The Minangkabau people also brought along with them traditions, cultures, language (Minangkabau Malay language / dialect), and cooking styles; all of which helped shaped the state of Negeri Sembilan to what it is today. The capital of Negeri Sembilan is Seremban, a town that came about with the discovery of tin ore (in Rasah, a nearby town) back in the 1870s.
