Indonesia is a country with a variety of regional languages that characterize the nation. Every region in Indonesia has its local language and with its dialect and is characteristic of the region. Regional languages have become a long-established identity. Unknowingly, Indonesia is experiencing an increasingly rapid cultural change in which young generations are already in a condition where many require them not to use their local language.

of
