HI Gary,
you commented on the apparent drive for Indonesian - I think that goes in waves in my experience. ABout 30 - 40 years ago I think it was huge and it's popularity seems to wax and wane. It is one of the easier Asian languages - no script, no tones and relatively simple grammar eg no tenses and forming plural by saying the noun tiwce.
In the school I have been in for 15 years it is the least popular of 6 languages!
Chinese for example is popular, but often because of fmaily background and it has enjoyed a "push" by the givt. But from what I understand it is a VERY challenging language in many ways...
just some thoughts.
