Despite this broad generalization, it must be noted that innumerable separate languages as well as dialects are used in the region. This linguistic diversity is especially conspicuous in fragmented areas such as the Philippines and Indonesia and in highland and remote areas on the mainland, and it has been a retarding factor in national integration and development. Notable in this regard is Myanmar.  Dominant Languages Burmes e Thai Khmer Myanmar Thailand Cambodia  Other Languages Pilipino Malay Chinese Philippines Malaysia, Indonesia Southeast Asia  02 Religion s  Buddhism Mahayana Theravada Mainland Southeast Asia Northern Vietnam Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity are all practiced within Southeast Asia. Buddhism, particularly the more orthodox Theravada form, dominates the religious pattern of most of the mainland; only in northern Vietnam is the more liberal Mahayana Buddhism more common. The basic beliefs of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths, which teach that life is suff ering, suff ering is caused by desire and attachment, and that suff ering can be ended by following the Eight-Fold Path. The Eight-Fold Path teaches fi nding the ''right'' way in all things, like speech and action, by seeking moderation.  Islam Majority Diffusion Indonesia, Malaysia, 14th century, Sumatra Philippines  the Malay Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, and the southern Philippines. As a result of the large Muslim population in Indonesia, Islam is the religion of some two-fifths of Southeast Asians. The diffusion of the religion began in the early 14th century through contact with Muslim traders in northern Sumatra. Perhaps more than any of the other religions, Islam has been a strong force in binding together its adherents. It has profoundly affected cultural, social, political, and economic matters in areas where it is practiced. Christianity Catholicism Philippines, Vietnam Protestantism Sumatra, Singapore The spread of Christianity came with European contact. Roman Catholicism was introduced to insular Southeast Asia by the Spanish and the Portuguese in the 16th century and somewhat later to the Indochinese Peninsula by the French. Catholicism is most important in the Philippines and southern Vietnam. Protestantism also is locally important. The Batak and Minangkabau peoples in Sumatra and a growing number of Chinese in Singapore and elsewhere adhere to various Protestant denominations.  Other Faiths Hinduism Animism Indian communities, Bali Remote areas Hinduism, once much more widespread, now is practiced by many people in the region’s Indian communities. In addition, this religion, modified by animism and other influences, is the primary faith on the island of Bali in Indonesia. Various forms of animism also are practiced in the region’s more remote areas, particularly in central Borneo, northern Laos, and northern Myanmar. POP QUIZ!

Considerable variation exists, however, among the region’s countries. The Philippines, Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Brunei are characterized by higher growth; Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, on the other hand, have considerably lower rates, primarily because of the implementation of effective family-planning programs in these countries. The current population of South-Eastern Asia is 696,362,409 as of Monday, September 30, 2024, based on the latest United Nations estimates. South-Eastern Asia population is equivalent to 8.52% of the total world population. South-Eastern Asia ranks number 3 in Asia among subregions ranked by Population.  Population Growth 02 Fertility Decline 01 Variation Higher vs. Lower rates Offset by Mortality, Longevity In general, the pace of fertility decline is accelerating, although it is being offset by declining infant mortality and increasing life expectancy. Thank You
