In fact, empowering vocabulary and terms are needed in the free market era. This research aims to describe the development of the Indonesian language through empowering vocabulary and terms, both from regional and foreign languages. The research method uses descriptive qualitative through library research, namely by utilizing books, papers, and other documents related to the focus of writing as data sources.
