INTRODUCTION to Indonesia - 13,000 islands, 300 distinct cultural groups and indigenous languages, and one language, Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian), understood right across the archipelago. From Sabang in the west to Merauke in the east, local linguistic differences can be as diverse as those found across Europe or Africa. However, while there's no one language that's understood throughout Europe or Africa, there is an Indonesian language that bridges the communication divide. Indonesian has grown to

Indonesian is a living language. Spend time skimming newspapers and deciphering graffiti and you'll notice foreign words that have been readily adopted into Indonesian. Words like demokrasi 'democracy' and korupsi corruption' are a part of everyday speech. But this continuous influx of words was not borne of the information superhighway. Indonesian is a Malay-based language, which itself has adopted words and concepts through both slow evolution and a history of lively trade. There are links in Indonesian to languages such as Sanskrit (istana, palace), Arabic (hakim, judge), Portuguese (meja, table), Chinese (mie, noodle), Dutch (kantor, office)

and English (otomatis, automatic). But the flow

TO YOU & YOU & YOU this book, the polite pronoun Anda is used, but it can be replaced with the informal mu and kau, or the respectful bapak or ibu (see Grammar, pages 22-24), depending on the situation. No matter what pronoun is used, the sentence structure won't change.

HOW

TO USE THIS PHRASEBOOK You Can Speak Another Language - anyone can speak another language. Don't worry if you you studied a language at school for years and can't remember any of it. It doesn't even matter if you failed English grammar. After all, that's never affected your ability to speak English! And this is the key to picking up a language in another country. You don't need to sit down and memorise endless grammatical details and you don't need to memorise long lists of vocabulary. You just need to start speaking. Once you start, you'll be amazed how many prompts you'll get to help you build on those first words. You'll hear people speaking, pick up sounds from TV, catch a word or two that you think you know from the local radio, see something on a billboard - all these things help to build your understanding.

In

There's just one thing you need to start speaking another

language - courage. Your biggest hurdle

is overcoming the fear of you to be just a bunch of sounds. The best way to start overcoming your fear is to memorise a few key words. These are the words you know you'll be saying again and again, like 'hello', 'thank you' and 'how much?'. Here's an important hint though: right from the beginning, learn at least one phrase that will be useful but not essential. Such as 'good morning' or 'good afternoon', 'see you later' or even a conversational

CLEANING UP In 1972, both the Indonesian and Malaysian governments decided to uniform the spelling of Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia, to simplify and phase out colonial influence within their languages. It was at this time that the orthography 'tj' became 'c', 'dj' became 'j' and 'j' became 'y'. In 1948, 'oe' became V. You will, however, see the old spelling used in people's names as well as in alternative spelling for placenames.

INDONESIAN & MALAYSIAN Although the national languages of Indonesia and Malaysia are both based on the same language known as Malay, the languages have diverged and are developing in somewhat different directions.

PROKEM

- JAKARTA

SLANG

Originating on the streets of Jakarta as a hybrid of the Indonesian and Javanese languages and of Betawi, the regional language of Jakarta, Prokem, was shunned as the low-class jargon of Jakarta's urban youth. Despite this, the influence of Prokem has travelled from the streets of the capital to markets and towns as far away as Kupang. These days there are Prokem dictionaries, and you'll hear people of all ages interspersing everyday Indonesian with Prokem phrases. To the untrained ear,

Prokem can sound

like gutteral gunfire.

Etiquette

HOME TRUTHS Many

Indonesians are quick to offer an invitation to it's customary to swap addresses or business cards. An Indonesian's home is where formalities really kick in, and the informality you may have experienced on the street will often be replaced with an almost uncomfortable reverence. As a guest, you'll be expected to do absolutely nothing while your hosts prepare refreshments and shoo away peering children. Since any attempt to help with preparing food or cleaning up will almost certainly be met with cries of jangan repot, 'don't their

home, and

trouble yourself, it's best to let things happen around you. Bringing along photos and maps is a great way to encourage your host to relax. If there are older people in the room, it's polite to approach and greet them with your head slightly

bowed. For many Indonesians, it's a sign of polite restraint not to accept an offer when it's first made. Therefore, if you're offering something, don't be deterred by a first refusal. Repeat the offer, and it will probably

be accepted.
