Austronesian peoples - Austronesian peoples

Japanese: アウストロネシア語系諸族 - アウストロネシアごけいしょぞく
Austronesian peoples - Austronesian peoples
Austronesian is a general term for peoples who speak languages ​​belonging to the Austronesian or Malayo-Polynesian languages. Their distribution ranges from Easter Island in the east to Madagascar in the west, but their original homeland is thought to have been southern China or Taiwan. This is because Taiwanese languages, which are thought to have branched off the earliest among the Austronesian languages, are found in Taiwan, and Austroasiatic and Kadai languages, which are thought to be related to Austronesian languages, are found from southern China to Indochina.

Japanese:
アウストロネシア語族つまり南島語族ないしマレー・ポリネシア語族に属する言語を用いる諸族の総称。その分布域は東はイースター島から西はマダガスカル島にまで及ぶが,その原郷は,中国大陸南部かあるいは台湾であったと考えられる。その理由は,アウストロネシア語族のなかで最も早く分岐したと思われる台湾諸語が台湾にあり,アウストロネシア語と親縁関係があると思われるアウストロアジア諸語やカダイ諸語が華南からインドシナにかけて分布しているからである。
