700 languages are completely different. We use Bahasa Indonesia to communicate with other ethnic group. But with different language, culture, religion, tradition and so on, we are known as a tolerence people and we are very proud of our country. You can watch many video about indonesia from foreigner's perspectives. Mindblowing. ❤
For those who want to pursue this rabbithole and don't (yet) know where to find the door - w1k1p3dia has a wonderful article titled "Languages of Indonesia". Ethnologue and Omniglot are other good resources. While these 700+ languages _are_ separate languages (i.e., mutually unintelligible), most of them _are_ in the Malayo-Polynesian language family and therefore share some characteristics (roughly to the same degree that English and Hindi share characteristics, both being in the Indo-European language family). The great majority of the population speaks a language from this family. The next big concentration of languages (by number of languages) happens in Western New Guinea, where more than a hundred non-Malayo-Polynesian languages are spoken ([New Guinea] "is presently populated by almost a thousand different tribal groups and a near-equivalent number of separate languages, which makes New Guinea the most linguistically diverse area in the world."
The local languages can be extremely different, not just slightly different dialect, but actually different languages. For example, both my mom and my dad are from the same province in Sumatra. Their hometowns are only three-hour driving away. Yet, they don't understand each other when they speak in their local language, like at all.
Well someone might have explained it in much detail. As someone who have lived in indonesia for few years (mainly bali) and traveled to a bunch of places all over indonesia, I can say that the easiest way to imagine how diverse is the languages in indonesia is basically imagine it like how diverse the europe is. Like neighboring places can have similarities like how portuguese and spanish / german and dutch for example. Or completely different language. So imagine europe but way more diverse and complicated. Hence the reason most of indonesian were trilingual. 1st is local language 2nd is indonesian 3rd is english And sometimes depends on their parents's origins, they can learn different local languages (even javanese language itself is very different when compared to east, central and west part of java) or foreign languages (such as chinese, dutch, etcs) Even i myself got dumbfounded after finding out my javanese and some balinese i learned is practically useless when i go to the other main island. Even the indonesian language itself is barely usable (the formal ones) because the people always mixes their local language with their indonesian. Think of it like how filipinos mixes english with their tagalog. Thats how confusing it is lol. Hope you didnt get overwhelmed by this wall of text and learned more about this country ദ്ദി ˃ ᵕ ˂ )
Not overwhelmed at all - thank you! It's very insightful and I'm thankful you took the time to type all of that out! I have a hard enough time with English, so I can't imagine the complexity over there!
Well at least after 200km you'll got different language, for example if you start from the west to the east the differences are more and more bigger until it's different very much.
4:11 The island is divided into two regions, the western part being the territory of Indonesia and the eastern part being the country of Papua New Guinea. On this island, which is shaped like a bird of paradise, lies the highest mountain in Indonesia, namely Puncak Jaya (4,884 m). For the Indonesian region, the indigenous Papuan population is referred to as Orang Asli Papua, which consists of various ethnic groups spread across all districts and cities.
21:17 Most of them are very different, between one regional language and another regional language. But we have a language that unites the languages of all ethnic groups in Indonesia, namely BAHASA INDONESIA.
About the 700 language maybe you can imagine it as a europe the continent, how diferent is a france and russia thats how different every province in indonesia including the language and culture
18:15 indonesia declare its independence in 1945, and then 1945-1949 (4 years) war of independence againts the dutch, until the dutch recognize indonesian independence in 1949. before 1945 indonesia is under japanese and dutch colonization.
