Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on silat, the family of martial arts of maritime Southeast Asia, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for a broad regional overview and less reliable for any one style's specific lineage claims, which a dedicated specialist source would need to settle. NotesWikipedia's article on silat, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the December 2019 UNESCO inscription of pencak silat and silat on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity under a Malaysian nomination, and for its account of the kris dagger and other traditional weapons drawn from everyday objects, standard reference facts distinct from the atlas's existing Britannica citation.
