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 Waterloo
Waterloo is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Waterloo is located 4 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney. Waterloo took its name from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when Allied and Prussian forces under the Duke of Wellington and Blücher defeated the French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte.
In the 1820s Waterloo began supporting industrial operations including the Fisher and Duncan Paper Mill and the Waterloo Flour Mills owned by William Hutchinson and Daniel Cooper. William Hutchinson, superindendent of convicts and public works, had been granted 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) of land in 1823. He sold Waterloo Farm to Daniel Cooper (1785-1853) and Solomon Levey (1794-1833). Cooper later bought out Levey's share and on his death the Waterloo Estate passed onto his son, also named Daniel Cooper, who was the first speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.
