Pattani Sultanate

Pattani Sultanate was a state in Malay Peninsula and Sumatra (Southeast Asia) that lasted from c. 1457 to 1902 CE, about 445 years. Its people spoke Austronesian languages (Malay, Javanese, Cham, Tagalog, Malagasy, Polynesian, Maori).

A Malay port kingdom on the east coast of the peninsula, ruled by a succession of queens in the late 16th and 17th centuries. Siam made it a tributary and annexed it in 1902, a root of the southern Thai insurgency.
