Orang Asli oral traditions
In the absence of indigenous writing systems, oral traditions have played an important role in transmitting cultural values and norms, as well as indigenous knowledge within each of the Orang Asli communities of Peninsular Malaysia, and continue to do so. These traditions include myths, legends, origin stories, and oral histories. All of these are, for the Orang Asli, records of actual events. Each group has its own versions, although there are many common themes and shared elements.
