The Sultanate of Brunei (Jawi: كسلطانن بروني) or simply Brunei (/bruːˈnaɪ/ broo-NY), also known as the Brunei Empire, was a Malay sultanate, centered around Brunei on the northern coast of Borneo in Southeast Asia. Brunei became a sovereign state around the 15th century, when it substantially expanded after the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese,[4][5] extending throughout coastal areas of Borneo and the Philippines, before it declined in the 17th and 18th centuries.[6] It became a British protectorate in the 19th century.
