Loanwords that are shared by multiple languages are known as Wanderwörter and their distribution usually follows trade networks. Languages throughout the Insular Southeast Asia are connected by a web of Wanderwörter which have diffused there since the antiquity along maritime trade routes, through political alliances, and shared religions. Maritime routes were constrained by the watercraft design, monsoon patterns and sea currents, each of which significantly affects the travel distance and travel direction, which in their turn determine the plausible trade network in various periods. It is our aim to explore new inter-disciplinary approaches that can support us in charting the layered network of past maritime routes and handle the evidence available in linguistics and other disciplines, such as archaeology, history, or anthropology
