The thrushes are known in Malay as Murai, which we gloss as 'thrush'. This name is used more generally for thrush-sized species in many different families. Families using the name Murai include the Rhipiduridae (fantails), Pachycephalidae (Mangrove Whistler), Oriolidae (Black-and-Crimson Oriole), Muscicapidae (Rock Thrush and Stonechat), Monarchidae (Paradise-flycatchers), Leiothrichidae (some minlas), and Irenidae (Fairy Bluebird). In the Pellorneidae, the Rufous-winged Fulvetta is known as Burung Rimba Murai Batu 'rock-thrush jungle bird'.
Indonesian names
The Indonesian ornithological name for the thrushes is Burung Anis. A popular name for them is Punglor.
