The term "Malayo-Polynesians" refers to a group of people who speak languages belonging to the {Austronesian} language family. This group is primarily found in regions such as {Southeast Asia} and the {Pacific Islands}. The Malayo-Polynesian languages are divided into two main branches: {Malayan} and {Polynesian}, with the latter including languages spoken in places like {Hawaii} and {New Zealand}. Malayo-Polynesians are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional practices, art, and navigation skills.
