The term Silat is also employed to refer to similar fighting styles in areas with significant Malay cultural influence, in modern-day Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. In Indonesia, the term Pencak Silat considered as a composite term referred to the whole Silat, it is derived from the Sundanese/Javanese word "Penca(k)" and the Minangkabau word "Silek" or Malay word "Silat", has been used as an umbrella term of traditional martial arts of Indonesia. In Malay terminology, the term 'Pencak Silat' is also used, referring to the exoteric aspect of the fighting style and the esoteric aspect of Silat called "Seni Silat" ('the art of Silat'). In other words, 'pencak' (fighting) can be regarded as the "zahir" (outer/exoteric knowledge), and "seni" pertains to the whole of Silat including "batin" (inner/esoteric knowledge) and "zahir". "Seni Silat" is thus considered to be a deeper level of understanding. Therefore, it is said that each aspect of Pencak Silat emanates from "seni" (art), including both the fighting and the dance aspects.
