| - Orang Asli (Majatran: الشعوب الأصلية), literally meaning "original people" or "aboriginal people" in the local Asli language, are an ethnic Asli subgroup. The Orang Asli are indigenous to the island of Nashwa, in the UBE. The Orang Asli culture is matrilineal, with property and land passing down from mother to daughter, while religious and political affairs are the province of men (although some women also play important roles in these areas). Today around 10 million Orang Asli live on Nashwa, while about 3 million more are scattered throughout many Badaran cities and towns.

| - Orang Asli (Majatran: الشعوب الأصلية), literally meaning "original people" or "aboriginal people" in the local Asli language, are an ethnic Asli subgroup. The Orang Asli are indigenous to the island of Nashwa, in the UBE. The Orang Asli culture is matrilineal, with property and land passing down from mother to daughter, while religious and political affairs are the province of men (although some women also play important roles in these areas). Today around 10 million Orang Asli live on Nashwa, while about 3 million more are scattered throughout many Badaran cities and towns. The Orang Asli are strongly Islamic, but also follow their ethnic traditions, or adat. The Orang Asli adat was derived from animist beliefs before the arrival of Islam, and remnants of animist beliefs still exist even among some practicing Muslims. The present relationship between Islam and adat is described in the saying "tradition [adat] founded upon Islamic law, Islamic law founded upon the Qur'an" (adat basandi syara', syara' basandi Kitabullah)
