== The influence of English == 

 While the article says that many English words flooded into Indonesian from the 1970s, many of these words could well have been French-Dutch loanwords which were introduced before then - militer is probably from militair - Malay now uses militari, which is clearly from the English military.  

 Perhaps these words were from English, but Indonesianised, with words ending in -tion becoming words ending in -si, just as words ending in -ity became words ending in -itas. Words ending in -si tend to be Dutch rather than English loanwords, for example imigrasi in Indonesian is from Dutch immigratie whereas its Malay equivalent imigresen is from immigration, although Malay uses aksi (similar to Dutch actie). 

 There are instances of Malay adopting English words where Indonesian uses Arabic or Sanskrit ones - for example sains vs ilmu (although Indonesian now uses sains) and solar vs surya. While 'solar energy' in Malay can be either kuasa suria, tenaga suria or tenaga solar, Indonesian uses energi surya, which is similar to Dutch zonne-energie, literally 'sun energy'.
