Separatist inclinations among ethnic Malays in Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala and Songkhla provinces, the cause of the [[South Thailand insurgency|Southern Thai insurgency]], are due in part to cultural differences from the [[Thai people]] as well as past experiences of forced attempts to assimilate them into Thai mainstream culture after the annexation of the [[Pattani Kingdom|Sultanate of Patani]] by Siamese [[Rattanakosin Kingdom]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/asiansecurityhan0000unse/page/240|title=Asian Security Handbook: An Assessment of Political-Security Issues in the Asia-Pacific Region|publisher=M.

Despite occasional subsequent rebellions, the policy was generally successful in ensuring peace until the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1901, Siam restructured the seven provinces into a single administrative unit, 'Monthon Pathani', under the new Ministry of the Interior, which consolidated the seven provinces into four: [[Pattani Province|Patani]], [[Narathiwat Province|Bangnara]], [[Sai Buri District|Saiburi]] and [[Yala Province|Yala]]. [[Kedah]] was then ceded to the British under the [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909|Anglo–Siamese Treaty]] of 1909, in which a more integrated district formerly belonging to Kedah became [[Satun Province]].<ref>{{harvp|Che Man|1990}}</ref> The Malay Muslims of Satun are less inclined towards separatism; this is largely a result of the historical affinity of the [[Setul Kingdom|Malay King of Setul]] towards Siam, compared to the violent breakup of the Sultanate of Patani. Pro-Thai inclinations can also be observed in Malay communities in Phuket, Ranong and Bangkok.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Fraser |first=Thomas M. |title=Rusembilan: A Malay Fishing Village in Southern Thailand |date=1960 |publisher=[[Cornell University Press]] |series=Cornell Studies in Anthropology, I |location=Ithaca |pages=88}}</ref><ref>{{harvp|Yegar|2002|pages=79–80}}</ref>

In Province Pattani, Narathiwat & Yala also known as 3 Malay regions/Province (''kawasan 3 wilayah'') having and practicing the same culture as the state of [[Kelantan]], Malaysia. They also speak the same language but some different because [[Standard Malay]] education is non-open and not supported by the Thai government which causes them to sometimes mix Malay and Thai.
=== Language ===
{{See also|Languages of Thailand|Kelantan-Pattani Malay}}
The majority of Malays in Thailand speak a distinct variety of Malay known as [[Pattani Malay]] (Yawi: ''Baso Yawi/Pattani''). However, not all Thai Malays speak Pattani Malay, some people who live in [[Satun Province|Satun]] and its vicinage use another distinct variety of Malay known as [[Satun Malay]], while the Malays up north in [[Bangkok]] have developed their distinct variant of Malay that incorporated elements of localism with visible Pattani-Kedahan Malay dialect influences known as [[Bangkok Malay]] (Bangkok Malay: ''Bangkok Melayu/Nayu''). The Bangkok, Kedahan and Pattani are closely related and shared many similar vocabularies but still mutually partly unintelligible.
With the introduction of Islam to Southeast Asia, the Malays use a modified version of the Arabic script known as [[Jawi Script|Jawi]]. Unlike other parts of the Malay world, like Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, where the usage of Jawi is declining rapidly from the increasing usage of the Latin alphabet, Jawi is still widely used and understood among Malays in Thailand.
