[edit] Munir
Well Munir was actually an Indonesian Arab, though he might have had some Javanese ancestry. Meursault2004 20:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Why four of five picture is president?202.69.101.170 07:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes I agree. They are all politicians. We should change the picture. I think the picture on the Indonesian Wikipedia is better, although it is in BW. Meursault2004 17:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation of "Javanese" and "Java"
How is "Javanese" called (pronounced) in Javanese? How is the name of Java island pronounced by its inhabitants? I've found a number of different pronunciations including "Java" and "Yava" but couldn't find the original...
--Aleksandar Šušnjar 15:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Javanese is called wong Jawa [wɔŋ 'dʒɔwɔ] or tiyang Jawi [tijaŋ 'dʒawi] in Javanese. The former is in the so-called ngoko speech register (roughly common speak) and the latter in the so-called krama speech register (roughly official speak). The island of Java is called pulo Jawa or pulo Jawi. But the land of Java where the Javanese people live, is called tanah Jawa or tanah Jawi. Tanah is pronounced as [tɑn'ah], while pulo is pronounced as ['pulo]. Meursault2004 17:15, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

- In Latin Java is pronounciated like the native call their island, Jawa.Aditthegrat 08:51, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Renamed article
I renamed this article from Javanese to Javanese people, consistent with the convention used with other articles about ethnic peoples. I'll have Javanese redirect here with another link to Javanese (disambiguation). --Ginkgo100 talk 22:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know, the language is quite often referred to. Glancing at Special:Whatlinkshere/Javanese, while more seem to be for the ethnic group, there are quite a few referring to the language as well. Most of this kind go right to disambiguation, for example English or Balinese. Having Javanese be a disambiguation page would make it more obvious that the links that go there (that should go to either the language or the ethnicity) should be redirected.

[edit] No Sources
Is anyone else disturbed that this article does not cite any of its sources. Regarding the used of Indonesian, It mentiones a survey but does not cite it. That particular segment says that only about 30% of Javanese speak Indonesian. That might be the case, but I really doubt it -- all school children learn Indonesian. Also, most if not all of TV programs are broadcast in Indnesian or in a foreign language with a Indonesian subtitles. In my experience, with the exception of the very old (who grew up before wide spread general education) and the very young (who have not gone to school yet), most Javanese speak Indonesian.

- Yes, that seems like an error. Don't know how that happended.Merbabu 02:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I think it's the opposite, about 30% Javanese speak Javanese fluently. Many Javanese people in Jakarta or outside Java island, can't speak Javanese. Like me, I understand Javanese language but I'm not good to speak in Javanese. Ario_ManUtd 08:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "related groups" info removed from infobox
For dedicated editors of this page: The "related Groups" info was removed from all {{Infobox Ethnic group}} infoboxes. Comments may be left here. Ling.Nut 22:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of sub-country regional population statistics
An anonymous editor (User:202.58.86.15) has repeatedly removed the sub-country regional population stats without providing any justification why they are unsuitable for use in the template. In reverting these unjustified changes I've pointed out that nowhere does the template (Template:Ethnic_group) state that sub-country stats cannot be included. User:Merbabu has also reverted these changes, I presume for the same reasons. Until a case is provided for why the province stats, which provide a useful understanding of the widespread distribution of the Javanese people throughout Indonesia, cannot be included I will continue to revert these changes. (Caniago 13:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC))
- Yes, the case for removal should be made first, rather than a case for keeping. --Merbabu 13:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
