Proud of Bahasa Indonesia<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
As Indonesian citizens we are proud of our national language
\ni.e. Bahasa Indonesia.<\/p>\n
But we are witnessing a crisis in the use of Bahasa Indonesia.
\nFor example, some people like to mix Bahasa Indonesia with a
\nforeign language. Why they do this is not clear. Maybe their
\nspeech sounds modern or westernized. To my mind, if you want to
\ncommunicate in English, for instance, you must use it correctly.
\nThe same is true for Bahasa Indonesia. Do not mix it with other
\nlanguages. This is also the case with local dialects.
\nCommunicating in Indonesian and mixing in the vocabulary of local
\ndialects.<\/p>\n
It is irritating to hear people speaking their own dialect
\nduring a meeting which is being attended by people of different
\nethnic groups who speak different dialects besides the common
\nnational language of Indonesian. Why don't they stick to using
\nonly Bahasa Indonesia -- our national language -- to communicate
\nwith each other in public meetings to avoid suspicion.<\/p>\n
