Some colloquialisms are used throughout Indonesia, but some are specific to Jakarta Indonesian (which is rapidly becoming a lingua franca, including for certain genres of written communication).
Colloquial words were included if they are also used to some extent in written literature (including journalism).
Such words are often current in standard Malaysian Malay and/or some regional dialects of Malay-Indonesian. These include formal words which are rarely used, but appear in Indonesian dictionaries, and are understood by educated speakers.
The vocabulary does not aim at exhaustion, but most Indonesian words that are reasonably close equivalents of LWT meanings are probably listed.
