@ganbold@sns1.hydranlab.com When I said "pure" is in the sense linguistic purism. You might've heard of Anglish, which is English with only Germanic-rooted words.

I'm trying to do the same for Bahasa Indonesia, by only using Austronesian derived words. By first using existing words in Indonesia/Melayu. If there isn't one I look into sister languages for an equivalent words, from the closest Malayo-Polynesian to the bigger Austronesian.

Actually, Bahasa is from Sanskrit ^1 and Indonesia from Dutch ^2
