Indonesia shouldn't be highlighted on that map. In spite of its colonial history, Dutch is no longer a relevant language there, no one uses it as lingua franca anymore as it has been all but forgotten. Haleth (talk) 01:50, 23 September 2009 (UTC):[reply]

I agree Indonesia should not be highlighted; although Dutch still retains some historical and academical importance, it is far from being commonly spoken. --Hooiwind (talk) 07:33, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and Canada needs a green dot. --Hooiwind (talk) 07:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weird map. Virtually nobody speaks Dutch anymore in Indonesia. We have a lot of Dutch loanwords, but the new generation has no knowledge of the Dutch language itself. It's a totally foreign language for us, even more foreign than English. At least they teach us English in schools (well sort of). Jiwa Matahari (talk) 10:55, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
