This morning I try to write my local vernacular using traditional alphabet compiled by Javanese ancestors years ago. We call our vernacular
Basa Jawa and the alphabet
Hanacaraka. Actually, I envy for what India government did on their vernaculars and the alphabets which are still functionated for public uses. Our government, Indonesian government, seems careless about this eventough about 719 local vernaculars and 20s traditional alphabets are scattered from western to eastern part of country. For sure, they’re all, including overwhelming Javanese, facing extinciton years onward if no serious act from government is done. My writing is scribed using
Tuladha Jejeg font for Javanese on OpenOffice the perfect! I use that application since it’s the only I have which is able to render Javanese writing system. FYI, Javanese writing system is different from what Latin, Arabic, Hangeul, and Chinese writing systems.
Hanacaraka characters are flexible, its characters basically write from left to right. But practically, the chacaters also able to do right to left as
taling character. Some characters also to be placed above other characters as
cecek,
layar,
wulu, and
pepet or below them as most of
pasangan,
suku,and others. This system isn’t only for Javanese, its relative alphabets, mostly Southeast Asian alphabets share same system. Ok, let’s go to my writing. ^^
