Southeast Aceh Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara) is a regency in the Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sumatra.

The Non-Alas People

The original inhabitants of this regency are the Alas people. They use the Alas language and live under the customs (adat) of those people. However, the population of the Southeast Aceh Regency has become very diverse due to migration from other regencies of Aceh and beyond. Although this Regency is part of Aceh province, the Aceh people (an eastern coastal grouping) do not dominate this place.

There are other smaller ethnic groups that are still new to the Regency and do not constitute a majority population elsewhere, such as Palembangese Malay people.
