In linguistic classification, Indonesian belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian language family. Indonesian is derived from Malay in northeastern Sumatra, and is a regional variant of that language with more than 80% homology to Standard Malay.The spelling of Indonesian and Malay was quite different before 1972, due to the fact that the Indonesian spelling system was invented by the Dutch before 1972, while the Malay spelling system was developed by the British.

In order to harmonize the written Indonesian and Malay, the Indonesian government introduced the Ejaan Yang Disempurnakan in 1972, which is an accurate phonetic system based on the Malay spelling system, so that the current spelling of Indonesian is very close to that of Malay. Both Malay and Indonesian use the Latin alphabet, which is a single-byte script. Compared to Western European languages, Indonesian has a very simple grammar.