(as usual, someone who actually knows what they're talking about will have better information, but I haven't seen it posted here yet, so I thought I might as well post something) Gamelan music is its own extensive, wonderful and well-furnished rabbithole. Here are some videos I've seen and like that can give you a good overview: "Indonesian gamelan medley from Java, Sunda and Bali" (Aurél Holló channel - AurelHollo). 3rd comment has an index. The Sundanese part starts at 2:53. You will mostly find Balinese gamelan music on yt - I don't know if it predominates in Indonesia, but it seems to be the kind most commonly heard in the West (Europe and America). "Balinese Gamelan Music on Microtonal Guitar - Chris Charles" (Microtonal Guitar - Tolgahan Çoğulu channel - microtonalguitar). As I've commented elsewhere, Marsya and Widi are confined to a Western scale by their instruments. This video shows what a fretboard would have to look like to play a Balinese scale. It doesn't entirely make sense to do that on a guitar, though (more on this later). Marsya is free to sing in one of the Sundanese scales and I wonder if she does that in the Sundanese passage in Mighty Island (does anyone know if this is the case?) "Bali's Amazing, Interlocking Gamelan Music - feat. Nata Swara & KOBRA" (Augustine Esterhammer-Fic channel - esterhammerfic). This is an amazing analysis, breakdown, explanation and animation of gamelan music. The guy said he spent a year putting the video together. Clearly a labor of love. "Tuning of Gamelan and Sensory Dissonance" (New Tonality channel - new_tonality). This explains two of the scales used in gamelan music, how they differ from the modern Western 12 tone equal-tempered scale and offers a theory of why they are the way they are (the guy in the video believes it relates to the overtone content of gamelan instruments - this is why I said that playing gamelan music on a guitar didn't necessarily make sense). Nice graphics and the explanation is a little technical, but I think most people who know a little about Western music should be able to follow it.
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I had a Gamelan video queued up to react to, but I may take a look at the above first to make sure I understand what I'm getting in to!
Just my 50 cent being an Indonesian who travel quite a lot in my own country: 9:30 don't put or mention them being in the same frame with us. we simply don't like them, and vice versa. 12:00 it's an illustration, or happened somewhere else, not Aceh. I was still in uni and volunteered a week after the tsunami there, and you have no idea how it felt to evacuates bags of bodies, approx 200k casualties. 13:20 humidity is crazy during wet season, since during dry season we often receive, i dunno what's it called, cold wind (??) from neighboring Australia. But all in all, first few days here you'll melt. 16:15 conversions are uncommon, religions are inheritance 18:00 before declaration of independence in 1945, indonesia consists of many many kingdoms and sultanates. Post declaration until fully recognised in 1949, we fought the dutch as a nation. though before 1945, the founders already long prepared the idea. 21:15 depends of the area. One province could use the same language but different dialects from its neighboring province, yet, a city could have totally different language from the neighboring city. Not to mention, some areas even have the mix between two languages and created a new language and dialects. To sum it up, know Bahasa Indonesia (bahasa=language), respect other cultures and religions, and you're golden.
Thanks for all of that info, and I can't even imagine the post-tsunami scene in Aceh. I'll try not to mention or show the country-that-must-not-be-named again!
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Indonesia and Malaysia thing is just Internet hate lol. In real life they are our lost brother inherited a lot of similar cultures and languages to us
for the languages, im Manadonese which located in Norht Sulawesi (Celebes) and we had 9 ethnic groups, and im a Minahasa Tribe. my friends from other provinces at first doesn't understand when they hear Manadonese talking to each other but time flies they now like 60-70% understand our language just for like daily conversations, even tho they understand it but they still couldn't speak with my language, they did try to speak in my language but i can tell clearly they doesn't sounds like native speaker i mean their accent and the tone are quite different. but even we're Indonesian are very difference to each other, im very proud being Indonesian, and still shocked me everytime i hear my friends from other provinces speak their language which is awesome and made me a bit in tears that how amazing my country is with it diversity. i've never realize it until i started working abroad and meeting other friends from other provinces.
Indonesian people are very unique... For your information, Indonesian people do not like the American Government because of past history but do not hate American society. Do not worry brother.. If you visit Indonesia you will be welcomed well. although not liking the American government, but Indonesian people still practice polite culture, respect guests and serve them, like to help others and friendly. You will feel safe and comfortable if you visit Indonesia. And also do not let you fall in love with Indonesia, you will be reluctant to return to your country. 😂
12:03...its a movie picture,not as high as that. In reality the water more moving faster and takes a long bout the time,so the water covered wider on land.the water reach the town in around 9 or 10 Am ,so it takes time,luckily every one already wake up.I was there in 2nd day be a volunteer represent the company where i am work in bali.See ya..🙏🙏
Indonesia is ranked fourth (not fourteenth) as the most populous country in the world with 283,487,931 people. This number has increased compared to 2023 with 281,190,067 people. Of this number, it is estimated that one baby is born every 7 seconds, which when accumulated equals 12,234 babies born every day.
