Penghulu
Penghulu ( Jawi: ; also Pěnghulu) is the headman or chief of a region in traditional societies on the Malay archipelago in Maritime Southeast Asia. The term is currently used in Brunei and Malaysia as the community leader of the smaller country subdivision or settlement. Etymology The word ''penghulu'' comes from agentive prefix ''peng-'', and the word ''hulu'', meaning "head", so it could be translated as "headman". It is cognate with the Tagalog ''pangulo'' – the official title of the President of the Philippines. History Traditionally, the Minangkabau who at the end of the 17th century settled at Negeri Sembilan, in present-day Malaysia, chose from among themselves a penghulu.

By the early part of the 18th century, the leaders of these four districts started calling themselves ''Undang''. Between 1821 and 1838 (the Padri War), many ...
