Indonesian is the native language for the people of the Malay Peninsula and Eastern Sumatra, and it is also called Malay. It is the official language in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei and also it is used in everyday life in Indochina and the Philippines. In total, the Malay language is native for ninety million people of these countries and spoken by 210 million people all around the world. The Indonesian language belongs to the Western sub-branch of the Malayo-Polynesian language group. The Malay language is similar by the sound and pronunciation to the Minangkabau language, which is wide-spread in the western and central part of Sumatra.

The simplified form of Malay was the international language for all countries of the Indonesian archipelago. In 1910, the Malay language was recognized by Minangkabau people as a literary language what gave rise to the rivalry between Indonesian and Dutch because the Dutch language was considered to be the language of intelligence. In 1956, the Malay language was recognized as the official language of the modern Malaysia and Brunei. In 1970, the governments of Indonesia and Malaysia began compiling the spelling dictionary and smoothing all the differences between these two languages.

The whole evolution stage of the Indonesian (Malay) language can be divided into three periods:

1. The Indian period: from 300 till 1200 A.D. 

2. The Muslim period: from 1100 till 1600.
