What are the best conditions for the Malay language to become one of most spoken languages in the world by the year 2000?

Well, it's one of the most spoken languages in the world today... accelerating it to 1900 is hard, though - it requires mass education throughout Indonesia.
It might be impossible get Malay global lingua franca, but local lingua franca it could be.
Best way is that there is surviving Srivijaya or Mayapahit. Srivijaya and Mayapahit were both markable powers during their zeniths.
Or just avoid colonisation or colonisation happen under one nation so there not be division of Malay and Indonesian languages.
