{{see also|List of Indonesian acronyms and abbreviations}}
There is also a widespread use of acronyms in [[Indonesia]] in every aspect of social life. For example, the {{lang|id|[[Golkar]]}} political party stands for {{lang|id|Partai Golongan Karya}}, {{lang|id|[[Monas]]}} stands for {{lang|id|Monumen Nasional}} ('National Monument'), the {{lang|id|Angkot}} public transport stands for {{lang|id|Angkutan Kota}} ([[Share taxi#Indonesia|'city public transportation']]), {{lang|id|warnet}} stands for {{lang|id|warung internet}} ('[[internet cafe]]'), and many others. Some acronyms are considered formal (or officially adopted), while many more are considered informal, [[slang]], or [[colloquial]].

The capital's metropolitan area ([[Jakarta]] and its surrounding [[Satellite city|satellite regions]]), {{lang|id|[[Jabodetabek]]}}, is another acronym. This stands for {{lang|id|Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi}}. Many highways are also named by the acronym method; e.g. {{lang|id|Jalan Tol}} ('Toll Road') {{lang|id|Jagorawi}} ({{lang|id|Jakarta-Bogor-Ciawi}}), {{lang|id|Purbaleunyi}} ({{lang|id|Purwakarta-Bandung-Cileunyi}}), and {{lang|id|Joglo Semar}} ({{lang|id|Jogja-Solo-Semarang}}).

In some languages, especially those that use certain [[alphabets]], many acronyms come from the governmental use, particularly in the military and law enforcement services. The [[Indonesian military]] (TNI – {{lang|id|Tentara Nasional Indonesia}}) and [[Indonesian police]] (POLRI – {{lang|id|Kepolisian Republik Indonesia}}) are known for heavy acronyms use. Examples include the {{lang|id|[[Kopassus]]}} ({{lang|id|Komando Pasukan Khusus}}; '[[Special Forces]] Command'), {{lang|id|[[Kopaska]]}} ({{lang|id|Komando Pasukan Katak}}; '[[Frogmen]] Command'), {{lang|id|Kodim}} ({{lang|id|Komando Distrik Militer}}; 'Military District Command' – one of the Indonesian army's [[administrative divisions]]), {{lang|id|Serka}} ({{lang|id|Sersan Kepala}}; 'Head [[Sergeant]]'), {{lang|id|Akmil}} ({{lang|id|Akademi Militer}}; 'Military Academy' – in [[Magelang]]), and many other terms regarding [[Military ranks|ranks]], units, divisions, procedures, etc.
