Kelantanese Malays are the state's most populous ethnic group. They speak Kelantanese Malay, which has its own syntax, accent, and figures of speech that separate it from standard Malay and other Malay dialects in Malaysia.
Other Malay dialects can understand Kelantanese Malay to some extent. While the Arabic script known as Jawi has lost favour in other regions of Malaysia, it is still frequently used in Kelantan for writing and printing Malay. Kelantan's signboards are written in both Jawi and Rumi. Thai is also spoken to some extent. Because 95.7 percent of Kelantan's population is ethnic Malays, and all Malays are Muslims under the Malaysian Constitution, Islam is the most influential religion in the state.
The ethnic Thai residents of Kelantan are largely concentrated in an area around Tumpat, the state's coastal town with the majority of the state's two hundred Buddhist temples and a handful of moderately prosperous Siamese villages.
Tak Bai is the name of the Thai dialect spoken in Kelantan, which is named after the southernmost coastal town of Narathiwat Province, which lies directly across the Golok River from Malaysia. The Kelantan Thais are almost certainly descended from a four-century-old enclave of Narathiwat settlers who settled in sparsely inhabited Malay land.
The Chinese in Kelantan identify as Cino Kapong (rural Chinese) or Cino Bandar (urban Chinese) (town Chinese). Kampung Tok'kong (300-year-old temple), Batu Jong, Kampung Jelatok, Kampung Joh, Kampung Temangan, Kampung Mata Ayer, Kampung Tawang, Kampung Balai, and Gua Musang are all famous Chinese villages in Kelantan. Oghe Cino kito (our very own Chinese) are descendants of the previous waves of small-scale migration, while the elderly are known as Oghe Kelate beto (true Kelantanese). In Kelantan, Cina Kampung integration takes the form of "Malay behaviour as frontstage and Chinese behaviour as backstage." Speaking Kelantanese Malay even among themselves, wearing Malay-style attire, and observing specific Malay customs and holidays are examples of "frontstage" or public behaviour.
Indians are considered to be one of Kelantan's smaller ethnic groups. Indians were introduced into Kelantan during the British colonial period to work as labourers in rubber estates around Gua Musang and Tanah Merah.
The Temiar are a Senoic people that live on the Malay peninsula and are one of Malaysia's eighteen Orang Asli groups. They are mostly found in the states of Perak, Pahang, and Kelantan. The ethnic population is estimated to be roughly 32,000 people, with the majority living on the outskirts of the jungle and only a small proportion living in cities. Traditional animists, Temiar place considerable value on nature, dreams, and spiritual healing. The Temiar people also perform the ceremonial Sewang dance as part of their cultural beliefs.
The Jahai or Jehai people are a Malaysian indigenous people (Orang Asli) that live in Perak and Kelantan, as well as parts of Thailand. They have dark skin, curly hair, and Asian facial features, as well as a stocky build. The Jahai have a religious system in which Karei (pronounced "Kary") is a supernatural entity that watches over their deeds and behaviours. There are taboos and avoidance rules to follow in order to avoid attracting Karei's unfavourable attention. They believe that depending on Karei's preferences, various fragrances might either scare or attract her, such as the disagreeable smell of a burnt crayfish.
The Batek (or Bateq) are an indigenous Orang Asli people (numbering about 1,519 in 2000; belonging to the Semang group) who reside in Peninsular Malaysia's rainforest. They now mostly live in the Taman Negara National Park due to encroachment. Because the Batek are nomadic hunters and gatherers, the specific position of their communities varies depending on the territory they occupy. Because much of inland peninsular Malaysia was difficult to access for logging until around 1970, the Batek were common throughout the region. Since the trees in that area may now be harvested, the Batek have been confined to Taman Negara National Park and the adjacent area.
Menriq, Mendriq or Minriq is an aboriginal Mon–Khmer language of Malaysia.

With about 94 percent of the population, Malays are the most populous ethnic group in the state. Terengganu Malays are distinct from Malays in other parts of the country, with distinct customs, traditions, and dialects. Malays in the state are divided into two groups:
Terengganu Malays are the state's majority Malay sub-group. Except for Besut and northern Setiu, they are the majority Malay sub-group in all Terengganu districts. They usually speak Terengganu Malay, a different but closely related dialect to Kelantanese in the north. Terengganu Malays are also noted for their many customs and traditions, with the Ulek Mayang being one of the most well-known.
