The Poccasin Archipelago was inhabited for thousands of years by various different indigenous groups, including the Bemung, [[Ketaserang|Nyé-Seru]] and [[Neng La]] peoples, with Malaccan and other Malay trade flourishing in the 1400s, until the Portuguese set up a colony in Cassim Po in the 1500s. Cassim Po was initially abandoned, then re-established by the British, who by the 1800s had turned the small ghost town into a thriving port, with a large population, which eventually lead to mingling between European colonists and the native [[Kabao]] population, creating a unique creole culture that would develop what would eventually become [[Poccasin English]] and [[Bemé]]. | The Poccasin Archipelago was inhabited for thousands of years by various different indigenous groups, including the Bemung, [[Ketaserang|Nyé-Seru]] and [[Neng La]] peoples, with Malaccan and other Malay trade flourishing in the 1400s, until the Portuguese set up a colony in Cassim Po in the 1500s.
