Indonesians may therefore speak multiple languages, particularly Indonesian and English. It occurs in both verbal and written communication. It can be found both in spoken and written form. Speaking it aloud can be heard at lectures, radio shows, and television shows. Code mixing in writing is such as in newspapers, magazines, tabloids, articles, novels, and other literary works.