18:20 to answer your question here, If i get my history lesson right(I'm Indonesian), the Indonesian youth had been building some kind of movement way before 1945. They had conference and stuff too back then. These students were the rallying cry for independence and unity. So you can say the people may still divided by some kind of regions based on the Dutch's government but they already fired up to be one nation. When WW2 ended those groups of youth picked Ir. Soekarno as president and hurried him up to announce our independence. That's why in OUR history, 17th of August 1945 is the day of independence. But you'll find in almost any Western sources with the 1949 as the year instead bcs the Dutch and the rest of Western power reluctant to admit the initial date.
This video is forgotten to talk about the Indonesian movement of Indonesian youth in early 1900. Youth movement from all over islands in Indonesia until 1928 agreed to unify and claim that this future nation would be named Indonesia. And soon after declaration of independence most of Sultanates and Kingdoms agreed to give their authority to the new government of Indonesia...😊
Some of this is covered by the w1k1p3dia article "Indonesian National Awakening" Marsya is constantly reading books about Indonesian history and politics (this comes up on IG). Her head must be full of this stuff. What gets condensed into the songs must be a tiny (but very concentrated:-) fraction of what she knows.
I think it's impossible just one video to tell the history of Indonesia in the past completely, the history of Indonesia is quite long because our civilization knows writing recorded in archaeological evidence began in the 4th AD. There were hundreds kingdoms rise and fall. Thousands of years ago it is very difficult to prove because it is only in the form of symbols on artifacts scattered in Indonesia. In addition, since the 4th century AD, the beginning of the emergence of kingdoms in this region (Now Indonesia). There were at least dozens of sultanates and kingdoms that were spread at this region on the same time, but they took turns because of wars and conquests too. Until the 15th AD, Western colonialists began to conquer part of the region by region, starting in sequence from Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and the longest was the Dutch who colonized 98% of the current territory of Indonesia, approximately 300 years, before the Nippon Empire / Japan invaded and seized most of the allied colonies, in East and Southeast Asia. But only 3.5 years occupying Indonesia then Japan lost the war against the allies in WW II when the USA bombed the two cities in Japan. Due to Japan's defeat and surrender to the allies without conditions on August 15, 1945, 2 days later there was a power vacuum in Indonesia and at that time the nationalist and political figures of Indonesia at that time proclaimed independence and 2 years later through the newly formed UN the government of the Republic of Indonesia lobbied to get recognition of independence from countries in the world even though from 1945-1949 there was a revolutionary war against the invasion and aggression of the Dutch backed by the British who invaded the Republic of Indonesia again to seize power over its former colonies. Yeah histories always interesting to learn. Many video about it in YT.
If you live on one of the 5 big islands, you might be able to understand the language of the county near you. Once you've moved state it's almost impossible to understand. Meanwhile, if you live on a small island, if you move to an island that is only 1km away, the language is very different.
@DadDaughtersandDrinks To answer your question, Malaysia is not an archipelago by any stretch of the imagination (or by official international laws), except according to some Malay supremacists in Malaysia who are still stuck in a time warp created by European colonialists (i.e. the Brits). According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 (UNCLOS III), an archipelagic state is an island country that consists of one or more archipelago. The Bahamas, Fiji, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines are the five original sovereign states that obtained approval in the UNCLOS signed in Montego Bay, Jamaica on 10 December 1982 and qualified as the archipelagic states (an archipelagic state can designate the waters between the islands as sovereign archipelagic waters). When the Europeans began to colonise the present day Indonesian archipelago (historically known as Nusantara, ‘nusa’ + ‘antara’, literally meaning ‘islands between’ or ‘enclosing islands’, an ancient indigenous name for the Indonesian archipelago predating the arrival of the white men), they referred to it as the Malay archipelago - how dare they! - primarily because they were clueless about that part of the world. When the colonial powers met the locals who generally looked brown, they invented and then stuck to the term Malay race (Malay being probably the “most visible” ethnolinguistic group in the Malacca Strait, the busiest trading route in Southeast Asia, but originating from the time of the kingdom of Srivinaya or even ealier in the island of Sumatra in present day Indonesia) since they couldn’t fit the “Malays” in any major existing racial stereotypes then due to the fact that they were a product of a complex mixture of races (the concept of race is another colonial fantasy). In other words, the colonial powers falsely thought that only the Malays existed in Nusantara just because everyone looked brown to them! Indonesians who fought all out to liberate their country from colonial powers would take umbrage at the term ‘Malay archipelago’ because of the aforementioned explanation. The term also negates the fact that Indonesia has a very complex and diverse population in terms of ethnicities, languages, religions, traditions and cultures in the archipelago (and Malays are only one of 1,000 something of ethnic groups under the the nation of Indonesia). Therefore, Indonesians prefer using their ancestors’ name for the archipelago - Nusantara.
