Indonesian language search marketing
Indonesian - also called 'Malay'
The Indonesian or Malay language: an introduction
Indonesian is the national language of Indonesian since the country's independence in 1945. Indonesian and Malay are the same language and although at one time they had different spellings, this situation was rationalised in 1972.
How many speakers are there of the Indonesian language?
25 million people in Indonesia speak Indonesian - though the language is understood by many more millions in Indonesia. Malay is spoken by some 14 million people in Malaya and surrounding countries.
What Indonesian language issues do I need to watch out for?
An intriguing feature of Indonesian is the way it creates plurals - by repeating the word twice. So for instance, that would make the plural of the
English word 'book' become 'book-book'. This can have an impact of keyword density for search marketers.
