Why do 82+ million people need an online Javanese keyboard? Javanese is spoken by 82 million people – more than any other language without official national status! It's the native language of Java, Indonesia's most populous island. While most Javanese today write in Latin script, the traditional Carakan script is a beautiful part of Javanese heritage being revived in schools and cultural contexts.

The Javanese script (Aksara Jawa/Carakan) is an ancient abugida descended from Brahmi script. It has 20 basic aksara (consonants), each with an inherent 'a' vowel that can be modified with sandhangan (diacritics). The script includes pangkon (꧀) to remove the inherent vowel, pasangan for consonant clusters, and beautiful Javanese numerals (꧑-꧙).

Perfect for every Javanese typing need: Write traditional Javanese texts, study Javanese literature and manuscripts, practice Carakan for school, preserve Javanese cultural heritage, or simply explore this beautiful ancient script. Java has rich traditions, wayang puppetry, and gamelan music!

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Javanese text stays on your device only.
