A short history of the Indonesian language
Indonesian is a form of the Riau dialect of Malay, which belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian family of languages. The reach of the Austronesian languages extends from the coast of Africa (Malagasy spoken on Madagascar), to the islands of Southeast Asia (Balinese spoken on Bali), over to the Pacific (Maori spoken by the indigenous people of New Zealand).
Malay is spoken natively on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, which separates Sumatra from the Malay Peninsula. From the 5th century onwards the Strait of Malacca became a busy trade route, and the language spread throughout Indonesia, eventually becoming a lingua franca.
Over the years Malay came under the influence of other languages, including Sanskrit, Arabic, Dutch and English (as well as hundred of local languages, such as Javanese). But even when Indonesia came under Dutch control in the 17th century, Malay was so commonly used that it became the primary means of communication between the government and the people.
When Indonesia became an independent republic in 1945-49, a standardised version of Malay – coined Bahasa Indonesia (literally, “the language of Indonesia”) – was designated as the country’s official national language. Read more
