Names of Indonesia
Indonesia is the common and official name to refer the Republic of Indonesia or Indonesian archipelago; however, other names, such as Nusantara and East Indies are also known. Some of these names are considered obsolete and confined only on certain period of history, while some might be more geographically specific or general.
== History ==
On identifying geographical names of their lands, the Indonesian natives seldom transcend their traditional boundaries, which is relatively small confined in their tribal environs. There are around 300 distinct native ethnic groups in Indonesia, and 742 different languages and dialects, which add to the complexity and unconformity on the naming of the region. The notions to identify the whole archipelagic region that today forming Indonesia was unknown then. Geographical names usually applied to individual islands, such as Java, one of the earliest identified island in the Indonesian archipelago. It was foreign traders and explorers from India, China, Middle East, and Europe that finally identify the names of this archipelagic region.
