	The name ''Nusantara''		The name ''Nusantara'' originates from Old Javanese. The word ''nūsa'' means "island," while ''antara'' (from Sanskrit अन्तरा) means "between" or "in the middle," thus creating a compound word which literally translates to "the outer islands" or "archipelago." This term was first recorded in the ''Mūla Malurung'' inscription of the Singhasari Kingdom in the 1175 Saka (1255 AD). There, ''Nusantara'' was used to describe the outer territories under the king's authority.
