| Just accept plain old "Malay" for Indonesian, Malaysian, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Malayo-Indonesian, etc., especially if you're taking Chinese for a whole family of rather different languages. And it's hard to see French overtaking Portuguese as a first language, considering how many Brazilians use Portuguese as a first language, not even counting people in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Timor, Macao and Goa/Damão/Diu. Perhaps the number of Francophones approaches the number of Lusophones, but I can't see leaving out the latter while keeping the former (60 million French plus maybe 7-10 million Canadians, a few million Swiss and Belgians, plus probably roughly as many colonials or ex-colonials in Africa, the Caribbean and Oceania speaking French first as there are non-Brazilian former Portuguese subjects who speak Portuguese as a first language.) |
