Overview
Indonesian is spoken by over 230 million people throughout the Indonesian archipelago and is the official language of government, education, business and the media. It has been and continues to be shaped by other languages (for example, in terms of lexicon, grammatical structures and idiomatic usage), most significantly Javanese, Dutch, Arabic and English. Colloquial forms of Indonesian, such as
bahasa sehari-hari and bahasa gaul, are used for informal daily interactions.
Indonesian is written using the Roman alphabet, and there is a clear correlation and a degree of consistency between its sound and its written form. Please refer to
Learning in Indonesian for further information.
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 Indonesian has two interrelated strands, Communicating and Understanding, which are further divided into sub-strands. The Indonesian curriculum recognises that there are different entry points into language learning across F–10, which reflects current language teaching practice.
There are two possible learning sequences:
- F–10 sequence for students who begin to learn the language in primary school and continue to Year 10.
- 7–10 sequence for students who begin to learn the language in Year 7.
The Languages curriculum on the Victorian Curriculum F–10 website can be viewed

frequently asked questions for Languages.
