replies: text: I agree the box with the entire genealogy of the Brahmic languages is too large, and can probably be removed. (There should be links to other languages of the same family, but the entire genealogy is maybe more something for the Brahmic family page.) Joost (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Oversized box for history of scripts

message: This article needs to be converted to inline citation for fact checking rather than just a list of further reading. Also I remove stats from the lead as per WP:LEAD it should be a summary of the article, the article doesnt have anything about how many people use the script, nor does it cover anything about publications in Javanese script. Additionally I find the stats rather hard to believe out of population 125 million speakers only 6.4% of them can write it, thats why Wikipedia requires citations.

thread_title:  Citations needed 

message: This replaced the Javanese script and as a result, there are currently no newspapers or magazines being printed in the Javanese script even with over 8 million Javanese speakers. I have tagged as requesting a direct quote as this seams a particularly low figure and also clarify when "currently" existed in relation to the source. Gnangarra 16:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  quote request 

message: I added a coupld of links where they seemed necessary.
In the Scripts section, maybe there is a better way to organize the information.  It struck me as a little confusing or overwhelming.  In this section, the sentence "Only l, r, w, and y can form consonant clusters in Javanese." could be a little clearer, maybe with a better way to show sounds than just listing letters.
Also, the Javanese section perhaps should be titles something else, especially since the whole page is called Javanese.  Maybe something like "Characteristics" would be better.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matanuska (talk • contribs) 00:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Overall, I like the organization of this page.  Sections are clear and logical.  You added a lot of useful information.
I have two suggestions:
1) This article doesn't contain very many links to other Wikipedia pages.  You could add some which link to the pages for terms you use in the article.
2) Some information is repeated in a few places throughout the article, so you could fix that.  Also, it might be helpful if you explained a bit more clearly the information you have in the "Javanese" section.

message: The direction of writing doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere on the page - this should probably be added. Also, it is noted that despite there being over eight million speakers of Javanese, there aren't any more newspapers or magazines written in the Javanese script being produced - perhaps some information about the number of people who recognize/use Javanese script versus the number of people who speak Javanese, but use the new Latin alphabet system could be added. —Fuzzy Pickle (talk) 00:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: More possible improvements

message: In general, I think your page is incredibly detailed but I feel like the details might be a bit overwhelming and messy sometimes. The scripts section was a bit confusing to read and digest. Perhaps adding some kind of phonetic chart (If available) for the consonants/vowels to organize it a bit. Also, maybe a little mention about how the current latin alphabet script compares to the carakan script.cjdz (talk) 02:22, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Neither. It's abugida, as stated in the article. Who changed the title into "alphabet"? Jiwa Matahari (talk) 13:04, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

text: The term "alphabet" is mistakenly used for any writing systems by the general populace. "Arabic alphabet", "Javanese alphabet", and so on. But since the article is discussing a script, it should not be regarded as that. An "alphabet" is a writing system in which consonants and vowels are equal letters. An "abugida" is a writing system in which consonants are the letters while vowels are diacritics. A standalone vowel diacritic in an abugida system is not considered a letter, while a vowel letter in an alphabet is. An "abjad" on the other hand, only has consonant letters while the vowels are guessed through context. In summary, Javanese is perfectly an abugida. Alteaven (talk) 08:43, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

message: For the pasangan the aksara letters in combination with the pangkon are used. It seems that this derives from the corresponding entry in Bahasa Indonesia. There, however, it explains only the correct use of the pangkon. 
The corresponding entry in Basa Jawa shows the pasangan. This is also in accordance with omniglot.com.

thread_title:  Aksara jawa 

message: Can anyone provide a gloss for the words in the hanacaraka sequence? There’s a translation for each part but no direct translation of the actual words, in trying to look some of them up (actually a lot of them) I was not able to find them. So I’d be interested to know what the individual words actually mean.
