Ask this question
"Can you speak Indonesian fluently?"
If the answer is "Yes", fill in the Indonesian language box. Move on to Question 8. It is unnecessary to ask other languages (leave empty the other boxes).

Local languages are not only the languages of the enumeration area but also all local languages in Indonesia.

This language is also categorized as one of local languages.
If the answer for the second question is "Yes", fill in the local languages box.
If the answer for the first and second question is "No", ask this question:
"Can you speak foreign languages?"
If the answer is "Yes", fill in the foreign language box.
