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.