Yes. 700 languages are completely diferent. For example, I'm java ethnic, and VOB are sundanese. Even we are in the same island, if they speak in sundanese, I completely dont undersrtand. So, we speak in national language, Bahasa Indonesia.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinksyes, it's kind of combination from local language(Melayu Riau, Jawa, Papua, Sunda, etc), Dutch, Portugese, Persia, Arab, China, Sansekerta.
About the humidity ,it's all day everyday ,it's not like europe or any 4 seasons country who got that dry air during the summer or fall ,it is always humid 😂
Jika pada suatu saat, bangsa dan negara kami diserang atau dioerangi oleh negara asing, maka tidak hanya tentara-tentara saja yang berjuang mempertahankan kedaulatan bangsa dan negara, tetapi kami seluruh rakyat Indonesia akan turut mendukung tentara kami dan berjuang bersama-sama untuk mempertahankan kedaulatan bangsa dan negara kami. If at any time, our nation and country are attacked or waged war by a foreign country, then not only the soldiers will fight to defend the sovereignty of the nation and country, but all of us Indonesian people will support our soldiers and fight together to defend the sovereignty of our nation and country.
DO YOU KNOW INDONESIA ? Because Indonesia has many regional languages, on October 28, 1928, young people from all over Indonesia gathered and took an oath. This oath is known as the "SUMPAH PEMUDA" ("Youth Pledge") whose contents are: 1. One motherland, Indonesia. 2. One nation, the Indonesian Nation. 3. Upholding the Unity Language, Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). INFORMATION ABOUT INDONESIA (2022) The Indonesian nation has been colonized for more than 350 years by many foreign countries (Spain/Spanish, Portugal/Portuguesse, Netherlands/Dutch, England/British, Japan).

I'm surprised to be the first to say this but: Burgerkill "Killchestra" - An Elegy (Official Video) (overall, I'm not a Burgerkill fan, just not my type of music, but Killchestra - An Elegy really works for me)
You're not the first to request that song; a few others have over the last few months also. It's something I want to do with all my daughters together (we did one other Burgerkill song already, so I'd like to have them together for consistency), but it's been tough getting them all here. Maybe I'll just go ahead and do it myself :-)
Islam spread throughout the archipelago not because of coercion or conquest by colonial countries. Islam spread to Indonesia peacefully, not by coercion, not by betrayal and not by conquest. That is why many Indonesian people are friendly because Islamic teachings teach so. Likewise, Buddhism and Hinduism are not exactly the same as Buddhism in China, Korea, Thailand, Burma and Cambodia. Hinduism in Indonesia is not the same as Hinduism in India. This is very different from the spread of Christianity and Catholicism which were spread by coercion, by conquest and by war. The European colonizers, namely Spain, Portugal, England, the Netherlands and also Japan only wanted GOSPEL (spreading Christianity/Catholicism through war), GOLD (Indonesia's wealth) and GLORY (wanting victory). ☕ Kopi, Mana Kopi ☕ 👍🏻 Mantap 👍🏻

Hello MK and thanks for this! I'd recommend Putri Ariani if you're looking to expand your roster of Indonesian artists (start with her winning the Golden Buzzer on AGT). Supporters of VOB are called Baladceprot (meaning friends of...). As with any population subject to colonialism, the effects are crippling and disastrous to native culture and pride. Perhaps that's why Indonesia so very strongly supports its artists and athletes on social media, particularly when they are recognized internationally. And yes, the US supplied information, money and backing to Suharto, the Indonesian Army and death squads for the genocide, as documented in various declassified files from the CIA and US Embassy in Jakarta.

Indonesia is ranked fourth (not fourteenth) as the most populous country in the world with 283,487,931 people. This number has increased compared to 2023 with 281,190,067 people. Of this number, it is estimated that one baby is born every 7 seconds, which when accumulated equals 12,234 babies born every day.
