Bahasa Indonesia is written with the Latin alphabet, and the lexicon is rich with borrowed vocabulary from many languages such as Sanskrit, Arabic, Portuguese, Dutch, and Chinese.
Mastery of the language opens opportunities for students to enjoy literary works by the world-class prose author Pramoedya Ananta Toer as well as by post-Suharto writers such as Ayu Utami. It also will also allow students who study Indonesia through history, anthropology, comparative literature, or other fields to deepen their understanding and expand the scope of their studies.
