This article attempts to trace and analyze the degree of Persian cultural impact in Maritime Southeast Asia to provide a more complex picture of the cultural pluralism and hybridization, which has been taking place in this region since time immemorial. The primary argument of this paper is that the societies of the Malay-Indonesian region were once part of a great cultural sphere, which has been labeled as the ‘Persian cosmopolis’. This connection to various Persianate societies across the Indian Ocean brought about intense mutual interaction, resulting in numerous and highly formative linguistic, cultural, political and also material borrowings, mainly on the Malay side. Therefore, the author first strives to review and cast more light on the general historical knowledge regarding how, and how intensely, the Malay world was involved in this cultural sphere, what particular important shifts and imports occurred during this historical era and what the circumstances of this interaction were. This historical approach will be combined with an attempt at historical linguistics via examining a range of loan-words from Persian into Malay with the aim to define the main spheres of mutual interaction.