A movie of Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid was about in Borneo
18:20 to answer your question here,
If i get my history lesson right(I'm Indonesian), the Indonesian youth had been building some kind of movement way before 1945. They had conference and stuff too back then. These students were the rallying cry for independence and unity. So you can say the people may still divided by some kind of regions based on the Dutch's government but they already fired up to be one nation.
When WW2 ended those groups of youth picked Ir. Soekarno as president and hurried him up to announce our independence. That's why in OUR history, 17th of August 1945 is the day of independence. But you'll find in almost any Western sources with the 1949 as the year instead bcs the Dutch and the rest of Western power reluctant to admit the initial date.
Ah, that's very interesting!
This video is forgotten to talk about the Indonesian movement of Indonesian youth in early 1900. Youth movement from all over islands in Indonesia until 1928 agreed to unify and claim that this future nation would be named Indonesia. And soon after declaration of independence most of Sultanates and Kingdoms agreed to give their authority to the new government of Indonesia...😊
That sounds really interesting - do you know if there are any other videos that talk about this? I'd love to learn more!
Some of this is covered by the w1k1p3dia article "Indonesian National Awakening"
Marsya is constantly reading books about Indonesian history and politics (this comes up on IG). Her head must be full of this stuff. What gets condensed into the songs must be a tiny (but very concentrated:-) fraction of what she knows.
I think it's impossible just one video to tell the history of Indonesia in the past completely, the history of Indonesia is quite long because our civilization knows writing recorded in archaeological evidence began in the 4th AD. There were hundreds kingdoms rise and fall. Thousands of years ago it is very difficult to prove because it is only in the form of symbols on artifacts scattered in Indonesia. In addition, since the 4th century AD, the beginning of the emergence of kingdoms in this region (Now Indonesia). There were at least dozens of sultanates and kingdoms that were spread at this region on the same time, but they took turns because of wars and conquests too. Until the 15th AD, Western colonialists began to conquer part of the region by region, starting in sequence from Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and the longest was the Dutch who colonized 98% of the current territory of Indonesia, approximately 300 years, before the Nippon Empire / Japan invaded and seized most of the allied colonies, in East and Southeast Asia. But only 3.5 years occupying Indonesia then Japan lost the war against the allies in WW II when the USA bombed the two cities in Japan. Due to Japan's defeat and surrender to the allies without conditions on August 15, 1945, 2 days later there was a power vacuum in Indonesia and at that time the nationalist and political figures of Indonesia at that time proclaimed independence and 2 years later through the newly formed UN the government of the Republic of Indonesia lobbied to get recognition of independence from countries in the world even though from 1945-1949 there was a revolutionary war against the invasion and aggression of the Dutch backed by the British who invaded the Republic of Indonesia again to seize power over its former colonies. Yeah histories always interesting to learn. Many video about it in YT.
a long time ago new guinea is part of indonesia dad.
Yes...half New Guinea [ west of ] belongs to Indonesia...
If you live on one of the 5 big islands, you might be able to understand the language of the county near you. Once you've moved state it's almost impossible to understand. Meanwhile, if you live on a small island, if you move to an island that is only 1km away, the language is very different.
700+ diferrent languages are really diferrent from one to another..!!
We're all still united even before the world wars....
@DadDaughtersandDrinks To answer your question, Malaysia is not an archipelago by any stretch of the imagination (or by official international laws), except according to some Malay supremacists in Malaysia who are still stuck in a time warp created by European colonialists (i.e. the Brits). According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 (UNCLOS III), an archipelagic state is an island country that consists of one or more archipelago. The Bahamas, Fiji, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines are the five original sovereign states that obtained approval in the UNCLOS signed in Montego Bay, Jamaica on 10 December 1982 and qualified as the archipelagic states (an archipelagic state can designate the waters between the islands as sovereign archipelagic waters).
When the Europeans began to colonise the present day Indonesian archipelago (historically known as Nusantara, ‘nusa’ + ‘antara’, literally meaning ‘islands between’ or ‘enclosing islands’, an ancient indigenous name for the Indonesian archipelago predating the arrival of the white men), they referred to it as the Malay archipelago - how dare they! - primarily because they were clueless about that part of the world.
