language of borrowed words


Explanation:
As in "English is a language of borrowed words"
Whether this is the intention of the author of the text in question, who knows? Am I right, the source text is somewhat disjointed Indonesian?

agree  ivo abdman: borrowed languange has two meaning in Indonesian 1. Bahasa serapan (result of absorb - > wrong) 2. Bahasa yang diserap (the source of word that was absorbed may be like you mean (could be right if it match with the context))
