Ihn-doe-knee-jzuh or Ihn-doe-knee-see-uh?
I've noticed that British people seem to pronounce it as the latter. I pronounce it as the former, and I noticed that it was difficult for me to decide how to write the final consonant. It's a combination of j, sh, and z. You can hear it here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?ggindo02.wav=Indonesia
They record it as "zhə".
Does this sound not exist in British English? Is that why they pronounce -sia as see-uh?
