Indonesian Languages
APA KABAR!
• Indonesian is a 20th-century name formally. Counting on how you define a language and the way you count its number of speakers, today Malay-Indonesian ranks around sixth or seventh in size among the world’s languages. With dialect variations, it's spoken by quite 200million people within the modern states of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. It’s also a crucial vernacular within the southern provinces of Thailand, in East Timor and among the Malay people of Australia’s Cocos Keeling Islands within the Indian Ocean. It’s understood in parts of the Sulu area ofthe southern Philippines and traces of it are to be found among people of Malay descent in Sri Lanka, South Africa and other places.
• Malay is simply one among many scores, perhaps hundreds, of various languages within the area now occupied by the Republic of Indonesia. In the Indonesian nationalist movement chose it because of the future nation’s national language. Its name was changed to Indonesian, literally: “the language (Bahasa) of Indonesia”. In English, we call the language “Indonesian”: it's not correct to call it simply “Bahasa”. • It is the official language of Indonesia. Most Indonesians speak this although there are over 700 languages colloquial languages in Indonesia. The Indonesian language has an extremely important role in the Republic of Indonesia, where it serves as the official national language and acts as a unifying force as the common tool of communication in a country where hundreds of languages coexist.
