The Tausug people, are an ethnic group of Austronesian people that lives in Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. Tausug people are very closely related to ethnic Malays, and related to the Javanese Indonesians to a lesser extent. They speak the Tausug language, which is also closely related to Malay. It is called "Bahasa Tausug", and Malay is called "Bahasa Melayu" so you can see the two languages are closely related. Tausugs, are Muslims and Bahasa Tausug unifies the people. Since the Tausugs are one of those people who live in more than one country. Philippines and Malaysia/Indonesia speak different national languages. But Tausug people speak the same dialect, Bahasa Tausug. The Tausugs in Philippines speak Tagalog/Filipino as a second language. In Malaysia, they speak Bahasa Melayu as a second language as Bahasa Indonesia as a second language for the Tausugs in Indonesia.
The Tausugs are an ethnic group indigenous to the Sulu Archipelago in the Philippines. They are known for their seafaring skills, with many Tausugs historically engaged in fishing, trading, and piracy. Their culture is influenced by Islam, with most Tausugs practicing Sunni Islam.
Malaysia/Indonesia – Ang mga Badjao ay isang tribong naninirahan sa dagat, kadalasang kilala bilang “Sea Nomads”, na lumulutang sa baybayin ng Southeast Asia sa loob ng maraming siglo. Bilang isang nomadic na tribo na naninirahan sa mga stilt hut o boat house sa mababaw na tubig, sila ay naghahanapbuhay mula sa tradisyonal na libreng pagsisid para sa mga isda at perlas.
Answer:As far as I know, it's because Philippine schools teach Filipinos that they are Malays which is very bogus and a complete misconception. Filipinos and Malays have the same origin that is, but Malays follow a completely different culture. Also, note that only Filipinos call themselves Malays. An American anthropologist would not be calling Filipinos Malays. Here are the reasons why Filipinos think that they are Malays."ETHNIC" MALAYS vs MALAY "RACE"Also, "Malays" as an ethnicity and "Malays" as a race are commonly mistaken to be the same thing. The ethnic Malays, are an ethnic group from Southeast Asia who speak the Malay language or Malay dialect/creole as a native toungue. The Malay race is the ENTIRE region of Austronesia, meaning all the way from the African island of Madagascar to Hawaii's easternmost tip. Meaning that Samoans, Tongans, Fijians, Filipinos, Hawaiians and Madagascar Africans are all "Malays" by "race". So, "Malay race" is just a generic term for the Austronesian race so to speak.MISCONCEPTION OF MALAY AND FILIPINO ORIGINNow, a common and generally old misconception about Malays is that (especially with Filipinos), they came from Indonesia and Malaysia and sailed up north to the Philippines. Then they populated travelled up north and populated the Philippines making the Filipino dance party alive. There's pretty much one word I'd use to describe this, "bogus". This lie also explains why many Filipinos refer to themselves as Malays, whether it be the ethnicity or the race. It's actually the other way around, Malays actually were from an origin in Taiwan who reached the Philippines and then later Borneo, Sulawesi and Sumatra. As well as Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.MALAY CUlTURE AND INFLUENCEAlso some of the culture of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia share some things in common because all three countries share Malay backgrounds. Which is why Filipinos often refer to themselves as Malays. Filipinos and Malays both eat with their hands as a tradition and rice is served with nearly EVERY Malay/Filipino meal. This even goes into politics. For Malaysia/Indonesia and Philippines have different definitions of a Malay. In Malaysia and Indonesia, a Malay must speak Malay as a mother language and follows Islam. In Philippines, a Malay is a native to the Philippines, as neighboring countries south, Indonesia, Malaysia and southern Thailand. But remember, we sometimes mean "Malay" background by "sailing race", or the Austronesian race. You HAVE to always pay attention to which definition of "Malay" you refer to. So now we know, that ethnic Malays did NOT come to the Philippines from Indonesia/Malaysia, even though Filipino schools still continue to preach this bogus lie. However, there was A LOT of ancient historical and cultural interaction between Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. The Malays did come to the Philippines to rule the country prior to the Spanish colonization. But the Malays and indegenous groups of the Philippines were already seperate ethnic groups by this time.SO ARE FILIPINOS ETHNIC MALAYS OR NOT!??No, Filipinos are not ethnic Malays. They weren't Malays before, they are not Malays now. Filipinos are of "Malay stock" and this simply means that they share the same general physical and cultural traits with Malays. Sure, the Malays did govern parts of central and southern Philippines. But only the rulers and kings/sultans themselves were ethnic Malays, not the indegenous peoples of the Philippines. Ethnic Malays speak Malay (in any form or dialect) as a native language, and they follow the Islamic religion. Filipinos speak their own dialects, they don't even speak Malay as second language. They speak Tagalog as a second language. Even in Indonesian. They speak Malay (as Bahasa Indonesia) and most Indonesians aren't Malays they are Javanese. They are much closer to Malays than Filipinos, but they aren't called ethnic Malays and they don't have a problem with that. Most Filipinos are also Catholics, not Muslims. Although when it comes to Malay as a "race", yes Filipinos do belong to those.SO ARE THERE ETHNIC MALAYS IN THE PHILIPPINES?No there aren't. None at all. Islam is still a minority religion in the southern Philippines. Even the Filipino Muslims aren't ethnic Malays. Malays do not make a population in the Philippines at all. Most Filipinos aren't even closely related to ethnic Malays. Filipinos are closely related to the Chamarros from Micronesia, much more close than they are to ethnic Malays. In fact, Filipinos and Malays are simply cousins. The ONLYrelated ethnic group to Malays that exists in the Philippines are the Tausugs. Even in the Sulu Archipelago (a small island chain between southwestern Mindanao in Philippines and northeastern Sabah in Malaysia) there are no Malays. Malaysians from Sabah don't even consider themselves ethnic Malays. The Muslims from Mindanao don't even consider themselves Malays. In Indonesia, there a much close ethnic groups such as the Javanese, Balinese, Sunadnese and such. They all speak Malay, both the standard versions and the Indonesian register. But even they aren't considered Malays, and they don't call themselves Malays. They don't have a problem with that.
