Kesamaan Antara Bahasa Indonesia dengan Malayalam

Apa itu Malayalam dan Bahasa Indonesia?: 

Malayalam itself is one of the four major Dravidian languages of southern India. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India with official language status in the state of Kerala (from Wikipedia) . I read that Hindi is the official language of Indian Union (in other articles, stated there’s no national language in India). English is added for official work. Me Indonesian, see it as Indonesia with National Language and many local languages.

Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is the official language of Indonesia. Indonesian is a normative form of the Riau Islands dialect of Malay, an Austronesian language which has been used as a lingua franca in the Indonesian archipelago for centuries. The Indonesian name for the language is Bahasa Indonesia (literally “the language of Indonesia”). This term can sometimes still be found in written or spoken English In addition, the language is sometimes referred to as “Bahasa” by English speakers, though this simply means “language” and thus does not technically specify the Indonesian language. (from Wikipedia).
