malaesiam Orientalem), Papuam Novam Guineam, Philippinas, Singapuram, et Timoriam Orientalem comprehendit.[3][4] Nomen plerumque est synonymum locutionis Asiae Meridianae Maritimae.[5]

Etymologia et terminologia

Nomen archipelagi ex Europaea rassae Malaicae vel populorum Austronesianorum notione saeculo undevicensimo deductum est,[2] notione rassistica ab exploratoribus Europaeis posita ex eorum intellegentia potestatis Sri Vijaya, imperii Malaiorum ethnicorum, cuius caput insula Sumatra in Indonesia erat.[6] Archipelagus autem insulas excludit aliquot a [[populus Malaicus|Malais cultis, inter quas Madagascaria et Taivania, atque insulas includit a Melanesianis cultas, sicut Insulas Maluccas et Novam Guineam.

Alfredus Russel Wallace, naturalista saeculi undevicensimi, nomen Malay Archipelago ('Archipelagum Malaicum') titulum ad eius librum magni momenti adhibuit, qui eius studia florae faunaeque etiam adeo cultus humani huius regionis rettulit, quam Indian Archipelago ('Archipelagum Indicum') et Indo-Australian ('Archipelagum Indo-Australianum') quoque appellavit,[7][8] Praeterea intra regionem Insulas Salomonis et Auream Chersonesum propter proprietates climatis oecologiaeque posuit,[2] sic scribens:[9]

"Si lineam ducimus . . . secundum occidentale Gilolo litus incipientem, per insulam Bouru, et circa occidentalem Mores finem flexentem, tum per Insulam Sandalwood ad Rotti includendam incurvantem, Archipelagum dividamus in binas partes, quarum rassis sunt manifeste distinctas proprietates. Quae linea Malaicam omnesque rassas Asiaticas a Papuanis omnibusque Pacificum colentibus separabit; et quamquam secundum lineam iunctionis interimmigratio et commixtura factae sunt, haec tamen disiunctio paene tam bene definita et valde discrepans quam zoologica archipelagi disiunctio congruens in toto est, ut ex regione Indo-Malaica et regione Austro-Malaica constet."[10]

Insulindia, aliquando usque adeo ad Australasiam spectans,[11] est aliud regionis nomen geographicum, quod autem diu priscum et obsoletum a nonnullis aestimatur.[12][13][14] Frequentius in litteris Portugallicis et Hispanicis videtur.[15][16][17] Aliquando in historia artis et anthropologia ad zonam permutandi inter culturas Oceaniae Asiaeque Meridianae describendas adhibetur.[18]

Philippinae et insulae Sundanae archipelagi Malaici partes principales sunt. Insulae Sundanae in Sundanas maiores, Sundanas minores et Moluccas dividuntur.

  10. Anglice: "If we draw a line . . . commencing along the western coast of Gilolo, through the island of Bouru, and curving round the west end of Mores, then bending back by Sandalwood Island to take in Rotti, we shall divide the Archipelago into two portions, the races of which have strongly marked distinctive peculiarities. This line will separate the Malayan and all the Asiatic races, from the Papuans and all that inhabit the Pacific; and though along the line of junction intermigration and commixture have taken place, yet the division is on the whole almost as well defined and strongly contrasted, as is the corresponding zoological division of the Archipelago, into an Indo-Malayan and Austro-Malayan region."
