|---|
Phonetically "Da-ni", this appears to represent the last two final syllables of "Patani". The Ligor Chronicles list of tributaries noted by Wyatt (1994; 34) also records Patani as "Tani". The MSL references confirm, through the related mention of Siam (q.v.) and the Chinese pirate Lin Dao-qian, that this term indeed refers to Patani. The MSL references can be compared with Hsu Yun-tsiao (1946), Ibrahim Syukri (1985), Teeuw and Wyatt (1970) and Tibbetts (1979; 242). For further details on Patani and Lin Dao-qian, see Wu Yi-lin (1985; 199-218).
For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen, Xie and Lu (1986; 134, 135, 1015-16).
