Line 125:

The name ''Nusantara'' originates from [[Wikipedia:Old Javanese|Old Javanese]]. The word ''nūsa'' means "island," while ''antara'' (from [[Wikipedia:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] अन्तरा) means "outer" or "between," 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 [[Wikipedia:Singhasari|Singhasari Kingdom]] in the 1177 [[Wikipedia:Indian national calendar|Saka]] (1255 CE), where it was used to describe the outer territories under the king's authority. The term appeared again in Old Javanese manuscripts, the ''[[Wikipedia:Pararaton|Pararaton]]'' and the ''[[Wikipedia:Nagarakretagama|Nagarakretagama]]''. In 1336, [[Wikipedia:Gajah Mada|Gajah Mada]], the then-[[Wikipedia:Mangkubhumi|prime minister]] of the [[Wikipedia:Majapahit|Majapahit Empire]], took the ''[[Wikipedia:Palapa oath|Sumpah Palapa]]'' ('Palapa Oath'), where he vowed not to taste any [[Wikipedia:Spice|spices]] until he had united all of Nusantara under Majapahit rule.

During the Bandung Congress~~, which laid the groundwork for the establishment of Nusantara~~, many names were put forward for the new country. Delegates from ~~the~~ Pasundan ~~Sultanate~~ favored Sunda, while those from Sumatran kingdoms favored Malaya.
