These people have one of the highest literacy levels in Indonesia. Men are so well educated in this society because if the father dies his son is able to continue his study supported by his mother's side. Although they make up only 4% of the Indonesian population, there are more Minangkabau among 20th Century Indonesian writers than any other ethnic group. They are, afterall, writing in their native tongue: the Indonesian language was derived from Sumatra. In the only 50 years of modern Indonesian literature, such important pre-war writers as Rusli (Sitti Nurabaya, 1922), Muis (Wrong Upbringing), Pustaka, Iskander, Pane, Anwar, Idrus, and the first noteworthy female novelist, Selasih (If Fortune Does Not Favor), all came from this region. These books in their time were shattering. The first writer of importance to write Indonesian language poetry, which employed western poetic devices and concepts, was Muhammad Yamin (b. 1903). One of the earliest and best known of his poems is Tanah Air (My Fatherland), published in 1920. In it, Yamin stands on the hills of his native Minangkabau country, singing of its beauty. His efforts revealed the potential of verse written in the Indonesian language. Rustam Effendi (b. 1903) is another outstanding poet of West Sumatra.
