The Indonesian Wikipedia is the edition of Wikipedia in the Indonesian language. The Indonesian Wikipedia is the fifth fastest-growing Wikipedia in an Asian language after Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Turkish language Wikipedias. Its first article was written on May 30, 2003,〔 (Electron History Page in Bahasa Indonesia )〕〔 (Tokoh Indonesia: Revo AGS: Indonesian Wikipedia Contributor )〕 yet its Main Page was created six months later on November 29, 2003.〔 (Wikipedia Bahasa Indonesia Main Page history )〕 As of May 2014, there are over 350,000 articles in the Indonesian Wikipedia. ==Background== Although the Indonesian language is similar to the Malay language, the Indonesian Wikipedia remains separate from the Malay Wikipedia〔Lih, p. 136.〕 (initiated on October 2002).〔 〕 The Indonesian and Malay Wikipedias were started separately by two different user groups within six months of each other. In 2009, Andrew Lih wrote "Because these groups are drawn on national boundaries, merging is not likely to happen soon."〔 Indonesian is a normative form of the Malay language, an Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) language which had been used as a lingua franca in the Indonesian archipelago for centuries, and was elevated to the status of an official language with the Indonesian Declaration of Independence in 1945, drawing inspiration from the Sumpah Pemuda (Youth's Oath) event in 1928. It is very similar to the official Malaysian form of the language. However, it does differ from the Malaysian form in some ways, with key differences in pronunciation and vocabulary, due in large part to the many Dutch words in the Indonesian vocabulary. It is spoken as a mother tongue by only 7% of the population of Indonesia, but altogether more than 200 million people speak it.〔(Axis translations: Indonesian language )〕 The Malay language is spoken by ethnic groups who reside in the Malay Peninsula, southern Thailand, parts of the Philippines, and Singapore. Malay is also considered one of the dialects of the Indonesian language by Indonesians living in central eastern Sumatra, the Riau Islands and parts of the coast of Borneo.〔(Ethnologue report for Netherlands )〕 The Indonesian Wikipedia has more articles on the administrative regions in Indonesia than any other of Wikipedia's languages.〔Indonesian Wikipedia〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indonesian Wikipedia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
