Indonesia's national motto meaning 'Unity in Diversity' in Old Javanese, derived from a 14th-century Javanese poem. It reflects Indonesia's remarkable diversity — 270 million people of 300+ ethnic groups speaking 700+ languages across 17,000 islands — united under one national identity. It parallels India's concept of 'Anekta mein Ekta.'
