 DoBeS — Semang - Language
‘Semang’ is an ethnographic label which refers generically to a cluster of foraging populations in the Malay Peninsula.
The Semang can be divided into several ethnolinguistic groups, including Kensiw, Kintaq, Jahai, Menriq, and Batek (which all speak closely related languages/dialects of the Northern subbranch of Aslian), as well as Lanoh (associated with a group of dialects belonging to the Central subbranch of Aslian).
The total number of Semang is estimated at around 2,500-3,000 individuals.

 35. The Negrito of Malaysia
It is likely that the Negrito (or rather their ancestors) were among the first modern humans to use and settle along that route, followed possibly a bit later by the ancestors of the Veddoids.
Most data available on the Semang at present is unfortunately still of the type acquired by "looking" and "measuring" (see Chapter 34, Sub-chapter 5 "Measurers and Lookers").
The Semang tribes live (or used to live) in the mountainous interior of peninsular Malaysia where they have lived in close association with a variety of Veddoid and tribal Malay groups.

 Phuket history, Thai antiques, art and temples in Thailand
Among the earliest permanent residents of Phuket were primitive tribes similar to the Semang pygmies that still exist today in Malaysia.
Small tribes of these hunter-gathers survived in the jungle by hunting and eating the bountiful fruits and roots found in the lush triple-canopy rainforest that then covered the entire island.
Small groups of these Semang people are reported to have survived in the dense jungles of the Phuket’s interior until finally being displaced in the mid-nineteenth century by tin miners.

 Green Left - An appeal from Malaysia's 'forgotten people'
This unfortunate incident would not have occurred if the authorities had seriously considered the almost incessant complaints of the Jahai that they were being harassed by Malay peasants who had moved closer to the settlement since the late 1970s.
In 1972 Jahai and other Semang from several localities in the district of Tanah Merah in Kelantan were enticed by the JOA to leave their homes and reside in a government-sponsored settlement.
The logging companies promptly ventured into the areas vacated by the Semang, and by 1988 almost all the forest in the vicinity had been logged.
