Insulindia

Insulindia is a somewhat archaic geographical term[1][2][3] for Maritime Southeast Asia, equivalent in usage to Australasia and Indochina, and encompassing the entire area situated between the two.[4] More common in Portuguese and Spanish,[5][6][7] it is also sometimes used in art history or anthropology to describe the interface zone between the cultures Oceania and Southeast Asia.[8]

Insulindia is used as a geopolitical term in academic discussions of the former European colonial possessions within Maritime Southeast Asia, especially Dutch East Indies and Portuguese East Indies ("Portuguese Insulindia")[9] much as former French colonial possessions in Southeast Asia are still termed French Indochina.[10] It is also used to describe and locate the Chinese cultural diaspora (the "insulindian Chinese")[11] across the islands of Southeast Asia.[12]
