Project Introduction

Javanese is a rich and fascinating language spoken by the Javanese people who primarily reside in the central and eastern parts of the island of Java in Indonesia. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in Indonesia, with over 75 million speakers worldwide as per data published by Ethnologue in 2015. Javanese language and culture are deeply intertwined, and learning the language can provide you with a better understanding and appreciation of Javanese culture, history, and way of life. According to Swiftkey Riset, Indonesia is the largest trilingual country with the combination of Indonesian/Javanese/English, giving Indonesia the top spot. We are glad to help you learn and understand Javanese.
