Indonesia comprises of more than 17000 island, only less than half are inhabited. There are hundreds of ethnic and tribal groups in Indonesia with their own languages, most of which are on the the brink of extinction because they are not widely used nationally, unlike the more popular Indonesian language or languages of larger ethnic groups (Javanese, Sundanese, etc).
