In Australia we were a little peeved when the new state of East Timor adopted Portugese as its national language instead of English. Indonesian would have been a better choice as like Esperanto it is an excellent language and spoken by neighbouring countries, but we could sort of understand resentment after the years of occupation by the US backed Soeharto dictatorship.
