used as early indicators in understanding the extent of the genealogical impact of early Malays on the Sri Lankan population. There is an extensive history of genetic mixing between native Sri
Lankans and ancient waves of Malay and Javanese migrants who settled in Sri Lanka during and prior to the 13th century, particularly in the southeast of the country. Additionally, intermarriage of Ambonese and Balinese male settlers with Sinhalese and Tamil women was common during Dutch rule.Continuous contact through seafaring, conquests, religious connections, and later by colonialism, has resulted in a fair amount of the non-Malay Sri Lankan population, particularly Sinhalese people, having partial Malay admixture.

707:, the religious makeup of Sri Lankan Malays was diverse and consisted not only of Muslims but also Christians and Hindus who belonged primarily to the Ambonese and Balinese communities, respectively. Due to skewed migration patterns of Ambonese and Balinese settlers to Sri Lanka, which consisted only of men, intermarriage with Sinhalese and Tamil women was common and resulted in the phasing out of the Christian and Hindu communities that existed in the community early on. Evidence shows certain customs, such as marriage rites, performed by Sri Lankan Malays, fused Islamic practices with Hindu and Buddhist elements. However, their close connection to

Arabic names are also used by Sri Lankan Malays, including Saldin, Assan, Rahman, Drahaman, Bucker, Ramlan, Rajap, Jumat, and Mannan. Prefixes of Malay origin such as Tuan, Maas, and Raden for males and Gnei, Nona, Sitti Nona, and Gnonya for females are commonly used as first names among Sri Lankan Malays.

1124:"Annual trade between China and India through the Malacca Straits had opened by about 200 BC. Perhaps by that time Austronesian sailors were regularly carrying cloves and cinnamon to India and Sri Lanka, and perhaps even as far as the coast of Africa in boats with outriggers. Certainly they have left numerous traces in canoe design, rigs, outriggers and fishing techniques, and a mention in Greek literature (Christie 1957)."
