Aneuk Jamèë is an Acehnese term referring to the Minangkabau diaspora who inhabit or settled in the southwestern regions of Aceh (in Aceh Singkil, South Aceh, Southwest Aceh, and parts of Simeulue) in northernmost of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They speak a distinctive dialect of Minangkabau, known as Jamèë.
They parted from the larger Minangkabau society due to the common intermarriage to some Aceh-based people, namely Acehnese, Kluet, Singkil, and Simeulue.
