[edit] Add Minangkabau
I added a little background information and made one substantive addition to refer to the Minangkabau. Other than that, the page did what is was supposed to do.

Hi David91. I tend to disagree with you on that Minangkabau matronymic names. Although they have a matrilineal society, they do not have matronymic names. They have clan names, such as Chaniago, Piliang, Gucci etc., and some family names (usually based on their male forefather names or aliases), such as Salim, Nazar, Djambek, Hasan, etc. Or perhaps you could give us a few examples of the matronymic names? (Coz I could be wrong). Thanks mate.

[edit] Birth-order names
Many Indonesians are named after their birth order (3rd son, etc.). It would be nice to have a chart for at least either Malay or Javanese. (I had a list at one time, but have no idea where it is now.) kwami 08:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
