The Indonesian Language
- Indonesian is natively known as Bahasa Indonesia and belongs to the Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Malay language family.
- There are approximately 43 million native, 200 million total worldwide.
- Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) was chosen as the national language of Indonesia at independence in 1945, despite being the native language of only a small fraction of the population, to unite the archipelago's hundreds of ethnic groups.
- Indonesian is based on Riau Malay and is closely related to Malaysian Malay; the two are largely mutually intelligible, though they have diverged in vocabulary and spelling conventions.
- Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country with over 270 million people and more than 700 living languages, making Indonesian essential as a lingua franca.
- The language adopted the Latin alphabet during Dutch colonial rule, replacing earlier use of Arabic script (Jawi) and various indigenous scripts.
- Indonesian grammar is relatively simple, with no grammatical gender, no verb conjugation for tense, and no articles, making it one of the easier Asian languages for English speakers to learn.
- Indonesia is Australia's closest large neighbour, and the relationship is of significant strategic and economic importance. The Indonesian-born community in Australia numbers around 85,000, concentrated in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. Many Indonesians in Australia are students, with Indonesia being a major source of international students. Indonesian is one of the most commonly taught Asian languages in Australian schools.
About Blacktown
Blacktown is a suburb in the City of Blacktown, in Western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Blacktown is located 34 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre of the local government area of City of Blacktown. Blacktown is the largest of any suburb or township in New South Wales and is one of the most multicultural places in Sydney.
Prior to the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Blacktown was inhabited by different groups of the Darug people including the Warmuli, based around what is now Prospect, and their neighbours the Gomerigal from the South Creek area and the Wawarawarry from the Eastern Creek area. It is estimated that fifty to ninety percent of the Darug died of smallpox and other introduced diseases within a few years of the British arrival.
Governor Arthur Phillip began granting land in the area to white settlers in 1791, a process that was reversed slightly in 1819 when Governor Lachlan Macquarie granted land to two indigenous men, Colebee and Nurragingy. A few years later in 1823, the Native Institution (a school for Aboriginal children) was moved from Parramatta to the site where Richmond Road meets Rooty Hill Road North (this intersection is now in the suburbs of Oakhurst and Dean Park). Although the institution closed in 1833, the road heading out to it became known as the Black Town Road. In 1860 the Railway Department gave the name of Black Town Road Station to the railway station at the junction of the railway and the Black Town Road, with the name shortening to Blacktown by 1862.
