Hello Mr Okopnik :)

> [Mulyadi Santosa]
> Melayu

Actually, bahasa Indonesia is a "subset" of Melayu. Indonesian itself is 
composed from many different regional language such as Javanese, 
Betawi, Balinese, maduranese and so on. Besides that, we adopt foreign 
language such as Arabian, English, Indian , Netherlands (possibly many 
more).

So for example, if I met Malaysian and she/he talks using Melayu, there 
is a chance she/he uses some words that I don't understand, or vice 
versa. But for common words such as "makan", "tidur", "bekerja" etc, we 
are all agree about that :)