When the colonial powers met the locals who generally looked brown, they invented and then stuck to the term Malay race (Malay being probably the “most visible” ethnolinguistic group in the Malacca Strait, the busiest trading route in Southeast Asia, but originating from the time of the kingdom of Srivinaya or even ealier in the island of Sumatra in present day Indonesia) since they couldn’t fit the “Malays” in any major existing racial stereotypes then due to the fact that they were a product of a complex mixture of races (the concept of race is another colonial fantasy). In other words, the colonial powers falsely thought that only the Malays existed in Nusantara just because everyone looked brown to them!
Indonesians who fought all out to liberate their country from colonial powers would take umbrage at the term ‘Malay archipelago’ because of the aforementioned explanation. The term also negates the fact that Indonesia has a very complex and diverse population in terms of ethnicities, languages, religions, traditions and cultures in the archipelago (and Malays are only one of 1,000 something of ethnic groups under the the nation of Indonesia). Therefore, Indonesians prefer using their ancestors’ name for the archipelago - Nusantara.
Man, super good info! Thank you very much for typing all that out!
gayo coffee from aceh is the famous coffee from indonesia, aceh located in sumatra island dad.
Yes. 700 languages are completely diferent. For example, I'm java ethnic, and VOB are sundanese. Even we are in the same island, if they speak in sundanese, I completely dont undersrtand. So, we speak in national language, Bahasa Indonesia.
That's really interesting! Is Bahasa Indonesia completely different from all of the other languages, or is it kind of a combination of many of them?
Bahasa Indonesia is like Melayu language, that use in east part of Sumatra

About the humidity ,it's all day everyday ,it's not like europe or any 4 seasons country who got that dry air during the summer or fall ,it is always humid 😂
I'm a fan of humidity sometimes, but not all the time. Closest thing to year-round humidity where I live is Houston, TX!
Jika pada suatu saat, bangsa dan negara kami diserang atau dioerangi oleh negara asing, maka tidak hanya tentara-tentara saja yang berjuang mempertahankan kedaulatan bangsa dan negara, tetapi kami seluruh rakyat Indonesia akan turut mendukung tentara kami dan berjuang bersama-sama untuk mempertahankan kedaulatan bangsa dan negara kami.
If at any time, our nation and country are attacked or waged war by a foreign country, then not only the soldiers will fight to defend the sovereignty of the nation and country, but all of us Indonesian people will support our soldiers and fight together to defend the sovereignty of our nation and country.
I think that is the way it should be, although I hope it never comes to that (for any country)
If we have dry season.no mather.we have water and land have fertile land from volcano for vegetable+tropical fruit.

I'm surprised to be the first to say this but: Burgerkill "Killchestra" - An Elegy (Official Video)
(overall, I'm not a Burgerkill fan, just not my type of music, but Killchestra - An Elegy really works for me)
You're not the first to request that song; a few others have over the last few months also. It's something I want to do with all my daughters together (we did one other Burgerkill song already, so I'd like to have them together for consistency), but it's been tough getting them all here. Maybe I'll just go ahead and do it myself :-)
Islam spread throughout the archipelago not because of coercion or conquest by colonial countries. Islam spread to Indonesia peacefully, not by coercion, not by betrayal and not by conquest. That is why many Indonesian people are friendly because Islamic teachings teach so. Likewise, Buddhism and Hinduism are not exactly the same as Buddhism in China, Korea, Thailand, Burma and Cambodia. Hinduism in Indonesia is not the same as Hinduism in India. This is very different from the spread of Christianity and Catholicism which were spread by coercion, by conquest and by war. The European colonizers, namely Spain, Portugal, England, the Netherlands and also Japan only wanted GOSPEL (spreading Christianity/Catholicism through war), GOLD (Indonesia's wealth) and GLORY (wanting victory).

Hello MK and thanks for this! I'd recommend Putri Ariani if you're looking to expand your roster of Indonesian artists (start with her winning the Golden Buzzer on AGT). Supporters of VOB are called Baladceprot (meaning friends of...). As with any population subject to colonialism, the effects are crippling and disastrous to native culture and pride. Perhaps that's why Indonesia so very strongly supports its artists and athletes on social media, particularly when they are recognized internationally. And yes, the US supplied information, money and backing to Suharto, the Indonesian Army and death squads for the genocide, as documented in various declassified files from the CIA and US Embassy in Jakarta.
Thanks for the info, and... sigh, yeah. No surprise unfortunately.
