Sapan, 42, used to run with a Madurese gang in the Surabaya underworld until the early '80s, when thousands of suspected criminals were mysteriously murdered.
But his story fits the Madurese stereotype: a people brave and clannish, with their own code of honor (known as carok)—and a propensity for violence.
However humble, the Madurese have their place in Surabaya, where the ethnic balance remains far healthier than in many other troubled Indonesian cities—a land of millions of people living far from their homes.

---it is the native language, the language one dreams in, the first learned and the last forgotten.
We have seen that researchers tend to confuse language policies with multilingualism itself, and have often attempted to map both onto the same symbolic representation, with the result that neither the policy nor the facts of multilingualism emerge clearly.
