I've spoken to some malay/indonesians, they don't seem to be bothered by me lumping them together - am I wrong?

Where did you meet them? If you meet a Romanian and a Hungarian in the USA and lump them together they think yeah it's reasonable. If you do the same in Eastern Europe chances are they beat you up :)

In any case, as someone else pointed out, computer science literacy should be #2 on this list.

Which means Malay is ousted from top 10 :( Computer literacy as in one language or all computer languages should compete with human languages?
