What is the Indonesian language?
Indonesian, the official language of the Republic of Indonesia, traces its roots to a dialect of Malay—a trade language once widely spoken around the Malacca Strait, bridging the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra.
During Dutch colonial rule, this dialect evolved into Bahasa Indonesia, a unifying national language. Following Japanese occupation, Indonesia declared independence in 1945, officially adopting Indonesian as its national language.
Closely related to Malay (Malaysian), Indonesian shares high mutual intelligibility, though differences in spelling, vocabulary, and even meanings of identical words require caution. It also shares notable similarities with Tagalog (Filipino).
Indonesian Script
Indonesian uses the Latin alphabet.
How to Say “Hello” in Indonesian
Selamat siang /səˈlɑːmʌt siˈɑːŋ/
Primary Regions of Use
Language Family: Austroasiatic → Malayo-Polynesian Branch
Regions Spoken: China, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and surrounding areas
The Grammar of Indonesian
Indonesian is often considered an easy language to learn because it lacks grammatical complexities such as singular and plural distinctions, gendered nouns, verb conjugations, and case changes. Its sentence structure follows the same Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order as English, and pronunciation is straightforward—words are generally read as they are written, following Romanized spelling rules.
Indonesian shares a strong resemblance with Malay, often called its sibling language. For example, the word for “police” is "polisi" in Indonesian and "polis" in Malay. Due to these similarities, special attention is needed when translating, as spelling differences can sometimes alter meanings.
