It's actually an auxlang based on the multiple languages spoken then in Indonesia (but with a strong input from Malay) and enforced through dictatorial measures, proving that for an auxlang to be successful, you have to threaten the ones who don't want to speak it to death (and someday some Esperantist will read those words, and I'll end up responsible for the creation of the Esperantist Jihad!).
