There are many theories on this subject. As for me, without going so far as doing research on the subjct as you have done, I have never regarded myself as a Peranakan but I regard myslf as a Baba. Sine young, I hav always held on to the following belief: i. Peranakans refer to those Chinese immigrants who had settled down in the south of Malaya, particularly in Melaka and in Singapore and whose descedants have adapted themselves to local conditions, language, customs and culture (most only speak a localised form of the Malay languae and cound not even speak their own mother tongue, mostly Hokkien. The Babas and Nonyas are the descendants of the Chinese immigrants who setled in the north of Malaya and in Penang, many via Sumatra,espcially Medan. They too have adapted to the local conditions,language,food, and culture. The only differne is that they retain a lot more of the Hokkien customs and traditions add the still speak Hokkien, though Hokkien coined from Malay words. God willing, I will try to do some research on this subject.

I have formed a hypothesis regarding the arrival of the Chinese to the Malay peninsula which I'd like to share with you: <br />http://www.penang-traveltips.com/arrivals-of-the-chinese-in-the-malay-peninsula.htm<br /><br />The terms "wave 1" and "wave 2" in the hypothesis points to two major groups of Chinese immigrants arriving into the Malay peninsula which today we regard as Peranakan. I separate them into these two groups based on the time period of their arrival and also other intrinsic characteristics which I explain in my hypothesis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389041145551536779noreply@blogger.com
