Javanese is the language of Java — Indonesia's most populous island and the historical centre of Indonesian civilisation — with around 80 million speakers, making it the world's most-spoken language without official national status. (Indonesia uses Standard Indonesian as the official language.) Our Javanese translation work overlaps with general Indonesian — civil documents from Java are usually in Indonesian, with Javanese being the spoken language for interpreting. Javanese uses the Latin alphabet today, though older religious and literary texts use the traditional Javanese script.
