Summary

TLDRThe script traces the origins of the Indonesian language, which evolved from the Malay language used in Southeast Asia since the 7th century. Evidenced by a 683 Palembang inscription, Malay became a daily language along the Malacca Strait. Over time, it shifted to a lingua franca for trade and governance across the archipelago. By the 17th century, with Dutch colonization, and into the 20th, Indonesians sought a unifying language. The indigenous people agreed on Malay, which was standardized and renamed Indonesian. Officially recognized as the national language on October 28, 1928, coinciding with the Youth Pledge, it symbolizes unity.
