Indonesia stands as one of the oldest islands in Asia to have been recorded in history due to the trading routes that were used by all of Asia and other continents. Indonesia is very different from other East Asian countries such as Thailand, Japan, and China. This is noticed through their cuisine, customs, and even their language.
Unlike other Asian languages like Thai, Japanese and Chinese, learning Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is considered a relatively easy language to learn. One of the reasons is the alphabet of the language. The script is Roman exactly like English which makes it easier for anyone who knows their basic ABCs to pick up Indonesian.
Indonesia has a population of 253 million with a very diverse culture and it is quite easy to learn Indonesian online, so why not get started today?
Origins:
The Indonesian language has existed for a long time, growing out of Malay and is part of the Austronesian language family. This specific language family tree consists of languages from Southeast Asia and beyond to the Pacific Ocean. Although it has existed for a long time, the language has been passed down authentically from its Proto-Austronesian ancestors, maintaining the Javanese dialect.
Why Indonesian?
Indonesia is surrounded by other growing nations such as Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore. What’s fascinating is that the Indonesian language is quite similar to the languages spoken in these three countries. Learning Indonesian will make it easier for you to communicate not only in Indonesia but its neighboring countries too.
Another reason is the ease of learning especially for native English speakers because it follows the Roman alphabet. In addition to that, the language itself is simple with no tones, gender differentiation or tenses.
