Under the Bangkok Treaty of 1909, Siam (as Thailand was once known) transferred whatever rights or power over the northern Malay states (Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis) to the United Kingdom. The British later imposed treaties similar to the Federated Malay States towards these northern states. Johore accepted a treaty of protection in 1885 and eventually succumbed under pressure to accept a British Advisor in 1904.

The five states later joined with the other states to form the Malayan Union, and are now part of Malaysia.

Administration and language

The chief officer of the British colonial administration was called the "advisor". In contrast to the Federated Malay States, the Unfederated Malay States enjoyed greater autonomy. The de facto official language of the Unfederated Malay States was Malay with Jawi script.
