Javanese and Japanese is different when i went to language exchange, and then tried to found people who want to learn javanesse language, i was just amazed. because i saw so many people want to learn javanese language since its not official language. but then, i checked one of their profile, but sadly the fact is actually they want to learn japanese. i read one profile of person who want to learn javanese, and its wrote that she want to understand hiragana. so its mean actually she want to learn Japanese, not Javanese. it is different between "p" and "v". and now, i want to explain the difference. Javanese language is the language of the Javanese people from central and east Java. Java is one of biggest island in Indonesia. And Javanese language has 3 type. Ngoko Javanese, Madya Javanese and Kromo Javanese. Ngoko used by Javanese people from east Java, its a bit rough and its informal . Kromo Javanese used by Javanese people from central Java, its very polite and they speak slowly and gently. And Madya is among those two. And Japanese is official language. so many people want to learn Japanese. but be careful while choosing. Japanese and Javanese is different, okay. :)

Javanese and Japanese is are different

When I went to language exchange, and then tried to found find people who want to learn the javanesse language, i was just amazed. because i saw so many people want to learn javanese language since even though it's not an official language. but then, i checked one of their profiles, but sadly the fact is actually they want to learn japanese. i read one profile of person who want to learn javanese, and its she wrote that she wants to understand hiragana. so its means actually she actually wants to learn Japanese, not Javanese. it is different between "p" and "v". The difference is between "p" and "v"/

and now, i want to explain the difference.

Javanese language is the language of the Javanese people from
central and east Java. Java is one of biggest islands in Indonesia. And Javanese language has 3 types: Ngoko Javanese, Madya Javanese and Kromo Javanese. Ngoko used by Javanese people from east Java, it's a bit rough and it's informal . Kromo Javanese is used by Javanese people from central Java, it's very polite and they speak slowly and gently. And Madya is among between those two.

And Japanese is an official language. so many people want to learn Japanese. but be careful while choosing. Japanese and Javanese is are different, okay.

Well done. Sami-Sami. :) Make sure that you pay attention to the difference between "its" and "it's". "Its" is for possession. "It's" is a contraction of "It is". This link should help http://www.grammar-monster.com/easily_confused/its_its.htm .Well done!

This reminded me when a Javanese man came to my school to talk about himself and Indonesia, we had to write down notes for a report about him. One of my classmates asked "What languages do you speak?" and he replied "English, Indonesian and Javanese". After he left, I heard people discussing what they learnt. I heard one of them ask "How fluent do you think his Japanese is?".

But if you live in Palembang you may be Sumateran ! Or maybe not, my Javan friend said she lived in Medan once, because Java was too overcrowded !!
