Senoi
a group of tribes, including the Semai, Teminar, Jah Hut, Che Wong, Mah Meri, and Ulu Besisi. The Senoi live in the wooded foothills of the Central Range of the Malay Peninsula. Population, approximately 30,000 (1974, estimate). The Senoi language belongs to the Mon-Khmer family but has been strongly influenced by the Malay language. The Senoi worship various spirits; some have adopted Islam. Their anthropological type (Veddoid) and linguistic and cultural traits indicate that the Senoi belong to the oldest pre-Mongoloid stratum of the population of Southeast Asia. Present-day Senoi have largely been assimilated into Malay society. Principal occupations include slash-and-burn farming, hunting with blowguns, fishing, and gathering. Vestiges of the matrilineal clan system are strong among the Senoi. REFERENCENarody lugo-Vostochnoi Azii. Moscow, 1966.Want to thank TFD for its existence?
