official language and there is a folk language, so the rule of
"who speaks to whom about what, where, when and how"
which comes from linguistic sociology, is a consideration
125 Idrus Hakimy, Mustika Series, p. 79, which means: The mango
shoot is bowing, the nickname of the ligundi flower, so that disputes are far
removed, refine language and culture.
