General

Information is from dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. All Malaysian and Indonesian names in the process of conversion into modernised spelling only. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

In Malaysian ornithological usage, the bulbuls are all known as Burung Merbah, glossed here as 'bulbul (bird)'.

Indonesian names

The Indonesian names for the bulbuls largely follow earlier generic assignments that have now partly been superseded.

Species belonging to the genus Alophoixus (formerly Criniger) are known as Burung Empuloh (here glossed 'beardedbulbul').

Species belonging to the old genus Hypsipetes (now divided among Tricholestes, Iole, Ixos, and Hemixos) are known as Burung Brinji (here glossed 'streakedbulbul').

Species belonging or formerly belonging to Pycnonotus are split between those known as Burung Cucak (from Javanese), here glossed as 'bulbul1', and those known as Burung Merbah.

The word Cucak is popularly used for the leafbirds, which have an appearance similar to the bulbuls. The ornithological name for the leafbirds is Burung Cica-daun 'leaf-bulbul (bird)', using a variant form of the bulbul name.

ไพล pʰlay (Zingiber cassumunar, Zingiber montanum, or Zingiber purpureum) is a plant in the ginger family (Zingiberidae) widely used in traditional Thai medicine. Extracts typically have a greenish yellow to brown colour, and the name is used here as a colour word equivalent to English 'olivaceous'.

โอ่ง òoŋ is a traditional form of very large earthenware jar with rounded sides which is typically used for water storage. Criniger bulbuls often fluff out their neck feathers in a way which suggests the shape of that waterjar.
