anguage, by itself cannot be beautiful or more/less expressive by itself. Language is just a set of words and rules used by people. Language becomes beautiful through the creative use of it.

Those versed in the works of Shakespeare or Pushkin can understand. Language becomes beautiful and expressive in the hands of the masters.

Please do not try to measure the power and beauty of languages from the communications of two motorcycle drivers on a street. It is a completely different matter.

Javanese, the most spoken language in Indonesia, is one of the top 20 most spoken languages in the world, with the 35-40 percent of Indonesians that speak it assisting in its spread and usage.

Unfortunately, investigating the issue around Java, I can say that many have forgotten the alphabet and original characters of it.

Bahasa Indonesia is also comfortable in the top 20 world languages spoken by native speakers. Thus, saying that any of these top 20 languages will disappear or are influenced by globalization '€” does not make any sense.

The flip side here is that if you continue to mix English with Indonesian it will evolve.

In the Philippines they mix Tagalog with English without any confusion.

Language is dynamic it is constantly, and naturally, modified by its speakers. This is the natural evolution of language. The government can artificially influence this process but cannot control the important keepers of language: writers and poets.

I can only advise to collect your materials first and then express your opinion to the public.
