Colonial rule left behind a language game of totalized identities that is defined by exclusivity and oppositional in nature. In conclusion, the effects of colonialism in Southeast Asia were complex and varied, and have had a lasting impact on the region. Given the arduous tasks of nation-building that seeks to unite the disparate ethnic and religious communities within the political boundaries are inherited from the colonial rulers, the governments of nascent Southeast Asian states forged national identities based on constructed, distinctive national characteristics and values that supposedly sets them apart from their neighbours (Narine 2004).

Colonialism did have its negative effects but it opened up the countries status in the world to some extent, during Spanish colonial times, the British invasion and the two-year occupation The One ASEAN identity will continue to be nothing more than a political slogan. A possible explanation for this absence of identification with the ASEAN identity is that the people of Southeast Asia continue to be trapped in a language game inherited from the colonial era which has defined national identities based on the notion of exclusivity and a worldview that accepts modern state boundaries as a given political reality.
