What would it look like if the Austronesian world united as a single mega country? In today's alternate history scenario, we will be discussing some of the history of the Austronesians, their relation to each other and outsiders and what a united Austronesia would look like.

The Austronesians are one of the most fascinating ethnolinguistic groups on the planet, having been one of the few groups to truly conquer the seas and surrounding islands and thus inhabiting a huge segment of the Earth, settling around and intermixing with groups from all over the world, and through trade, migration and colonization, many more people groups who would've otherwise never been in contact have also settled and dispersed into Austronesian territory.

Today, we're going to discuss the genetic, ethnic, and religious makeup of the countries that are in Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and more. We're also going to touch up on the history of some of these groups and how they came to be in the region.

Southeast Asia is one of my favorite regions in the world to learn about! It's got ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity not seen elsewhere on the planet, and it's important to learn about!

Let me know your thoughts on Southeast Asia in the comments below, and if you're from the region, tell me what you think of other Southeast Asians!

Thanks for watching!
