Another spurious article about an Indonesian language. I'm afraid much of this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I wouldn't say that any regional language is regulated by Badan Bahasa (there's actually little support for these in Indonesia), but that's a minor nitpick. The dialects section is very questionable, looking like an amalgamation of random sources that happen to discuss (or mention) variation within the language. As it stands, this is better off removed or rewritten. Semmiii (talk) 17:56, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
