learned something interesting by way of the recent Olympic Games. One
of the top female swimmers in the world is from the Netherlands – her
name is Ranomi Kromowidjojo. That name didn’t sound particularly Dutch
to me (to be honest, her surname looks a little Slavic to me, but
apparently that was a red herring), so I did a little internet research
and discovered that she is of mixed Dutch-Javanese Surinamese origin,
but born and raised entirely in the Netherlands. There’s some
interesting history there that I wasn’t aware of before – Javanese
workers were recruited in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century to work on plantations in Suriname. A lot of their descendants moved to the Netherlands in the 1970s.</span></font></p><p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal">

Subject: </font>History<br><br>Hi, Kev,<br><br><font><span>Kromowidjojo (> Modern Spelling <i>Kromowijoyo</i> < earlier <i>Kråmåwidjåjå</i>) is a "very </span></font>Javanese" name.<br><br>Javanese used to be predominant in about three fourth of the Isle of Java's eastern part and is still a vibrant language there. Sundanese covered most of the western part of the island, with the exception of Batavia, today's Jakarta. (These are parts of our world and humanity I hold in particularly high esteem.) "Malay" varieties have been dominating the Batavia area, today's Jakarta area, for quite some time, and --- simply speaking -- .this is how the official language of Indonesia became <i>Bahasa Indonesia</i><i> </i>("language of Indonesia"), a subset of the Malay language.<br>
