Demang, a native district police officer; a petty district officer under a Regent. This word, 

 like almost all other titles of rank , is probably of Sanscrit origin. The first part being 

 an abbreviation of Adhi, C. 24, chief, superior; and Mang may be Man., an Elu form 

 of Manushya, or it may be derived from Ma?ia, C. 514, to know, to understand, the 

 mind considered as the seat of thought or reflection. The termination is made in ng 

 in conformity with a frequent Potynesïan predilection: and the whole word will then 

 indicate a person who is chief, or who is conspicuous for reflection. The Dëmangs were 

 the leaders of their countryman , as instanced in the well known case of Demang Lebar 

 Daun, who led the Malays from the interior of Sumatra. This clipping of the initial 

 letter of Adhi in composition is heard in Diyang ; and adhipati is frequently heard pro- 

 nounced Dipati.
