Introduction of Javanese
Javanese is the language that spoken over 75 million people in the central
and eastern parts of the island of Java,
Indonesia. This language is not only spoken in Indonesia but also in some part
of Malaysia, Netherlands, and Singapore. This language is also used in
Suriname. It was originally spoken there by Javanese plantation workers brought
from Indonesia by the Dutch. Their descendants still speak a variety of
Javanese that differs from the one currently spoken in Java.
Although this language is not the official language of Indonesia, Javanese
is accepted as a regional language in three provinces of Java with the largest
population of speakers of Javanese, namely, Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta where
it is taught in schools, used in religious practice and in electronic and print
media. Javanese is also used on the programs of the radio or television and in
certain newspaper columns.
