The '''Agency for Language Development and Cultivation''' ({{langx|id|Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa}}), formerly the '''Language and Book Development Agency''' ({{lang|id|Badan Pengembangan Bahasa dan Perbukuan}}) and the '''Language Centre''' ({{lang|id|Pusat Bahasa}}), is the institution responsible for standardising and regulating the [[Indonesian language]] as well as maintaining the indigenous [[languages of Indonesia]]. It is an agency under the [[Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Indonesia)|Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education]] of [[Indonesia]].

== History ==
The agency was founded in 1947 as the Language and Culture Research Institute ({{lang|nl|Instituut voor Taal en Cultuur Onderzoek}}, ITCO), part of the [[University of Indonesia]]. It was headed by Gerrit Jan Held. Parallel to this, the newly formed Indonesian government, having just declared independence in 1945, created the {{lang|id|Balai Bahasa}} ("Language Bureau") in March 1948. At that time, this organisation was under the Culture Division of the Ministry of Education, Teaching and Culture.<ref name="sejarah">{{cite web|url=http://badanbahasa.kemdikbud.go.id/lamanbahasa/sejarah|title=Sejarah Pusat Bahasa|access-date=28 September 2021|work=Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa}}</ref>

In 1952, both organisations were integrated into the Faculty of Literature at the University of Indonesia. The combined organisation was named the Division of Language and Culture ({{lang|id|Lembaga Bahasa dan Budaya}}). Seven years later, on 1 June 1959, the division was renamed the Division of Language and Literature ({{lang|id|Lembaga Bahasa dan Kesusastraan}}), and was integrated into the Department of Education, Teaching and Culture.<ref name="sejarah" />

On 3 November 1966, the division was again renamed to Directorate of Language and Literature ({{lang|id|Direktorat Bahasa dan Kesusasteraan}}) under the Directorate General of Culture, which was itself under the Department of Education and Culture. On 27 May 1969, the directorate was renamed to Division of National Language ({{lang|id|Lembaga Bahasa Nasional}}, LBN) under the same Directorate General.<ref name="sejarah" />

On 1 April 1975, the LBN was once again renamed to The Centre of Language Learning and Research ({{lang|id|Pusat Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Bahasa}}, PPPB). Unofficially, the term ''{{lang|id|Pusat Bahasa}}'' was used to refer to the PPPB due to its lengthy name.<ref name="sejarah"/><ref name=hawaii>{{cite web|last=Quinn |first=George |title=Malay Language Bahasa Indonesia: The Indonesian Language |url=http://www.hawaii.edu/indolang/malay.html |publisher=University of Hawaii |accessdate=11 August 2011 |quote=After independence the Language Commission went through several incarnations culminating in the establishment in 1975 of the Centre for Language Development ({{lang|id|Pusat Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Bahasa}} usually shortened to {{lang|id|Pusat Bahasa}}) under the Government’s Department of National Education. |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605004723/http://www.hawaii.edu/indolang/malay.html |archivedate=5 June 2011 }}</ref>

Due to a presidential order in 2000, the PPPB was officially renamed as the "Language Center", and placed under the Secretariat General of the Department of National Education.<ref name="sejarah" />

In 2009, the Indonesian government and People's Representative Council passed Law 24/2009 on the Flag, Language, State Symbol and National Anthem. Because of that act and a presidential order, the Language Center was renamed as Language Development and Fostering Agency ({{lang|id|Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa}}), and placed under the Ministry of Education and Culture.<ref name="sejarah" />

As of 30 October 2018 and refer to Presidential Decree No 101/2018, the agency has been renamed as Language and Book Development Agency ({{lang|id|Badan Pengembangan Bahasa dan Perbukuan}}).<ref name="Perpres 101/2018">{{cite act |type=Presidential Decree |index=101 |date=2018  |legislature=[[President of Indonesia]] |title=Peraturan Presiden RI Nomor 101 Tahun 2018 tentang Perubahan atas Peraturan Presiden Nomor 14 Tahun 2015 tentang Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan |trans-title= |url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Home/Details/97808/perpres-no-101-tahun-2018 |language=id}}</ref>

On 2 January 2020, based on Presidential Decree No 82/2019 the agency name reverted back to {{lang|id|Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa}} and book-related affairs was placed under {{lang|id|Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan dan Perbukuan}} (Research and Development Agency within Ministry of Education and Culture).<ref name="Perpres 82/2019">{{cite act |type=Presidential Decree |index=82 |date=2019  |legislature=[[President of Indonesia]] |title=Peraturan Presiden RI Nomor 82 Tahun 2019 tentang Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan |trans-title= |url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Home/Details/127675/perpres-no-82-tahun-2019 |language=id}}</ref>

On 15 July 2021, the [[Ministry of Education and Culture (Indonesia)|Ministry of Education and Culture]] and the [[Ministry of Research and Technology/National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesia)|Ministry of Research and Technology]] were merged into the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. The agency was then placed under the new ministry.<ref name="Perpres 62/2021">{{cite act |type=Presidential Decree |index=62 |date=2021  |legislature=[[President of Indonesia]] |title=Peraturan Presiden RI Nomor 62 Tahun 2021 tentang Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi |trans-title= |url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Home/Details/173504/perpres-no-62-tahun-2021 |language=id}}</ref>
