Suku Banga asal Indonesia
There are 1,340 recognised ethnic groups in Indonesia. The vast majority of those belong to the Austronesian peoples.
Based on ethnic classification, the largest ethnic group in Indonesia is the Javanese who make up about 40% of the total population. The Javanese are concentrated on the island of Java, but millions have migrated to other islands throughout the archipelago because of the transmigration program. The Sundanese are the next largest group, they live on the island of Java in the west, with the Javanese in the middle and east.
Batak, Madurese, Betawi, Minangkabau, Buginese, and Melayu/Malay are the next largest groups in the country. Many ethnic groups, particularly in Kalimantan and Papua, have only hundreds of members. Most of the local languages belong to the Austronesian language family, although a significant number of people, particularly in eastern Indonesia, speak unrelated Papuan languages.
There are ethnics who come from outside the territory of Indonesia, which since before the existence of the Indonesian state, have long lived, mixed, and some even married with local ethnicities, and have children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and subsequent descendants in various regions in Indonesia, namely; Tionghoa, Arab, and India.
