520 # # |a The Chitties, or Chettis, of Melaka are one of the first communities of Peranakan descent in Malaysia. They are descendants of South Indian traders who married local women during the earliest days of the Melaka Sultanate.

However, while being well known in Melaka, little is known about them in the other states of Malaysia.