Sahunay is a single-reed aerophone of the Tausugs in the Philippines... -_- ,,,,,
The Tausugs are an ethnic group, that lives in the Philippines (Sulu, Palawan, Manila, Basilan), Malaysia (Sabah and Kuala Lumpur) and Indonesia (East Kalimantan). The Tausugs, are closely related to ethnic Malays. The Tausugs, are Muslims. They speak the Tausug language, which is called Bahasa Tausug, closely related to Malay; Bahasa Melayu and Indonesian, Bahasa Indonesia. (Indonesian and Malay are virtually the same language, but Tausug is only closely related). Bahasa Tausug and Bahasa Melayu unifies the Tausugs, since they live in multiple countries with the Philippines and Malaysia having the most. The Tausugs in Indonesia, speak the standard Malay language; rather than the Indonesian form (Bahasa Indonesia).
the tausug is very faithful to their amulet the badjaos are called the fisherman
The Tausug are an ethnic group that lives in Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. In the Philippines, the Tausugs inhabit Palawan, Manila, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and places in Cebu. In Malaysia, they live in Sabah and Kuala Lumpir. In Indonesia, they live in East Kalimantan. The unifying language of the Tausug people is Bahasa Sug, the language of the Tausugs. Since Tausugs are located in three countries, the national/official languages are different. Malaysians speak Malay, Indonesians speak Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and Filipinos speak Filipino (Tagalog). So, Bahasa Sug unifies the Tausugs regardless of country. Most Tausug people are Muslim. They are closely related to ethnic Malays.
Both the Tausugs and Badjaos are indigenous groups in the Philippines known for their seafaring skills and maritime culture. They both have a deep connection to the sea and rely on fishing and marine resources for their livelihood. Additionally, both ethnic groups have unique traditional practices and customs that are centered around their relationship with the ocean.
They don't go to church. Tausug people are Muslims, and if you know how Muslims worship it is everyday. Not just Sunday or a day. If there are Tausug Christians, chances are that they are a very small population.

The Mindanao war and Sabah issue is a complementary topic . The reason of war existence in Mindanao is simply a product of Sabah issue. President Marcos has trained 300 Tausug people of Mindanao to assist them in taking back Sabah but because of the political situation it blew out of proportion.Benigno Aquino has exposed the secret deal of President Marcos to the Tausug people of Mindanao, that resulted to abort the training of 300 Tausugs and thereby order to demolish the trainee. This resulted animosity from the Tausug people and afterwards counter by Malaysia and offer the Tausugs to take side with them as Muslim brother.Malaysia helped to established the MNLF under the banner of Nur Misuari to claim for "Bangsa Moro country ". Malaysia has trained the first batch of 90 MNLF commander in Banggi island and succeeded by 300 to fight against the Philippine government as a seccessionist group. It is now a common knowledge that Malaysia has supplied the arms and money to MNLF and later to MILF for the last 33 years of the seccessionist movement.Malaysia seems entangled on the same problem like President Marcos in supporting the Tausugs , when Nur Misuari has openly declare the independence of his Bangsa Moro country that resulted in bloody death of MNLF members , the Philippine government put up a manhunt to Nur Misuari for his rebellion case.Nur Misuari run to Malaysia to take refuge but because Malaysia is avoiding political and possible diplomatic sanction, Malaysia surrendered Nur Misuari to the Philippine government. Nur Misuari was ditched by Malaysia in sight to avoid repercussions. Nur Misuari is believed to be assisted by Malaysia through intermediaries in Philippine judicial to obtain temporary freedom in fear he might confess as whisle blower against Malaysia. Nur Misuari has obtain a bail after few years which is not normal for an unbailable case like rebellion..It was said that until now Malaysia is supplying arms and money to Mindanao war which was partly condoned by the Philippine government for some reason. There are rumors that Malaysia and Philippines could have agreed bilaterally to maintain the war in Mindanao. According to some analyst, the war in Mindanao is a must, to hamper the development of the Muslim population , which will be an advantage to both Philippines and Malaysia to avoid the idea of the Tausugs of their claim to both Sabah and Sulu for independence.Malaysia could be practically playing their cards that if Mindanao as a whole will become independent, Sulu will be sandwiched to finally annexed to sabah and become part of Malaysia. There is current consensus that the money earned by Malaysia out of Sabah is being invested back to the Philippines for this idea.SSNBK under the traditional and cultural leadership of HRH Sultan Esmail Kiram II was aware of the political developments. The Sultan has opened his arms to reconcile this complex problem by exercising his traditional and cultural leadership to act as the bridge between two political governments of Malaysia and Philippines. His HRH Sultan Esmail D. Kiram respect the " De Jure Govermnment " in place and his exercise of his " De Facto Leadership " will finally cure the problems . The Sultan being a spiritual man sees the continual sufferrings of his people and wanted to end the endless bloodbath in Mindanao in these last 33 years, by implementing his Traditional Leadership. Political solution has no way to solve the problem in Mindanao , but by Traditional and Cultural formula of binding the people of both Sabah and Mindanao under one Cultural and traditional leader, under the structure of their respective political governments.
