The book starts with the earliest known traces of Malay, taking into account the political and societal changes, and explains how these changes influenced the Malay languages, and how Indonesian came into being. It doesn't stop here, it also talks about the evolution of Indonesian itself in modern times, which influences have been growing or dwindling, and how Indonesians themselves have a changing view of the official Indonesian (what it should be like, and how broadly it is used in one's life).

The author takes into account a lot of influences from other languages, especially Sanskrit, Arabic, Portuguese, Dutch and English. With clear examples of the use of these loanwords, and which ethnical groups prefer which loanwords.

The writing style is convincing, clear and and easy to read. I completed the book pretty quickly. I found it very comprehensive and superinteresting, and I absolutely advise anyone interesting in the Indonesian language to read this book!
