pl: Austronesians

This term is used primarily in linguistic, anthropological, and archaeological contexts to describe a vast family of languages and the peoples who speak them. It carries a scholarly register and is used to group diverse cultures across a massive geographic range, from Madagascar in the west to Easter Island in the east.

When used as a noun, it refers to an individual member of these populations. Because it denotes a specific ethnic or linguistic group, it is always capitalized.
