The colonization era was complicated for Indonesia, a country with 700 languages, as it is hard to tell if it was helpful or not for the Sundanese language. But Ilham Nurwansah is now on a mission to digitize old text, and share encyclopedic information through Wikipedia. What is known very little about Nurwansah is that he also makes his own musical instrument (see a short documentary of him playing the Sundanese instrument Karinding).

UNESCO estimated that half of the world's 7,000 languages are in danger. According to the “2020 Decolonizing the Internet's Languages Report” by Whose Knowledge?, only a mere 7% of the world’s languages are captured in published resources.

Nurwansah is digitizing ancient manuscripts and contributing to the Sundanese-language Wikipedia.
