    • Sundanese (Basa Sunda, literally "language of Sunda") is the language of about 27 million people from the western third of Java or about 15% of the Indonesian population. It appears to be most closely related to Madurese and Malay, and more distantly related to Javanese. It has several dialects, conventionally described according to the locations of the people: Banten, Bogor, Priangan, and Cirebon.
    • The term Papuan languages refers to those languages of the western Pacific which are neither Austronesian nor Australian. That is, the term is defined negatively and does not presuppose a genetic relationship. The concept of Papuan peoples as distinct from Melanesians was first suggested and named by Sidney Herbert Ray in 1892.
    • Buginese (Basa Ugi, elsewhere also Bahasa Bugis, Bugis, Bugi, De) is the language spoken by about four million people mainly in the southern part of Sulawesi, Indonesia.

    • Gayo Language is the spoken language of about 180,000 people (1989) in the mountain region of North Sumatra around Takengon, Gayo Lues, Bener Meriah, Southeast Aceh, Genteng, and Lokop. It is classified as belonging to the Western Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian languages, but is not closely related to other languages. Gayo is distinguished with other languages in Aceh.
    • Madurese is a language of the Madurese people of Madura Island and eastern Java, Indonesia; it is also spoken on Kangean Islands and Sapudi Islands. The Kangean dialect may be a separate language. It was traditionally written in the Javanese script, but the Latin alphabet is now more commonly used. The number of speakers, though shrinking, is estimated to be 8-13 million. Links between Bali-Sasak languages and Madurese are more evident with the "low" form (common form).

    • The Minangkabau language is an Austronesian language, spoken by the Minangkabau-people of West Sumatra, in the western part of Riau and in several cities throughout Indonesia by migrated Minangkabau, who often trade or have a restaurant. It is also spoken in a part of Malaysia. Due to great grammatical similarities between the Minangkabau language and Malay, there is some controversy regarding the relationship between the two.
    • The Malay language, through its history has experienced both pidginization and creolization. This occurred mostly through inter-island trading and interaction where people from various ethnic groups, languages and backgrounds met. Malay, particularly in Eastern Indonesia, was brought by traders and missionaries, particularly during Dutch colonization over three centuries. As the result, for daily speaking, Malay has been blended with many European languages as well as local languages.
