Oops! Apologies to all the Dutch speakers on the list. There's quite a lot of Dutch in Indonesian (e.g. rekening 'calculation'), and the 'general European' neo-Classical vocabulary seems to be transmitted via Dutch rather than English in many cases (matematika < mathematica).

It's Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). There is as much IE-derived vocabulary in it as there are English or neo-Classical loans (e.g. fasilitas 'facility, facilities') and Indic words (e.g. sama 'same, identical, even').
