Excellent research. Thank you. You can use *free pronunciation guides* on Google. Simply type the word you wish to say correctly and add the word _pronunciation._ A speaker icon appears with the word. You may speed up and slow down the pace at which to listen. In French _oir_ or _oire_ it's typically pronounced wah. Hence, "histoire" comes out as _"east twa."_ It's not very complicated if you play it a few times and record yourself repeating after the guide.

However in the 1800s the Chinese went to many South Pacific Islands such as Samoa and mixed with the people making them even more Asian.

Europeans. And it's sad to see how some Philippines arguing about them being Asian or Pacific İslanders. Arguing based on the division imposed by outsiders.

Are you really claiming that there was unity between all Austronesian speakers from Madagascar to Rapa Nui and from New Zealand to Hawaii before Europeans came? That's some serious revisionist history. There was no such unity. There was fighting even between neighboring islands or on the same island. Moreover, there was almost certainly no knowledge of a shared Austronesian heritage. You have European linguists, archeologists and geneticists to largely thank for that understanding. I know that much of this comment section is all about hating on white people, but at least don't make up nonsense to support your hate. Stick to your "colonizer" narrative, as that is at least based in reality. (Even though you ignore the fact that the Austronesian people themselves were colonizers of lands held by Papuan and Negrito type people.)

Let keep it simple. Melanesian’s came from Australia Aborigenis Micronesian and Polynesia are from South East Asian and we are mixed with Melanesian and exist with harmony among each other cause we are not racist.

Polynesian power we don’t want to be you either

I was researching and I seen that for Micronesia and Polynesia, they divided us by geography and not by race and when they did divide the pacific islands by race, it was a yellow race (known today as Micronesians & Polynesians) and a black race (known today as Melanesians & aboriginal Australians). And what’s fxcked up about it is, these Europeans say “an admired yellow race” and “a vilified black race”. This what this book says: “He adjudged Melanesians to be 'hideous' inappearance, limited' in languages and institutions, and generally very inferior to the copper-coloured race in dispositions and intelligence, except where they had been improved by frequent communications and racial intermixture with Polynesians, as in Fiji. But he saved his most persistent obloquv for the Australians and Tasmanians who were 'probably the most limited, the most stupid of all beings and those essentially closest to the unreasoning brute'”

​@@Miss_Hannahno humans continue to live on islands, their descendants must live on the mainland first... starting in Africa to Arabia to Persia to India to Burma then to Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Indonesia then to Papua, Australia and finally to Oceania... the faces of Polynesian, Micronesian people are almost the same as Austronesians... only they have bigger bodies, due to mixing with Melanesians... not only language, dna studies also say that... Oceania people are descendants of Austronesians

You are a delight to learn from. Thanks. I did an anth degree about 20yrs ago, and learnt the cannon. Been learning to decolonise my thinking ever since. Far more nuance than clunky Victorian models.

So why is it that these outdated classficstion hold true today ? Modern genetic testings show that the ploynesians can be traced back to modern day Taiwan and the darker melannesians to southern africa

Wow, where do I get a wall map like yours?🤩

The result of my google search was somewhat surprising to me. I searched: DNA admixture of the Fijians and it said Asian and 30% Melanesian.

you ran this video twin!

Don’t let this video fool you. This is how Europeans think. Nesians are really cool with each other

Pre-Wwii French Indochina ethnic maps include the term Indonesian for groups in north-east of Khmer realm. Perhaps distinct from Malay Chams.

What is this TABU practice?

Hafa Adai! Regarding the description of "Taboo" or "Tabu" as practiced by the Micronesians, how is "Taboo" defined according to European cartographers and how is it different from Polynesians or any other cultures? Just wondering.

This concept of Taboo, or Tabu, or in Maori, Tapu, varies between all cultures, all over the Pacific, because a practice that is perfectly fine in one culture or more, is not acceptable in another, and even within the same culture, like Maori, this is a topic with various differences, and various practices as a result. Europeans, either derisively oppose, or totally ignore, the cultures that have these practices, and it is these two forms of resistance and suppression that causes the most harm. On top of that, there is the growing view from Europeans, that these can be exploited for profit in the nations the Europeans have colonised in the past, but for the profit of Europeans only, not the profit of the culture that it comes from.

Great vid first KZread video to be very accurate and detailed about our Pacific island nations ❤

But having Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia makes sense, as they are different yet share some similarities. Melanesian's and Polynesians even battled one another in ancient times.

