Rules for Alphabetic Pronunciation in Bahasa

In its language literature sense the term Indonesian language has been used primarily by Dutch scholars. Most scholars have avoided this expression in connection with the study of the Chamic languages of mainland ‘Southeast Asia’, despite the close relationship of this group to Malay and some other languages of western Indonesia. Although it remains a convenient label for languages of a certain type and geographic area, the term Indonesian language does not appear to refer to any definable subgroup within the Austronesia family.
