Does anybody think as I do that often the distinction between Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu (or Malaysia) is more about politics than linguistics? To what extent is it the opposition (from polemicists and nationalists) to the notion that Malaysia and Indonesia have an enormous amount of culture in common that keeps the 2 "languages" separate? Clearly there have always been problems in the Indonesian-Malaysia bilateral relationship. Not that I have any research to prove my point, but it seems to me that one of the barriers to a correct umbrella term for the language spoken in Malaysia and Indonesia is the opposition such a term would find from certain quarters in both countries. Not from linguists but from anti-Malaysian Indonesians and vice versa. Wikipedia is a good case-study. There is a Malaysian Wikipedia and an Indonesian Wikipedia both of which seem to use very similar language. Why is it not one unified Wikimedia? Because, I suspect, no self respecting Malaysian would contribute to the Indonesian Wikipedia and vice versa. Ryan