Besut Malays are mostly prevalent in the Besut and northern Setiu districts. Despite being Terengganu residents, they are ethnically, linguistically, and culturally closer to Kelantan, with whom they still have significant relations. Most Malays in Besut and northern Setiu speak Kelantanese, while those who have lived in other Terengganu districts for a long time can also speak Terengganuan.
The Terengganuan Chinese are the state's largest minority ethnic group. They are largely of Hokkien heritage and speak a Hokkien dialect. Unlike in other regions of Malaysia, Terengganu's Chinese are far more assimilated; they speak fluent local Malay (Terengganuan in most parts of Terengganu and Kelantanese in Besut) and live a similar lifestyle. They also have a Peranakan culture known as "Mek Awang," which is a blend of Chinese (primarily Hokkien) and Malay (Terengganu Malay) cultures, as evidenced by their cuisine, clothing, and language.
In Terengganu, the majority of Indians are Tamils who follow Hinduism, however a small minority follow Islam. The Indian community in Terengganu, like their Chinese counterparts, is well assimilated, with many speaking Terengganu Malay, Tamil, Standard Malay, and English. Kuala Terengganu has only one important Hindu temple. In Terengganu, the majority of Indians dwell in metropolitan areas such as Kuala Terengganu. In Terengganu, there is only a small Malayalee community.
In Terengganu, the Siamese have a tiny but well-organized community. They can be found in Besut, Setiu, and Kuala Terengganu in small numbers. Except for their names and religion, there is little physical distinction between Malays and Siamese. Their original language is Southern Thai, because many of them dwell in Besut, they also speak Kelantanese. Siri Neng Buah, the current president of the Malaysian Siamese Association, is one of the most well-known Terengganuan Siamese.
The Orang Aslis are Peninsular Malaysia's indigenous people. They are typically found in Terengganu's Hulu Terengganu and Besut districts. In Terengganu, there are two Orang Asli ethnic groups: the Semaq Beris and the Senoi group. The Semaq Beris inhabit near Lake Kenyir or other parts of the district. Apart from the Semaq Beris, the Batek are a Semang ethnic group who live largely in Terengganu's interior, particularly in Taman Negara and other regions of Terengganu.
The Semaq Beri or Semoq Beri people are Orang Asli from the Senoi branch who inhabit in the states of Pahang and Terengganu in Peninsular Malaysia. The Semaq Beri language, which is spoken by the people, is an Austroasiatic language that belongs to the Aslian language branch's Southern grouping.
The term 'orang asli' is used to refer to a heterogeneous group of people, of which the Batek tribe is a part. It was probably initially used by the British to identify these people, as it signifies "original people" in Malay. The Negrito came into touch with the Malay Srivijaya empire. They used to trade with the locals, but they were also exposed to exploitation, raids, slavery, and paying tribute to the Malays. Some Negrito tribes from the southern woodlands were enslaved and exploited for over a thousand years until modern times, while others lived in seclusion and avoided contact.

Malays, who make up 70% of Pahang's population and are described in the constitution as Muslims who follow Malay customs and culture, are the most dominant ethnic group. The Malays, in turn, are divided into various ethnic groupings, the most powerful of which are the Pahang Malays. The group has a long history in Pahang's vast riverine systems, and they are well-known in the state's history. Small Pahang Malay populations can also be found in the basin of the Lebir River in Kelantan, as well as the upper reaches of many rivers along the Perak-Selangor border, descendants of fugitives from the 19th-century civil war that decimated their homeland.
The Malaysian Chinese, also known as Chinese Malaysians (Chinese: 馬來西亞華人; Malay: Orang Cina Malaysia), are Malaysian citizens of Han Chinese ethnicity. They form the second largest ethnic group after the Malay majority constituting 22.4% of the Malaysian population. Most of them are descendants of Southern Chinese immigrants who arrived in Malaysia between the early 19th century and the mid-20th century. Malaysian Chinese form the second largest community of Overseas Chinese in the world, after Thai Chinese. Malaysian Chinese are traditionally dominant in the business sector of the Malaysian economy.
Malaysian Indians or Indian Malaysians are Malaysian citizens of Indian or South Asian ancestry. Today, they form the third-largest group in Malaysia after the Malays and the Chinese. Most are descendants of those who migrated from India to Malaysia during the British colonisation of Malaya
