  • 仄迪人(馬來語:Chetty;英語:Chitty),是來自南印度泰米爾地區的商人與馬來半島女子所生下的族群。15至16世紀,這些來自南印度的人,乘船或經由陸路來到馬來半島進行貿易。當時馬來半島,尤其是馬六甲是國際貿易中心,有許多地區的人會集中在此處進行貨物買賣及其他生意。這樣的環境吸引他們前來,主要是從事放款借貸生意。他們與當地女子生下的後代,就是仄迪人。這些印巫的後代大多保留興都教的信仰。 (zh)
  • Els chitty són un grup específic del poble tàmil emigrat a Malacca i Singapur, coneguts també com a indis peranakans en contraposició als peranakan (xinesos dels Estrets). La seva població actual s'estima en unes dos mil persones. Parlen un malai deformat amb inclusió de moltes paraules tàmils, però la majoria ha perdut l'habilitat de parlar fluidament el tàmil. (ca)
