Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain Indonesian, relay history, standardisation, varieties and slang from linguistic and Indonesian sources, describe the named registers respectfully and flag the misfiled alias, and distinguish Indonesian from Malaysian Malay, Javanese and other regional languages, and Indonesian slang from the standard language.
The official and national language of Indonesia, a standardised form of Malay proclaimed as the language of unity in the Youth Pledge of 1928 and in the 1945 Constitution, used by the great majority of Indonesia s population, most of whom also speak regional languages, codified by the Language Development and Fostering Agency and the KBBI dictionary, with spelling rules revised most recently as EYD; informal registers the registry aliases name include Indonesian slang or bahasa gaul, Prokem, a 1970s Jakarta youth argot, Alay, a 2000s youth writing style, and Binan, an argot of Indonesian LGBT communities, while the alias operational excellence is unrelated and misfiled.
What it is for: National communication in Indonesia.
It can be explain history and standardisation; relay varieties and slang; describe named registers; distinguish related languages.
