Mawken...
"The Mawken, or Moken, are one of a number
of culturally re-
lated groups of nomadic sea faring people, who fish and trade
along the sea coast or among the shore islands from southern
Burma to Celebes. The Mawken,
who number about 2,000, are
the largest of these groups of sea gypsies of the islands of the
Mergui Archipelago and the adjacent coastal waters of Burma.
They are known as ‘Orang Laut’ in the Singapore area,
‘Barok’
in the Kepalauan Lingga Islands south of Singapore,
‘Kuala’
along the western coast of Sumatra, ‘Sekah’ in the Bangka
and
Belitung Islands east of Sumatra, and ‘Badjo’ in northern
Indonesia. All these peoples,
who, according to their tradition,
once lived on the Malayan mainland,
speak Malayo-Polynesian
languages, with dialectal differences; thus in Mawken, four
regional dialects have been determined: Dung, Ja-it, Lawta, and
Lbi."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
