Mi-nang-ge-bu

Original Name: 
Minangkabau
Chinese Name: 
米囊葛卜
Notes: 

A maritime Southeast Asian polity referred to only once in the MSL, in 1405 (Tai-zong shi-lu, juan 47.1b). There seems little doubt that this represents the name Minangkabau, located in upland Sumatra in modern Indonesia.

For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen, Xie and Lu (1986; 999-1000).
