Historically, Aceh developed into a powerful Islamic sultanate that established a monopoly on the Sumatran pepper trade and maintained strong ties to the Arab and Indian Islamic world, reaching its cultural and political peak during the seventeenth century. The Acehnese speak a language belonging to the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian family and practice a form of Islam more closely aligned with the traditions of the Arabian Peninsula and Indian subcontinent than with the moderate Islamic practices prevalent elsewhere in Indonesia.
