Of the approximately 250 ethnic groups that make up the Republic of Indonesia, they are one of the most populous, living on the island of Madura, which borders the northeast coast of Java. They have also migrated in large numbers to the eastern end of Java, east of Surabaya and Malang, and now outnumber the residents of Madura. The total population is estimated at 6-7 million (1982), and they speak Madurese, which belongs to the Indonesian branch of the Austronesian language family. Madura Island is a dry island with poor soil and few paddy fields, so the main production areas are upland rice, corn, and tobacco, with cattle farming, fishing, and the production of sickles and knives also thriving.
