  "The Adang archipelego consists of several islands in the Andaman Sea, and the biggest of them all is the one that bears the name "Pulau Adang". The Urak Lawoi' inhabit only three of these islands, and these are Pulau Adang, Pulau Lipe', and Pulau Rawi, all of which are close to the mainland, the Province of Satun, and 64 nautical miles to Malaysia's Langkawi Islands in the south."

  "The people earn their common-noun label "sea-gypsies" due to their way of life of living in wooden boats (the kabang) and temporary huts, and foraging for food. The fish they catch from the sea using nets are for their own consumption, and mostly for the purpose of bartering for other goods in the local markets. Hogan writing in 1972 gives an interesting account of the Moken and Moklen, as he does for the Urak Lawoi'."

  "Orang Asli (original people) is a Malay term currently in use for small ethnolinguistic groups living on mainland Malay Peninsula and the islands around it. It is a direct translation of the English word aborigines, but this label was strictly used by the British to refer only to those living on the mainland. Those living in the islands and roamed the seas were seen as a separate group and were called "sea-people" or "sea-gypsies"."
