The only country that speak bahasa Indonesia is Indonesia. Don't get bahasa Melayu mixed up with bahasa Indonesia though! Although they came from the same roots, but they have evolved into two different languages.

The 1 official language is Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). Indonesian is spoken natively by 20% of the population, but almost everyone speaks it as a first or second language.

Javanese and Sundanese are the next most widely used. Javanese has more native speakers than Indonesian.

Indonesian sign languages are not fully standardized, and there are many dialects that are not mutually intelligible with each other. Deaf instruction is usually done in manually encoded Malay, which is not a natural sign language, but rather a code where every sign is used to represent a spoken word.
There are many native languages spoken on the different islands. Here is a complete list of 725 languages spoken in Indonesia:
