Apakah Bahasa Indonesia bisa menjadi Bahasa Ilmu Pengetahuan ?

Bahasa seperti yang kita ketahui adalah budaya dalam masyarakat yang berfungsi sebagai alat komusikasi Dengan bahasa kita dapat mengerti maksud dan tujuan saat orang lain mengemukakan pendapat , ide atau pun beberapa hal lainnya yang ingin d sampaikan oleh orang tersebut. Namun , apakah Bahasa Indonesia dapat digunakan menjadi bahasa Ilmu Pengetahuan ?

Menurut saya , Bahasa Indonesia BISA menjadi bahasa ilmu pengetahuan. Karena setiap daerah di Indonesia memiliki Bahasa daerahnya masing-masing jadi, jika dalam Ilmu Pengetahuan menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia yg baik dan benar (dan juga memperhatikan beberapa hal yg perlu di perhatiakan dalam penulisan Ilmu Pengetahuan) tentu saja akan di mengerti oleh masyarakat luas di Indonesia meskipun di Indonesia memiliki bahasa daerahnya masing-masing namun Bahasa Indonesialah yg menurut saya akan mudah di pahami oleh masyarakat yang ada di Indonesia.
