What is typical of the Malay people is the designation of a nickname for a specific person in a family. The first child in a Malay family is called "long" or "sulung", the second child is called "ngah"/"ongah", the third child is called "cik" and the youngest child is called "cu/ucu". The nickname is usually followed by a word that describes the physical characteristics of the person concerned, for example "cik" "itam," which means a third child with a dark/black characteristic. This culture can only be found in the Riau Malay community, both in the Riau Islands as well as mainland Riau.
