Hi, I'm working on a TL where modern (post-roman) republicanism really takes off in the Malay Archepeligo rather than Europe/ the new worlds. Does anyone know words in the local languages (Malay/Indonesian, Javanese, Balinese, etc) that would translate the basic concept without deriving from "res publica"?

(Influence from the various Philipine, Chinese, and Indian languages is fine)
