The Javanese are an ethnic group native to the Indonesian island of Java. They are the largest ethnic group in Indonesia with a staggering 85 million people. Most Javanese call themselves Muslim. The Javanese people are known for their rigid social interactions and mannerisms and Javanese etiquette held high. Today, they seem to be more relaxed, though.
Interestingly, the Javanese are thought to have originated in Taiwan, travelling through the Philippines and arriving on the island of Java. They are influenced by the Indian culture, as well. The Javanese alphabet is very unique. The alphabet itself tells a poem and a perfect pangram.
The poem is a story about a Javanese mythology about how the people became a civilization on Java. The poem translated says “There were two messengers, they had animosity among each other, they were equally powerful in fight, here are the corpses.” The myth came from the Javanese King Java Aji Saka.
