Kingdom of Malacca - Kingdom of Malacca

Japanese: ムラカ王国 - ムラカおうこく

A Malay kingdom that flourished from around 1400 to 1511, centered around Melaka (Malacca) near the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It is also called the Sultanate of Malacca. The Malay Peninsula has long had a transportation route connecting China and India, and as a result, many kingdoms have risen and fallen. It is certain that there was an ancient city or kingdom in Melaka, but the details are not known. At the end of the 14th century, probably around 1390, Parameshvara, who was from Palembang on the island of Sumatra, settled in Melaka with the Malays and founded the Sultanate of Melaka.

1400年ころから1511年までマレー半島南端近くのムラカMelaka(マラッカMalacca)を中心に栄えたマレー人の王国。マラッカ王国ともいう。マレー半島には古くから中国とインドを結ぶ交通路があり，そのために数多くの王国が興亡した。ムラカにも古く都市，もしくは王国があったことは確かであるが，詳しいことはわかっていない。　14世紀末，おそらく1390年ころスマトラ島のパレンバン出身のパラメシュバラがマレー人を従えてムラカに定住し，ムラカ王国を建てた。
