What IF: our national language is English at the first time?

[Patchouli]

according to the title, how do you think it will work in our country at the first time?

so it's not Melayu after all...

[depr_ros]

It seems very difficult to implement in our country, not to mention the language English in my town every day people just use local languages instead of Indonesia, I suppose that u took that time for u

[MusicalMagic]

Well, if Indonesia used English as their primary language, I guess they'll use english instead of Bahasa. Education is one of many factors (schools, course, etc).

Then we will hear ENGRISH everywhere. period.

[calvinutomo]

False. If English are our really first primary language, it would be easy for us to study and understand; such as how you learn your first language which is Indonesian Language, Melayu, Chinese or else.

if our national language is english.. that would means in the old time we were invaded by brittanian (english people u may say)...

just imagine.... u will no longer born as an indonesian... but as an english people...

and indonesia would become the second USA in the world... since we consist of people from many different culture and race

Sorry I don't quite understand your question. Please CMIIW; basically you're saying, IF the government make English official tomorrow, how will the people react? Well I don't think that's possible since even people here who post in the so-called English forum make mistakes 95% of the time. If it's really implemented, we will have the tendency to make our own English (like Singlish) with our own awkward and incorrect grammars (and pronunciation and spelling and vocabulary and ....).
