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 Rockdale
Rockdale is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Rockdale is located 13 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the St George area. Rockdale is one of the administrative centres for the local government area of the Bayside Council.
Rockdale was known by Europeans as Frog Hollow, then White Gum Flat and later as West Botany. The name Rockdale was suggested in 1878 by the first postmistress, Mrs Mary Ann Geeves. The name for the district gained more credence when the local railway station on the new Illawarra rail line, opened on 15 October 1884, was also given the name Rockdale. The West Botany Municipality, declared on 13 January 1871 with two wards, West Botany and Arncliffe, was renamed "The Municipality of Rockdale" on 17 May 1888.