Hahaha nice one! I'm Asian, melanesian, Polynesian and Aboriginal...that's the Pacific in one!!! The white man has always been racist because they consider themselves as the most superior race...that's why they create divisions to make us feel inferior and less human. We in the Pacific are blind to colour but the white man makes an issue out of nothing!

The people who originated the Polynesians are our Arafura people from the Wallacea line. Contrary to popular belief, we are NOT Austronesian, we are Melanesian paternally and only gradually have Austronesian influx from the maternal side. The Arafuru / Alifuru people invented outrigger canoe technology and traded heavily with the Papuan neighbors, and the later people who would inhabit Borneo and Manado and Philippines.

So I’m confuse. Sorry I’m still learning the history. Found out I have trace of Melanesian. I have no clue on which island, tribe etc. I’m trying to piece my family ancestors history. All I know I have Italian, Greek, Caucuses, North Africa (did not specified), Senegal, and Samaritan Cohanim (descended from Menasseh, Ephraim and Levi). I can’t figure out how they found traces of Melanesian when that’s no where close to the Mediterranean.

Thank you for pointing this out. Filipinos and Malays in general want to stronghold Polynesians as if they're theirs yet ignore the Melanesian input. Long story short, Austronesian females mated with Melanesian males to create Polynesians.

what do you mean

Theres more to the pavific than those 3. Philippines is next to Palau Micronesia and influenced it with migration and trade. Indinesia and malay and even japan are part of the Pacific.

The Frenchman's idea of refering to all races of the specific, as Polynesians would have worked well . " people of Many Islands " NO tribes or races , which may insinuate that one is maybe more advance than the other ... As it is , Polynesians carry both Micronesian and Melanesian genes... and vice versa..,👺🌏🐢🐬🌴..

You claim that the divisions "do not reflect how Pacific people view their islands." Okay. Fair enough. But i would think that a more important question is whether or not these three divisions represent anything meaningful about the culture and history of Pacific peoples. After all, all kinds of peoples hold all kinds of inaccurate views about themselves - mostly harmless beliefs in most cases, but not always, but inaccurate regardless. You need only look at various countries with written language traditions going back 3-4 millenia to see how research can often correct long-held identity beliefs. Surely you wouldn't want to deny Pacific peoples this same opportunity. Of course we should dispense with constructs built on obsolete racial theories. That just strikes me as an interesting historical side-note.

Ummm, you are somewhat correct. Negerji Tabahan was one region and one race of Nwords Therefore indo-china were multiracials of color "Blacks" yet the Nword king of Mohren lived in Bali kr Java. This royal family of Negroes also ruled over the entire Mohrlandt (East Indies, West Indies, indien Oceanic, as well as Abyssinia, Egypt, and Eastern Afrika. Nwords come in all colors including Albinos "Whites". Thats why there was once Indo-China, Indo-Europe, Indo-Afrika, and Indo-Amerikas. There was no race until King Race demanded people be split up by colour. Prior to that whites were called Witte Nword

It is a shame this placed on you guys all three race divisions. I'm Black American (trust me we know) and it sucks you guys have got knocked down from culture and tradition to savage to non-savage ranking. Y'all are all amazing.

Uh yeah- there's already a term for us(that includes all of us).... Pacific Islanders 💀

The history of immigration of Pacific Islanders has more to do with where the immigrants came from originally. For example Fiji snd Papuan New Guinea are Melanesian or dark skinned Pacific Islands. Whereas Places like Tahiti have oriental or Polynesian skinned peoples. Their traditions are similar from the Cook Islands to Tuvalu and even Hawaii. Some dialects have similar words. We’ve traveled extensively in Fiji over the last 2 decades. It’s rich traditions and intact village way of life is dramatically different than say Hawaii. The Ratu or Chiefs still head each village and represent their villages in parliament. Vastly different than the disgusting way Queen Liliuokalani was deposed jailed and every possession sold at auction. It was savage. A very sad history indeed. 😔

Polynesians are dark to brownish color not yellow.

I'm from Aotearoa, descend from the chief navigators. It wasn't a racial division, it was an ancestral division. We all came from y dna ancestor cm130, all indigenous outside of Africa descend from him. These were the first navigators, some of our sibling lines merged with the pre hominid species, and that is what set us apart, this was called breaking the tapu. Polynesian original ancestor was given the right to occupy the new world when we first came out, that's what every other tribe has seem to forgotten
