List of ethnic groups in Indonesia by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

More than 600 ethnic groups reside in Indonesia.[1] Data on ethnic identities were collected nationally in national censuses, such as in the 2000 census and the 2010 census held by Statistics Indonesia.[2][3] The following lists rank ethnic groups in Indonesia by population figures.

Initial classification

New classification

[edit]

This list was compiled from the same raw data of the 2010 census, according to the "new classification" developed by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in collaboration with Statistics Indonesia. The new classification categorized 1,331 coded ethnicities from the census into more than 600 groups instead of just 31 in the initial classification,[4] completely dissolved the placeholder "ethnic groups from X" categories to better capture the diversity of Indonesia's ethnic demography,[5] corrected misplaced groups and subgroups,[6] and attempted to aggregate and separate sub-ethnic groups into ethnic groups by relying on anthropological sources.[7]

A list of the largest 145 ethnic groups based on the new classification are shown in the table below:[8]
