| Letters in the language of Bali |
Hello, Om Swastiastu.
Kenken kabare?
Every nation must have its own language, the language of
conversation and the national language or official languages used in the
country, there is even an official language for business and government, as
well as the language used in the in the united nations.
Singapore chose English as the official language for business
and government, though in Singapore we will meet people who speak Chinese,
Mandarin, Malay, Indonesian, and Indian languages. Just for information,
Indonesia is very fortunate, since October 28, 1928 has vowed to Indonesia
because the Indonesian language has hundreds of local languages and hundreds
of dialects. The decision was very wise and done before Indonesia's
independence in 1945.
If no such oath, you can imagine the chaos that would occur
in Indonesia, which has a lot of tribes, languages, dialects, local culture
and character are also different, even different religions. If you are in
Europe, there is a country to the present fuss and fight about the use of
language, the country is Belgium. The country is split into users Dutch and French,
and so many problems that occur. You also encounter similar problems in Canada,
namely the struggle for influence between English and French.

tropical paradise a dream of many people around the world.

the Hindu doctrine. The official language for business and government use
Indonesian course.
