It's actually an auxlang based on the multiple languages spoken then in
Indonesia (but with a strong input from Malay) and enforced through dictatorial
measures, proving that for an auxlang to be successful, you have to threaten
the ones who don't want to speak it to death (and someday some Esperantist will
read those words, and I'll end up responsible for the creation of the
Esperantist Jihad!).
