Suharto reluctantly agreed to a wider-reaching IMF package of structural reforms in January 1998 in exchange for $ 43 billion in liquidity (with a third letter of intent with the IMF being signed in April of that year). However, the rupiah dropped to

Compared to the indigenous dialects of Malay spoken in Sumatra and Malay peninsula or the normative Malaysian standard, the Indonesian language differs profoundly by a large number of Javanese loanwords incorporated into its already-rich vocabulary.

In 1993, under President Bill Clinton ,

14342-430: The national language, with varying degrees of proficiency. In a nation that is home to more than 700 native languages and a vast array of ethnic groups, it plays an important unifying and cross-archipelagic role for the country.

15336-436: The proximity of spoken Indonesian (in terms of grammar and vocabulary) to its normative form is noticeably low. This is mostly due to Indonesians combining aspects of their own local languages (e.g., Javanese , Sundanese , and Balinese ) with Indonesian.
