I hope you have not been offended, since on wikipedia I saw that Indonesian is a variety of Malay rather than an independent language

and a question: because Afrikaans is not a dialect, but a daughter language of Dutch?

In my opinion they should be only 1 language, since with 4 Latin languages, 3 Germanic, 2 Slavic and the Greek language, they create a perfect pyramid of Indo-European languages, that is why Afrikaans should not be a separate language because it was only to avoid fights and English settlers came before the Dutch and that's why Afrikaans was created, right?

Perbedaan antara bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Melayu adalah beberapa kata yang sama tetapi mereka mengubahnya dan aksennya juga berubah serta Spanyol Amerika Latin dan antara Eropa

Hindustan adalah bahasa yang terbagi menjadi dua yaitu bahasa Hindi dan bahasa Urdu, yang membedakan adalah aksaranya dan beberapa kata tetapi sebenarnya mereka adalah 1 bahasa dengan aksara yang berbeda

Saya mengerti, tapi apa pendapat Anda tentang mengapa Afrikaans bukan bagian dari dialek Belanda? berkat Suriname, jadi kami menciptakan dunia yang setara dengan Inggris, Prancis, Spanyol, dan Portugis

Anda cepat merespon!

Sebagai penutur bahasa Spanyol, saya menganggap Asturleones dan Spanyol seolah-olah bahasa yang sama, saya mengatakan ini karena kadang-kadang saya pergi ke wiki di Asturleones dan di sana saya ingat bahwa bahasa itu karena kata-katanya

As a Malaysian, I feel honoured

Japan's better

I have mixed feelings about this.

As a Malaysian, and naturally a native Malay speaker, there are times when I do feel a bit jealous towards the Indonesian language. Indonesian got far more international recognition, and many sites offer a Bahasa Indonesia option, but not Bahasa Malaysia/Melayu. In fact, just saying "Bahasa" alone, people generally meant referring to Indonesian. I actually made an entire journal entry before on DA, expressing all these frustrations due to my jealousy.

Many of my own comics were written in Malay, with English translation available for the benefit of my international readers. Because I wanted to show that the Malay language does exist, and we do speak it in our everyday lives.

For the longest time, I've been advocating for the idea that we should just accept both languages as nothing more than mere dialects of each other.

Well i do see in streotype you guys speak English more than origin

Also based from this image, i also Jealous Malaysia got recognition more to Westerner than Indonesian but it was like 3 years ago

As Indonesia and maybe this true a bit

Also i see many user like you or just my streotype i see guys really more way to Westerner than origin

i don't think we're pretending to be indo-european just for having a huge indo-european vocabulary, which is, very wajar since our former colonizers were IEans who spoke an IE language. If we're playing by that logic, then are M'sians also pretending to be Indo-Europeans for having lots of english loanwords?

On the other hand, i can kind of agree that my language (Indonesian) can be said as a dialect of Malay when it comes to its formal speech. After all, it was used as a lingua franca and/or trade language for centuries.
