===Acronyms and portmanteau===
<!---We all love these blends, acronyms and backronyms, but please don't add unsourced stuff here--->
Since the time of the independence of Indonesia, Indonesian has seen a surge of [[neologism]]s which are formed as [[acronym]]s (less commonly also [[initialism]]s) or [[blend word]]s.

Common acronyms are {{lang|id|ABRI}} ({{IPA|id|ˈabri|pron}}, from {{lang|id|Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia}} '[[Indonesian National Armed Forces]]'), {{lang|id|SIM}} ({{IPA|id|sim|pron}}, from {{lang|id|surat izin mengemudi}} 'driving licence'), {{lang|id|SARA}} ({{IPA|id|ˈsara|pron}}, from {{lang|id|suku, agama, ras, antargolongan}} 'ethnic group, religion, race, inter-group [matters]', used when referring to the background of intercommunal conflicts), {{lang|id|HAM}} ({{IPA|id|ham|pron}}, from {{lang|id|hak asasi manusia}} 'human rights').

Blend words/portmanteau are very common in Indonesian, and have become a productive tool of word formation in both formal and colloquial Indonesian. Examples from official usage include departments and officeholders (e.g. {{lang|id|Menlu}} < {{lang|id|Mentri Luar Negeri}} 'Foreign Minister', {{lang|id|Kapolda}} < {{lang|id|Kepala kepolisian daerah}} 'Head of Regional Police') or names of provinces and districts ({{lang|id|Sulut}} < {{lang|id|Sulawesi Utara}} 'North Sulawesi', {{lang|id|Jabar}} < {{lang|id|Jawa Barat}} 'West Java'. Other commonly used portmanteau include {{lang|id|puskesmas}} < {{lang|id|pusat kesehatan masyarakat}} 'community health center', {{lang|id|sembako}} < {{lang|id|sembilan bahan pokok}} 'basic commodities' ({{lit|nine basic commodities}}).<ref>{{cite book|first=James|last=Sneddon|year=2003|title=The Indonesian Language: Its History and Role in Modern Society|location=Sydney|publisher=USNW Press|pages=145–149|isbn=9780868405988}}</ref>
