Javanese alphabet  
The earliest known writing in Javanese dates from the 4th Century AD, at which time Javanese was written with the Pallava alphabet. By the 10th Century, the Kawi alphabet, which developed from Pallava, had a distinct Javanese form.  

By the 17th Century, the Javanese alphabet, also known as tjarakan or carakan, had developed into its current form. During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia between 1942 and 1945, the alphabet was prohibited.  

For a period from the 15th Century onwards, Javanese was also written with a version of the Arabic alphabet, called pégon or gundil.  

Since the Dutch introduced the Latin alphabet to Indonesia in the 19th Century, the Javanese alphabet has gradually been supplanted. Today it is used almost exclusively by scholars and for decoration. Those who can read and write it are held in high esteem.  

Notable features
Javanese is a syllabic alphabet - each letter has an inherent vowel /a/. Other vowels can be indicated using a variety of diacritics which appear above, below, in front of or after the main letter.  
Each consonants has two forms: the aksara form is used at the beginning of a syllable, while the pasangan form, which usually appears below the aksara form, is used for the second consonant of a consonant cluster and mutes the vowel of the aksara.  
There are a number of special letters called aksara murda or aksara gedhe (great or important letters) which are used for honorific purposes, such as to write the names of respected people.  
The order of the consonants makes the following saying, "Hana caraka, data sawala padha jayanya, maga bathanga" which means "There were (two) emissaries, they began to fight, their valor was equal, they both fell dead"  
Used to write:
Javanese, an austronesian language spoken by about 75 million people in Indonesia and Suriname.  

The Javanese alphabet was also used to write Balinese and Sundanese, but has been replaced by the Latin alphabet.

爪哇语是印尼四大主岛之一的爪哇岛上东、中部居民主要采用的语言。爪哇语属南岛语系中马来-波利尼西亚语族的一个语支，和印尼语及马来语算是近亲，有语言人口7550万人。不少讲爪哇语的人都同时会说印尼语，但日常生活主要采用爪哇语。

现时爪哇语采用拉丁字母，但过去曾经采用一种很特别的爪哇文字来记录他们的语言。
简介
爪哇语是一种南岛语系的语言，属於马来-波里尼西亚语族西马来-波里尼西亚语群的巽他语支，是爪哇岛东部、中部和西部北岸的主要语言。它与马来语、巽他语、峇里语、曼德勒语等语言的关系较密切，与苏门答腊语、婆罗洲诸语、菲律宾语等的关系较疏。

Javanese is spoken in the central and eastern parts of Java, the most populous island of the Republic of Indonesia. A member of the Malayo-Polynesian family, it has about 75 million speakers. The traditional Javanese script is of ancient origin, having been brought to Java from southern India more than a thousand years ago. The passage below appears first in the Javanese, then in the Roman script to which it is gradually yielding ground.

爪哇语是一种非常有文化内涵的语言，只是曲高和寡，再加上难学，现在爪哇人中能说好这种语言的也所剩无几了，特别是年青人，只会说这种语言中的最粗俗简单的一种BAHASA　KASAR。BAHASA　　HALUS可能只有部分年长的人会，另外还有一种宫廷语言可能只有个别专家才会吧。倒是不少西方人跑到爪哇学习这种被本族人遗弃的语言和文化。
