Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is the official language of
Indonesia. Indonesian is a
standardised dialect of the
Malay language that was officially defined with the declaration of Indonesia's independence in 1945. Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world. Of its large population the number of people who fluently speak Indonesian is fast approaching 100%, thus making Indonesian one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Most Indonesians, aside from speaking the national language, are often fluent in another regional language or local dialect (examples include
Minangkabau,
Sundanese and
Javanese) which are commonly used at home and within the local community. Most formal education, as well as nearly all national media and other forms of communication, are conducted in Indonesian. In
East Timor, which was an Indonesian province from 1975 to 1999, the Indonesian language is recognised by the constitution as one of the two working languages (the other is
English, alongside the official languages of
Tetum and
Portuguese).
