Banyak Islands, group of more than 60 small islands, in Aceh semiautonomous province, Indonesia. The largest of the islands are Great Banyak, or Tuangku, Island and Bangkaru Island. With an area of 123 square miles (319 square km), the group lies north of Nias Island and 18 miles (29 km) west of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean. The population is a mixture of settlers from northern and central Sumatra and from Nias; most are Muslims. Agriculture—rice and root crops—is largely for subsistence, but copra is exported.
