Around 4,500 to 3,500 years ago, another group of people moved into to the Malay peninsula: the first Malay people or Proto-Malays who brought a neolithic culture with them (ref. 10). Their culture is characterised by the Terra cotta ware today unearthed at archaeological sites in Thailand and Malaysia. It is thought that the Proto-Malays came from southern parts of China, perhaps Yunnan Province, and that they were of Mongolid stock (ref. 5).

About 3,500 years ago, there was another large-scale movement of people into the Indochina peninsula from the West, i.e. from India. After the Aryan migration into India, some aboriginal populations speaking Mon-Khmer languages seem to have moved towards the east to Indochina (19). It is also said that 7,500 to 4,500 years ago and again around 4,000 years ago, groups of people moved from Indochina into the Malay peninsula and some think that these later became known as the Manis. However, the migrants from India would make rather more convincing ancestors (as one ingredient among others) for the Veddoid Senoi than any of the Negrito groups would.

More groups followed around 4,000 years ago (ref. 15 and 16).

These population movements took place over long periods and resulted in much intermixing (ref. 10). Thus the people today referred to as the ancient Malays or Proto-Malays are people who represent a mixture of racial traits and cultures. They are the people who had pushed the earliest aboriginal people, the Negritos, to move further south where there was further mixing with other people, resulting in the Senois (refs. 12-14).

Around 2,300 years ago the Malays appeared in the peninsula that now bears their name. They probably came from coastal Borneo and were experienced seafarers who knew the lands they wanted to conquer and settle. The new Malays belonged to the same stock as the Proto-Malays (i.e. they must have moved to Borneo from southern China at some stage in their prehistory) but unlike the neolithic Proto-Malays they carried a much more advanced technology: their tools were made of metal. They settled in what is now Malaysia around 2,300 years ago. With their advances technology, they rapidly pushed all the older groups out of the way and into the jungle and mountainous areas, where they remain until today. The New Malays who are still at their original level of technology are today are known as the Jakuns. They live in the southern part of Malaysia and are regarded as the ancestors of the sea people, also known as Moken or Orang Laut. The modern Malaysians are people of mixed blood, from the Negritos, the Veddoids, the Proto-Malays and the new Malays. There was also continuing migration from India, especially into the Indonesian area around BE 10 (ca. BC 530).

If you are fond of history and like to constantly study various historical events, then this article http://jessicastorm.edublogs.org ... rst-thousand-years/ can be useful to you. It has a lot of useful information. It`s tells a story about how 100 years a few people in a remote corner of what we now call England, an awkward Germanic tongue was spoken which we now call English.
