THE INDONESIAN LANGUAGE
Indonesian or Bahasa Indonesia, based on the Riau version of Malay language, was declared the official language with the declaration of Indonesia's independence in 1945, following the 1928 "unifying language" declaration in the Indonesian Youth Pledge.
With fluency approaching 100% among the quarter billion inhabitants of the world's fourth most populous nation, Bahasa Indonesia has become one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE
Italian (italiano or lingua italiana) is a Romance language spoken by about 63 million people, primarily in Italy. In Switzerland, Italian is one of four official languages. It is also the official language of San Marino and is widely spoken in Vatican City, although Latin is the official language. Standard Italian, adopted by the state after the unification of Italy, is based on Tuscan and is somewhat intermediate between Italo-Dalmatian languages of the South and Northern Italian dialects of the North.
THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE
Japanese (日本語 Nihongo) is a language spoken by over 140 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities around the world. It is related to the Ryukyuan languages, but there is no widely accepted evidence of a relationship with any other languages. It is an agglutinative language and is distinguished by a complex system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms and particular vocabulary to indicate the relative status of speaker and listener.
THE KOREAN LANGUAGE
Korean (한국어/조선말) is the official language of both North Korea and South Korea and one of the ten most spoken languages in the world. It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China. There are about 80 million Korean speakers, with large groups in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, the United States, CIS (post-Soviet states), and more recently the Philippines.

Some interesting language facts
• Researchers at the MIT in America have concluded after lengthy study that in actual fact shouting louder does enhance the understanding process which obviously explains why we raise our voices when we wish "a foreigner" to understand us when we speak, or rather, shout at them in English.
• There are more than 5000 languages today however it is said that there will only be 2000 by the next decade. A recent survey showed that currently at least one language dies every two weeks.
• At present over 80% of the population speak under 8% of the world's languages.
• English is the most widely used official language with 1,750 million speakers worldwide. Chinese, Hindi and Spanish are second, third and fourth respectively. The debate as to the world's rarest language is highly contentious. However, as a contender Cornish must be in the reckoning with little more than 10 known fluent speakers.
• In an historic meeting in the USA, in the eighteenth century the senators of the then existent states of America gathered to vote on whether English or German be the national language of the country. The resolution to go for English was carried by one vote!
Spanish is now the foremost language in parts of Florida, and many public notices including road signs are printed in both English and Spanish. Recently the people of Florida were asked to vote on whether Spanish should be adopted as the language of the state. English won, being carried by a comfortable majority.
