Kingdom of Singapura

Kingdom of Singapura was a state in Malay Peninsula and Sumatra (Southeast Asia) that lasted from c. 1299 to 1398 CE, about 99 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Austronesian (Malay, Javanese, Cham, Tagalog, Malagasy, Polynesian, Maori).

A Malay kingdom on Temasek that the Malay Annals say Sang Nila Utama founded around 1299. The historicity of that account is uncertain, but digs at Fort Canning show a thriving 14th-century port. It fell around 1398, and its last ruler Parameswara founded Malacca.
