Home > Javanese script

Javanese script is the script that Javanese is originally written in (not to be confused with Javascript, which is a programming language). It consists of 20 main consonants with an inherent vowel 'o' (like in 'road'), though usually it's transliterated to 'a' (similar to Abugida writing system).

The twenty consonants are:
ha, na, ca, ra, ka
da, ta, sa, wa, la
pa, dha, ja, ya, nya
ma, ga, ba, tha, nga

Meaning Behind Javanese Script

Interestingly, the script itself is a poem, whose line-by-line translation is as follows:
There (were/was) warriors
(They) had animosity (among each other)
(They were) equally powerful (in fight)
Both (were) dead.

in details :

'hana'/'ana' = there were/was
'caraka' = warrior (actually, 'one who loyal to and being trusted by someone')
'data' = have/has
'sawala' = difference (regarding a matter)
'padha' = same, equal
'jayanya' = 'their power', 'jaya' could means 'glory' as well
'maga' = 'both' (TODO:check this)
'bathanga' = 'be a dead body' = 'die' , since 'bathang' = corpse
