The Palembang (Malay: Orang Palembang; Palembang language: Uwong Pelémbang) or Palembang Malay (Indonesian: Melayu Palembang; Jawi: ملايو ڤلامبڠ‎)^[2] are a sub-ethnic group of Malays that inhabits the interior parts of South Sumatra province, Indonesia.

The 2010 census recorded 1,252,258 Palembang^[1] living in Indonesia.^[3]^[4] They speak Palembang, which is a variant of Malay in Sumatra and also has been influenced by Javanese since parts of South Sumatra used to be under direct Javanese rule for quite a long time, the speech varieties of Palembang and its surrounding area are significantly influenced by Javanese, down to their core vocabularies.^[5]
