About the language

Indonesian, also known as bahasa Indonesia, is the lingua franca of Indonesia, a country of over 700 languages. It is the standardised form of Malay and understood by Malay speakers, despite certain vocabulary differences. Around 30 million people are native speakers of Indonesian and the rest – around 140 million – speak it as a second language. The majority of vocabulary is Austronesian in origin, but Indonesian has also been influenced by Dutch, English, Portuguese, Sanskrit, Hindi, Chinese and other languages.

Indonesian

is the official and national language of Indonesia. It is a standardized variety of Malay,an Austronesian language that has been used as a lingua franca in the multilingual Indonesian archipelago for centuries. Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world, with over 270 million inhabitants—of which the majority speak Indonesian, which makes it one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.

Most Indonesians, aside from speaking the national language, are fluent in at least one of the more than 700 indigenous local languages; examples include Javanese and Sundanese, which are commonly used at home and within the local community. However, most formal education and nearly all national mass media, governance, administration, and judiciary and other forms of communication are conducted in Indonesian.

Under Indonesian rule from 1976 to 1999, Indonesian was designated as the official language of Timor Leste. It currently has the status of a working language under the country’s present constitution along with English.

Fun facts of language

  • A false friend for English speakers is ‘air’, which in Indonesian means ‘water’.
  • Indonesians have a concept called ‘jam karet’ – literally ‘rubber time’ – which refers to a flexible attitude towards deadlines and appointments.
  • Nouns can be repeated to form plurals or express similar concepts: ‘langit’ is sky but ‘langit-langit’ is ceiling, and ‘mata’ is eye while ‘mata-mata’ is spy.
