[[File:Map of Southeast Asia.jpg|thumb|297x297px|States and regions of Southeast Asia]]

The region, together with part of South Asia, was well known by Europeans as the [[East Indies]] or simply the Indies until the 20th century. Chinese sources referred to the region as ''[[Nanyang (region)|Nanyang]]'' ("{{linktext|lang=zh|南洋}}"), which literally means the "Southern Ocean". The mainland section of Southeast Asia was referred to as [[Mainland Southeast Asia|Indochina]] by European geographers due to its location between China and the Indian subcontinent and its having cultural influences from both neighbouring regions. In the 20th century, however, the term became more restricted to territories of the former [[French Indochina]] (Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam). The maritime section of Southeast Asia is also known as the [[Malay Archipelago]], a term derived from the European concept of a [[Malay race]].<ref name=Wallace>{{Cite book | last = Wallace | first = Alfred Russel | author-link = Alfred Russel Wallace | title = The Malay Archipelago | publisher = Macmillan | year = 1869 | location = London | page = 1 }}</ref> Another term for [[Maritime Southeast Asia]] is ''[[Malay Archipelago#Insulindia|Insulindia]]'' (Indian Islands), used to describe the region between Indochina and [[Australasia]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lach; Van Kley|first1=Donald F.; Edwin J|title=Asia in the Making of Europe, Volume III|date=1998|publisher=University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago|isbn=978-0-226-46768-9}}</ref>

The term "Southeast Asia" was first used in 1839 by American pastor Howard Malcolm in his book ''Travels in South-Eastern Asia''. Malcolm only included the Mainland section and excluded the Maritime section in his definition of Southeast Asia.<ref>{{cite book | date=1996 | first1=Joshua | last1=Eliot | title=Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore Handbook | publisher=Trade & Trade & Travel Publications | location=New York City | first2=Jane | first3=Sebastian | last2=Bickersteth | last3=Ballard}}</ref> The term was officially used in the midst of [[World War II]] by the [[Allies of World War II|Allies]], through the formation of [[South East Asia Command]] (SEAC) in 1943.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Park; King|first1=Seung-Woo; Victor T.|title=The Historical Construction of Southeast Asian Studies: Korea and Beyond |date=2013 |publisher=Institute of Southeast Asian Studies |location=Singapore |isbn=978-981-4414-58-6}}</ref> SEAC popularised the use of the term "Southeast Asia", although what constituted Southeast Asia was not fixed; for example, SEAC excluded the [[Philippines]] and a large part of [[Indonesia]] while including [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]]. However, by the late 1970s, a roughly standard usage of the term "Southeast Asia" and the territories it encompasses had emerged.<ref name="emmerson"/> Although from a cultural or linguistic perspective the definitions of "Southeast Asia" may vary, the most common definitions nowadays include the area represented by the countries (sovereign states and dependent territories) listed below.

Ten of the eleven states of Southeast Asia are members of the [[ASEAN|Association of Southeast Asian Nations]] (ASEAN), while [[Timor-Leste]] is an observer state. [[Papua New Guinea]] has stated that it might join ASEAN, and is currently an observer. Sovereignty issues exist over some [[South China Sea Islands|islands in the South China Sea]].

Timor-Leste and the eastern half of Indonesia (east of the [[Wallace Line]] in the region of [[Wallacea]]) are considered to be geographically associated with Oceania due to their distinctive faunal features. Geologically, the island of [[New Guinea]] and its surrounding islands are considered as parts of the [[Australia (continent)|Australian continent]], connected via the [[Sahul Shelf]]. Both [[Christmas Island]] and the [[Cocos (Keeling) Islands]] are located on the [[Australian plate]], south of the [[Sunda Trench]]. Even though they are geographically closer to Maritime Southeast Asia than [[mainland Australia]], these two [[states and territories of Australia|Australian external territories]] are not geologically associated with Asia as none of them is actually on the [[Sunda plate]]. The [[United Nations|UN]] [[United Nations Statistics Division|Statistics Division]]'s [[United Nations geoscheme|geoscheme]], which is a UN [[political geography]] tool created specifically for statistical purposes,<ref name=m49>[https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/ United Nations Statistics Division – Standard Country and Area Codes Classifications. The UNSD notes that "the assignment of countries or areas to specific groupings is for statistical convenience".]</ref> has classified both island territories as parts of [[Oceania]], under the [[United Nations geoscheme for Oceania#UNSD subregions|UNSD subregion "Australia and New Zealand"]] ([[Australasia]]).
Some definitions of Southeast Asia may include [[Taiwan]]. [[Taiwanese indigenous peoples|Taiwan]] has sometimes been included in Southeast Asia as well as East Asia but is not a member of [[ASEAN]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=A Nation Reborn?
