Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Indonesian, the official and national language of Indonesia, is a standardized variety of Malay and has long served as a lingua franca in the multilingual Indonesian archipelago. Indonesia, the fourth most populous country globally, has over 279 million people, the majority of whom speak Indonesian, making it one of the world's most widely spoken languages.

Javanese is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by over 68 million people, primarily from central and eastern Java, Indonesia, with some speakers on the northern coast of western Java. It is the largest Ethnic Austronesian language by number of native speakers and has several regional dialects and distinct status styles. Closely related languages include Sundanese, Madurese, and Balinese. Most Javanese speakers also use Indonesian for official, commercial, and broader communication purposes.
