Sumatra island is to the west end of Indonesia.At アチェ which is to the north of Sumatra,movement of independence which longs for an establishment of Islamic nation has developed.😃

At New Guinea island which is to the north of Indonesia,the people of Papua which commands about an half of its residents have rebelled against Indonesia.😱


At Moluccas which used to be prosperous with trade of spice,contention between Muslims イスラム教徒 and Christians continues so violent that it has caused no less than hundreds of casualties.💀

Therefore,when preparing for independence from America,a grave controversy for the language of its country was unavoidable.😃

There used to be a proposal of some languages in a group of Philippine islands coming together,it meant a new language,but after all,they adopted the Philippine language of which mother body is Tagalog.😚
