KRAMA AND NGOKO, THE STYLE OF JAVANESE LANGUAGE

I. INTRODUCTION
Javanese language is one of the most important languages in Indonesia. It is spoken by more than 80 million people or about 40 percent from total Indonesian population (Oglobin, 2005). The Javanese language is part of the Austronesian family, and therefore it’s related to Indonesian and Malay varieties. Many of Javanese also speak Indonesian for official and commercial purposes and to communicate with non-Javanese Indonesians. This language is spoken in Central and East Java, as well as on the north coast of West Java. In Madura, Bali, Lombok, and the Sunda region of West Java, Javanese was also used as a literary language. It was the court language in Palembang, South Sumatra, until their palace was sacked by the Dutch in the late 18th century.
The Javanese language has a very high value of literature, structure and a complicated grammar. It is not easy to apply it, especially for the common people. It is different with English, where the use of Javanese language is not depend on the time, whether it is past or future, as much the English that has tenses so that it can be easily to learn, but it depends on the social acceptability and age of the person.
