CHAPTER 9 A

 






the Sri Vishaya kingdom (also known as Majapahit kingdom also called as Kantoli)
 Sri Vishaya spoke an archaic form of Cebuano. Ilongos, Cebuanos and Warays share the same root and may in fact have descended from the Sri Vishaya, an empire acknowledged today to be one of the greatest Malayo-Polynesian nations ever

Ages before Manila imposed its Tagalog language on the Philippines, Visayans already were predominant outside of Luzon. In Samar and the Leyte. In coastal Iloilo, Capiz (where an unusual form of Ilongo, Capisnon, is spoken) and the Negroses. In Southern Masbate, Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Camiguin, Misamis, Lanao del Norte, Zamboanga, Agusan, Surigao (where an unusual form of Cebuano, Surigaonon, is spoken), Bukidnon and Davao. Curiously, the Karay-as and Aklanons of Panay also consider themselves Bisaya. Binisaya is not how they call their languages though. They must be pre-Visayan peoples with their own proud history and traditions who have since coexisted with their Ilongo-Bisaya neighbors

PROVINCES OF ANCIENT INDIA AND KANTOLI KINGDOM( Shihlifoshih) IN A A LAND CALLED MAA by chinese language
During the time of King Ashoka of India he expanded his provinces to Sri Vishaya kingdom and Sri Lanka kingdom
Chinese(Qin KINGdom) records tell of five Southeast Asian states sending trade missions to South China between 430 to 473 AD. After that, the one known by its Chinese toponym Kan-t'o-li prevailed over its neighbors. , this state was established near Palembang, Sumatra in the second century. Trade stopped during the 500's due to civil strife in China, and Kantoli was never heard of again. Inscriptions in Old Malay appear after 500 AD, notably in Sumatra, Banka Island, Java and the Malay Peninsula. Eight states emerged to resume trade with South China starting 608 AD but by 670 only one remained, Shih-li-fo-shih. Artifacts dated 775 AD from the Ligor isthmus of the Malay Peninsula

Like the Kantoli, Sri Vishaya warred on neighboring states. It was also based in Palembang. hat this state, which was known to the Arabs as Zapage, was the same entity as the Kantoli,

  Sri Vishaya ruled from the Malay Peninsula up to Western Java at its peak. It had diplomats, traders, sailors, an international seaport, and, according to its own inscriptions, an army of 20,000. As middlemen, they monopolized the highly lucrative Persian trade.  .
Some of them migrated to the northern provinces of Sri vvvishaya known to the chinese as "Maa(known today as the Philippines) and settled in kinhdoms of Madjaas what is now the Visayas.
