Context (References)
Previously noted as 'From the Lanoh tribe of Negrities'. The term 'Negrities' [alt .Negritoes] is obsolete and was used to refer to people with perceived shared racial characteristics across various groups.

The Malay term 'Orang Asli' is used more commonly to refer to the indigenous people of the Malay peninsular

The term 'Semang' can be used to refer more broadly to people to groups such as Batek, Jahai, Maniq, Cheq Wong, Kintaq, Kensiw, though anthropologists tend to refer to Semang groups as Northern Aslian speakers, while the Lanoh people are Central Aslian speakers, though they shared many cultural characteristics with other Semang groups before they were re-settled in the late twentieth century in Perak State.
