Do you speak Bahasa?

That is something funny to say, because bahasa means language, so you are asking: do you speak language?.

It is even funnier when an Indonesian speaks English in indonesian way. I'm going to list examples I've found here in Wikipedia, where an Indonesian wikipedian is trying to communicate in English. Sometimes it is irritating at the beginning, when he/she is trying to repel your arguments, but the more time you read his/her statement the funnier it is.

Requesting a cleanup
On August 23, 2006 in Cleanup, somebody who insisted to put a cleanup tag in the Bandung article, although efforts have been done, asked this request:


 * Bandung - This article seems to be all over the place. Although it is on the right path to a good article, it still needs some taking a look at by someone who can do somewhat of an overhaul.

(Note that he/she didn't dare to put his/her name in that request)

If you're an Indonesian, then you'll smile. The phrase all over the place is a common Indonesian phrase for everywhere, but then the meaning is absurd when you say: this article seems to be everywhere :-)).

Another one is some taking a look at by someone who can do somewhat of an overhaul. Confusing huh? hehehe. I think his statement should be cleaned up first.

Amazingly, he has this userbox: &mdash; this user is a native speaker of English &mdash; in his user page, bwahahaha.
