Riau is in Indonesia. Riau is a province. It is in the middle east of Sumatra, near the Strait of Malacca. Before July 2004, the province included the Riau Islands, a group of small islands east of Sumatra Island and south of Singapore. These islands were split off as a province in July 2004. You can find out more about Riau's capital, Pekanbaru, here. With North Sumatra to the northwest, West Sumatra to the west and Jambi to the south, this province has a lot of other places to go on land. A province called Riau has a total area of 87,023.66 square kilometres (33,600.02 sq miles). It goes from the slopes of Bukit Barisan to the Strait of Malacca. Between 2000 and 3000 millimetres of rain fall on Riau every year, and the average amount of rain per year is about 160 days. Riau is now one of the wealthiest provinces in Indonesia because it has a lot of natural resources, like petroleum, natural gas, rubber, palm oil, and fibre plantations. Extensive logging and plantation development in Riau has led to a huge loss of forest cover, and fires caused by these fires have caused a lot of haze in the rest of the region. Riau is part of the world of the Malay people. It is now thought of as the cultural centre of the Malays in Indonesia. However, Riau is a very diverse province because it is home to many different groups of people, including Malay, Minangkabau, Chinese, and Batak. The local dialect of Malay in Riau is thought to be the language of communication in the province. Indonesian, the standard form of Malay, is used as the official language and also as a second language for many people in the province. That isn't all. People also speak different languages like Batak and Minangkabau in the area, as well. Between 40,000 and 10,000 BC, Riau is said to have been home to people. The traders and merchants from the Indian subcontinent came to trade with the people in the region between the 5th and 12th centuries AD. They spread the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism in the process. As a result, the Melayu Kingdom and the Srivijaya Empire were in charge of Riau. In the 14th century, Muslim traders from India and the Arabian Peninsula came to the region. This started the spread of Islam in the area. By the end of the 14th century, Hindu and Buddhist influence is declining, and Islam is becoming more popular. This led to the breakup of many Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Riau. Those kingdoms that were still around changed into Islamic Sultanates. There are three great Malay sultanates in the region by the 16th century, which are the Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate, the Indragiri Sultanates, and the Johor Sultanate. The Johor Sultanate, which would split into modern Johor and Riau-Lingga in the 19th century, is the last of these. However, by then, Europeans had started to visit the area. People came from Portugal at the beginning, then Dutch people, then people from the UK. It was in 1824 that the Dutch and British agreed to split up the area of influence in the region. The British would rule the Malay peninsula, and the Dutch would rule the island of Sumatra. It was soon after that, though, that the power of the sultanates in the area began to fade. As time went on, the sultanates became a protectorate of the Dutch and were reduced to nothing more than a puppet state of the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch had the power to intervene in everyday life. Until 1942, when the Japanese invaded and took over Riau in the Pacific during World War II, this was how things were until then. It took three years for the Japanese to leave after committing atrocities and war crimes during their three-year rule of the country. Soon after, the Dutch came back to the region and took control. They left in 1949 after the Dutch?Indonesian Round Table Conference, in which the Dutch agreed to give the Dutch East Indies to the Republic of Indonesia. Since then, Riau has been a part of the country of Indonesia, which is a single state. During the 1970s, a lot of Indonesia has seen a slowdown in the number of people coming into the world. Riau has been an exception, with rates rising every decade since 1970 to 4.35 percent per year for the 1990s. However, this rate slowed significantly in the next decade. As of 2010, there were 5,538,367 people living there, but by 2020, that number will be 6,494,008. There are three possible ways that the word "riau" came to be the name of this province, but they all start with the same letter. The word "rio" comes from the Portuguese word for river, which is "rio." 1514: There were Portuguese soldiers who went to follow a river and look for a kingdom they thought was there. They were also trying to find followers of Sultan Mahmud Shah who fled after the Malacca Sultanate fell. riau comes from the word riahi, which means sea water. The second version says riau comes from this word. In the One Thousand and One Nights book, Sinbad al-Bahar is said to be the person who came up with the word "bahar." The third version says that this word comes from the language of the people in the area. It comes from the word rioh[what language is this?]. Or, "boisterous," which means crowded, frenzied people at work. People who live in the Bintan area, which is now in the Riau Islands, may have named it after the Malays who live there. Because Raja Kecil moved the Malay kingdom centre from Johor to Ulu Riau in 1719, the name is likely to have become more well-known than it is now. Use this name to talk about one of the four main sultanates that made up Riau, Lingga, Johor and Pahang. This name was used for one of them. This isn't true, though, because of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 between the Netherlands and United Kingdom, the Johor-Pahang sultanates were under British rule, and the Riau-Lingga sultanates were under Dutch rule.
