origin of the lampung

origin of the lampung, PARTIAL (large) Lampung people believe if they come from Skala Brak, West Lampung. Skala Brak was first inhabited by tribes Tumi. After the arrival of four UMPU Pagarruyung XV century or the sixteenth, namely Inder Gajar title in Lapah Umpu Way, Mr. Lang Pernong Umpu title, Nyerupa Umpu Sikin title, the title Belunguh Umpu Belunguh, and one daughter, Princess Moon Indarwati title nationalities Tumi migration to various directions. That is almost all areas of Lampung, South Sumatra to the south and the north coast of Banten. From the Skala Brak was born nine offspring (kebuayan) of the clan grew into dozens.Forgetting Pagaruyung

The origin of the Lampung according to mythology, just call comes from a time scale that Brak tribes inhabited Tumi. Recalled the story of the record there's a reality that is often overlooked: The Lampung also has lineage from Pagarruyung. There are two reconstructions of the ancestral line of Lampung since the arrival of four UMPU who come to scale Brak. First, this UMPU UMPU-ethnic beat and master scale Tumi Brak. If the thesis is true, then four UMPU who came to lead the region and the decrease of Lampung is UMPU-UMPU from Pagarruyung. Second, UMPU who came only stop, and invite some people to migrate Brak scale so that the people of Lampung ancestors came from Brak and Pagarruyung scale.

Reconstruction of migration from this Pagarruyung interesting to discuss for several reasons. Apart from the legend originated, is there any other justification that strengthens the possibility of the arrival of Pagarruyung UMPU. This justification can be an analysis of the influence of cultural context of the culture Lampung Pagarruyung today. When the migration is the fifteenth or sixteenth century, a strong Pagarruyung allegations had embraced Islam. Islamic coloring Pagarruyung social life so that we know the term: Traditional basandi syarak, syarak basandi Qur'aan. Lampung community in parallel with the religion Pagarruyung is a devout Muslim. Kuntara King Niti, the book (law) Lampung customary codification also includes the influence of Islamic religious law.

However, if we compare with the kinship system of the community embraced Lampung, striking differences appear. Pagaruyung community known as the community with a tradition of matrilineal kinship that is, unlike the majority of Indonesian culture, including the adopted Lampung patrilineal system. If Umpu scale derived from Pagarruyung Brak, of course, will affect the society's cultural system Lampung, including kekerabatannya system.
