These changes were instituted around 1977, when Soeharto went on a westernisation kick. The annual school holidays were changed from December-January to June-July to match those of western countries, and spellings were changed, most notably the Dutch ‘oe’ to ‘u’.

Other changes were ‘tj’ to ‘c’, both pronounced ‘ch’, and ‘dj’ to ‘j’, which was previously pronounced as ‘y’. Djakarta = Jakarta, tjutju = cucu, tjahaja = cahaya, etc.

Eva Bartok, whatta babe, eh?

Do you speak the language? Would you be able to translate the spoken word from a video?
