  • Early Modern Southeast Asia, 1350-1800/Editors, Ooi Keat Gin, Hoàng Anh Tuấn
    Early Modern Southeast Asia, 1350–1800 This book presents extensive new research findings on and new thinking about Southeast Asia in this interesting, richly diverse, but much understudied period. It examines the wide and well-developed trading networks, explores the different kinds of regimes and the nature of power and security, considers urban growth, international relations and the beginnings of European involve- ment with the region, and discusses religious factors, in particular the spread and impact of Christianity. One key theme of the book is the consideration of how well-developed Southeast Asia was before the onset of European involve- ment, and, how, during the peak of the commercial boom in the 1500s and 1600s, many polities in Southeast Asia were not far behind Europe in terms of socio-economic progress and attainments.

  • LEXICAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MALAY and VIETNAMESE Tran Thuy Anh, Mai Ngoc Chu, Abdul Latif Hj. Samian & Mohamad Zain
    Asian Journal of Environment, History and Heritage June 2019, Vol.3, Issue. 1, p. 189-209 ISSN 2590-4213 e-ISSN 2590-4310 Published by Malay Arts, Culture and Civilization Research Centre, Institute of the Malay World and Civilization LEXICAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MALAY AND VIETNAMESE (KESAMAAN LEKSIKAL ANTARA BAHASA MELAYU DAN BAHASA VIETNAM) Tran Thuy Anh, Mai Ngoc Chu, Abdul Latif Hj. Samian & Mohamad Zain Musa Abstract There have been a number of research works on the relationship between Vietnamese and Malay, no agreement on this relation has been reached. Malay is one member of Western Indonesian language branch, sharing the same origin with Cham (mainland Austronesian language group). Meanwhile, Vietnamese belongs to Mon–Khmer language branch of Austro-Asiatic family, which distributes all over Vietnam around mainland Austro-Asiatic languages. There are currently two major ideas about the relation between Vietnamese and Malay: a) They have the same origin; b) They have contact with and borrow from each other. In general, Malay words corresponding to those in Vietnamese might be divided into two main categories: the first one is temporarily called “The inherent mutual base from the ancient time” and the second one is “The adoption of cultural word class in certain historical periods.” The loan words can be identified easily in terms of lexical semantics when absolute correspondence is found in their meanings. Some words may have different meanings in two languages but they belong to the same semantic domain. Building an inventory table for the lexical correspondence between Malay and Vietnamese is not only important for lexicological research but also helps clarify the true nature of this relationship.

  • PROTESTANTISM in the CƠHO CHIL COMMUNITY in LÂM ĐỒNG, VIETNAM Abstract: Based on the Fieldwork Data, the Bibliographic Anal
    Religious Studies. №. 1&2 – 2019 99 * MAI MINH NHẬT PROTESTANTISM IN THE CƠHO CHIL COMMUNITY IN LÂM ĐỒNG, VIETNAM Abstract: Based on the fieldwork data, the bibliographic analysis of missionaries, published scientific papers, the author presents the stages of evangelisation and Protestantism’s impacts on the economic, social and cultural life of the Cơho Chil (Cil) community in Lam Dong province. Research on Protestantism in the Cơho Chil community, the earliest evangelical residents with the highest percentage of believers in Lam Dong, contributes to knowledge enrichment of the spread of Protestantism among the ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands. Keywords: Protestantism; evangelisation; Cơho Chil people; Lam Dong province; Central Highlands. Introduction Since 1929, the evangelization of Protestantism has been introduced into the ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands, it was attached to the event that H. A. Jackson and his wife of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA)arrived Dalat to establish the first missionary office in this area. By 2013, Protestantism attracted more than 441,000 ethnic minority believers1; it became an important religious entity with many influences on the economy and society, culture of ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands. So far, there have been many studies on Protestantism among ethnic minority in the Central Highlands in many different aspects such as Missionary history, religious activities and belief characteristics of believers, positive and negative effects of this religion on society, culture and political security in the Central Highlands region. These works have been comprehensively portrayed * Faculty of History, Dalat University. 100 Religious Studies. №. 1&2 - 2019 many aspects of Protestantism in the Central Highlands, provided a scientific basis for planning and implementing policies towards Protestantism in the Central Highlands and the whole country.

  • In Pursuit of Sustainable Ethnic Equalities Via Cultural Dialogue Among the Cham in Ninh Thuận Province, Vietnam
    In pursuit of sustainable ethnic equalities via cultural dialogue among the Cham in Ninh Thuận province, Vietnam Pham Thi Thanh Huyen Faculty of Oriental Studies University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Abstract: With all economic developments and institutional efforts in recent decades, the social inequalities among ethnic groups have reduced, and the principles of equality and social inclusion are broadly accepted in Vietnam. However, there are differences and stigmatization in cultural aspects – the risk of intolerance and misunderstanding sometimes becoming strongly visible, which requires the careful attention of the government to eliminate ethnic inequalities effectively. In this process, cultural understanding and flexible approaches from both sides, the government and the targeted ethnic group, are vital. As an ethnic minority with their own religion, beliefs and language, the Cham in Vietnam are a religious, linguistic minority as well. Being the long-lasting homeland with the highest number of Cham in Vietnam, Ninh Thuận is a suitable location to examine and observe the relation between the government and the Cham in the efforts to narrow down inequalities and stabilize the plural characteristics of the cultural fabric. This essay attempts to suggest that the cultural dialogue between the Cham with local and central government institutions can help to resolve problems and eliminate ethnic inequalities with more useful and grass-root policies. In this paper, the author would like to describe some lingo-cultural issues among the Cham in Ninh Thuận province, which the author observed in recent field trips. Using historical methods and in-depth conversations with intellectuals, clerics, youths, and other Cham, the author suggests that lingo-cultural issues should be considered seriously to access genuine integration and harmony.
