I'm actually learning your language. It's surprisingly fun due to how easy it is. My only dislike is how the grammar in some words are backwards (for example shirt black instead of black shirt)

>The Kedukan Bukit inscription (Indonesian: Prasasti Kedukan Bukit) is an inscription discovered by the Dutchman C.J. Batenburg[1] on 29 November 1920 at Kedukan Bukit, South Sumatra, Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), on the banks of Tatang River, a tributary of Musi River. It is the oldest surviving specimen of the Malay language, in a form known as Old Malay.[2] It is a small stone of 45 cm × 80 cm (18 in × 31 in). This inscription is dated 1 May 683 CE.

No, bro. The Brits created the Malay category as it is understood today. Melayu used to be just one of the Nusantaran races, same with Jawa, Bugis, Dayak etc etc. But the Brits couldn't tell us apart, so they lumped a dozen races as "Malay" in Malaya. Regarding the "Bahasa Indonesia", we somehow managed to convince your country that was 100x our population to adopt OUR so-called Johor-Riau Malay dialect as the standard language under the pretext of pan-Nusantaraism. It amazes me that we managed to do it. By right, your national language should be Javanese. Not knocking my indon cuzz though. You made it work, which is an achievement nontheless.

Isn't every region separatist and your different ethnicities are constantly getting into race wars where you behead each other and burn each others shops?

Is this what your country put in your school textbook to cope with Malaysian-Chinese achievement or some shit? We have like 20-25% different vocabs and completely different accent

I used to work in a Japanese restaurant owned by Indonesians (all Jap restaurants in the West are owned by Chinese and SEA monkeys, btw) and I used to have to listen to your shitty language for 5 hours every night. It literally sounds like primitive speak. Like people in desperate in need of colonization.

It makes sense though
Why the fuck would you put irrelevant adjective first before the actual main object? Without the object, that adjective is fucking useless, so shove their fucking ass and put them in the back

>>222164183
Putting the adjective first influences how I think of the noun. If you say apple green, I was already thinking of a red apple and now have to make it green. If you say green apple, I have the green ready to put into the shape of an apple.

true. Indonesia as a nation is a completely modern invention just like Kenya, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
>>222163412
the Riau in Johor-Riau is in Indonesia though
>>222163813
not necessarily disagreeing with you but whether or not Malay as a people or as a language came from Sumatra is completely irrelevant because the modern Malay identity was created by the Malacca Sultanate which was definitely peninsular. Pre Malacca Malay culture is irrelevant, you might as well be talking about aliens.

Also I feel like it's cheating implicitly to claim this when you live on chain islands and many of the groups ethnic are apart split. Divisions island help stop conflicts ethnic a lot. Obviously not between groups ethnic on the island same, but you are dealing still with a scale different from say, the Balkans. At least that is theory mines.

partially true but I think the more consequential factor is that Indonesian nationalism effectively smothered any kind of ethnic based nationalism that would have developed under different circumstances. compare this with Yugoslavia, where the constituent ethnic groups already had their own sense of nationalsim, but we're essentially forced to unite under Serbia, a nation that by that point also had a strong feeling of Serbian nationalism of their own rather than Yugoslav nationalism.
