Indonesian language or often called as Bahasa Indonesia is a language spoken by approximately 240 million native speakers in the Republic of Indonesia itself. Bahasa Indonesia is a national language uniting the uniqueness of various tribes in thousands of islands in Indonesia. It’s a national language that has a long history back to the Sumpah Pemuda (Youth Declaration) 28 October 1928 as one of the recoqnized three pillars nation-building. Nowadays in practical context, most of Indonesian speaks Bahasa (acronym for Bahasa Indonesia), only Indonesian live in few rural areas that may not speak Indonesian and use local languages instead. This can be challenging if you are an adventurous type that love to visit distant exotic regions. On big cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Jogjakarta, Surabaya, Medan, even to Makassar, using Bahasa as a foreigner may be a little tricky. The key is, if you are aiming to establish ‘au naturel’ communication with Indonesian, is to use “communicative” Bahasa everytime you engage them in direct less-formal communication.

While much scholarship has been devoted to the interplay between language, identity and social relationships, we know less about how this plays out interactionally in diverse transient settings. Based on research in Indonesia, this book examines how talk plays an important role in mediating social relations in two urban spaces where linguistic and cultural diversity is the norm and where distinctions between newcomers and old timers changes regularly. How do people who do not share expectations about how they should behave build new expectations through participating in conversation? Starting from a view of language-society dynamics as enregisterment, Zane Goebel uses interactional sociolinguistics and the ethnography of communication to explore how language is used in this contact setting to build and present identities, expectations and social relations. It will be welcomed by researchers and students working in the fields of linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, the anthropology of migration and Asian studies.
