The peoples of Southeast Asia are mainly divided into four major ethnolinguistic groups: the [[Austronesian peoples|Austronesian]], Austroasiatic (or Mon-Khmers), [[Tai peoples|Tai]] (part of the wider [[Kra-Dai]] family) and Tibeto-Burman (part of greater [[Sino-Tibetan]] language family) peoples. There is also a smaller but significant number of [[Hmong-Mien]], [[Han Chinese|Chinese]], [[Dravidian peoples|Dravidians]], [[Indo-Aryan peoples|Indo-Aryans]], Eurasians and Papuans, which also contributes to the diversity of peoples in the region.

The [[Orang Asli|Aslians]] and [[Negrito]]s were believed to be one of the earliest inhabitants in the region. They are genetically related to [[Indigenous people of New Guinea|Papuans]] in Eastern Indonesia, Timor-Leste and [[Australian Aborigines]]. In modern times, the [[Javanese people|Javanese]] are the largest ethnic group in Southeast Asia, with more than 100 million people, mostly concentrated in [[Java]], Indonesia. The second-largest ethnic group in Southeast Asia are the [[Vietnamese people|Vietnamese]] (Kinh people) with around 86 million people, mainly inhabiting Vietnam but also forming a significant minority in neighbouring Cambodia and Laos. The [[Thai people|Thais]] are the third largest with around 59 million people, forming the majority in Thailand.

[[Indonesia]] is politically and culturally dominated by the [[Javanese people|Javanese]] and [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]] ethnic groups (both native to Java), but the country also has hundreds of ethnic groups scattered throughout the archipelago, such as the [[Madurese people|Madurese]], [[Minangkabau people|Minangkabau]], [[Acehnese people|Acehnese]], [[Bugis]], [[Balinese people|Balinese]], [[Dayak people|Dayak]], [[Batak (Indonesia)|Batak]], [[Malay Indonesian|Malay]] and [[Ambonese people|Ambonese]] peoples.

In Malaysia, the country is demographically divided into [[Malaysian Malays|Malays]], who make up more than half of the country's population; the [[Malaysian Chinese|Chinese]], at around 22%; other [[Bumiputera (Malaysia)|Bumiputera]]s, at 12%; and [[Malaysian Indians|Indians]], at around 6%. In [[East Malaysia]], the [[Dayaks]] (mainly [[Iban people|Ibans]] and [[Bidayuh]]s) make up the majority in the state of [[Sarawak]], while the [[Kadazan-Dusun]]s make up the majority in [[Sabah]]. In [[Labuan]], the [[Bruneian Malay people|Bruneian Malays]] and [[Kedayan]]s are the largest groups. Overall, the [[Ethnic Malay|Malays]] are the majority in Malaysia and Brunei and form a significant minority in Indonesia, [[Thai Malays|Southern Thailand]], [[Burmese Malays|Myanmar]], and [[Malay Singaporean|Singapore]]. In Singapore, the demographics of the country is similar to that of its West Malaysian counterparts but instead of Malays, it is the [[Chinese Singaporean|Chinese]] that are the majority, while the Malays are the second largest group and [[Indian Singaporean|Indians]] third largest.

Within the Philippines, the country has no majority ethnic groups; but the four largest ethnolinguistic groups in the country are the [[Visayan people|Visayans]] (mainly [[Cebuano people|Cebuanos]], [[Waray people|Warays]] and [[Hiligaynon people|Hiligaynons]]), [[Tagalog people|Tagalogs]], [[Ilocano people|Ilocanos]] and [[Bicolano people|Bicolanos]]. Besides the major four, there are also the [[Moro people]]s of [[Mindanao]], consisting of the [[Tausug people|Tausug]], [[Maranao people|Maranao]], [[Yakan people|Yakan]] and [[Maguindanao people|Maguindanao]]. Other regional groups in the country are the [[Kapampangan people|Kapampangans]], [[Pangasinan people|Pangasinans]], [[Surigaonon people|Surigaonons]], [[Ifugao people|Ifugao]], [[Kalinga people|Kalinga]], [[Kamayo people|Kamayo]], [[Cuyonon people|Cuyonon]] and [[Ivatan people|Ivatan]].

In mainland Southeast Asia, the [[Bamar|Burmese]] accounts for more than two-thirds of the population in Myanmar, but the country also has several regional ethnic groups which mainly live in [[Administrative Divisions of Myanmar#States|states]] that are specifically formed for ethnic minorities. The major regional ethnic groups in Myanmar are the Tai-speaking [[Shan people]], [[Karen people]], [[Rakhine people]], [[Chin people]], [[Kayah people]] and Indo-Aryan-speaking [[Rohingya people]] living on the westernmost part of the country near the border with [[Bangladesh]]. In neighbouring Thailand, the Thais are the largest ethnic group in the country but is divided into several regional Tai groups such as Central Thais, [[Northern Thai people|Northern Thais or Lanna]], [[Southern Thai|Southern Thais or Pak Thai]], and Northeastern Thai or [[Isan people]] (which is ethnically more closely related to [[Lao people]] than to Central Thais), each have their own unique dialects, history and culture. Besides the Thais, Thailand is also home to more than 70 ethnolinguistic groups of which the largest being Patani Malays, [[Northern Khmers]], Karen, [[Hmong people|Hmongs]] and [[Thai Chinese|Chinese]].

Cambodia is one of the most homogeneous countries in the area, with [[Khmer people|Khmers]] forming more than 90% of the population but the country also has a large number of ethnic [[Cham people|Chams]], [[Vietnamese Cambodians|Vietnamese]] and various inland tribes categorised under the term [[Khmer Loeu]] (Hill Khmers).
