Despite the number of people, Javanese language’s vitality is weakening. Not only its Krama ‘high’ variety but also its Ngoko ‘low’ variety is currently under erasure (Vander Klok, 2019). Throughout this paper, I reflect on my ability to speak Javanese to shed light on what might be experienced by other Javanese speakers in the modern-day Indonesia. I have always identified myself as a multilingual speaker; Javanese was the first language I learned at home, together with colloquial/informal Indonesian. Standard/formal Indonesian was learned later, mainly through formal education. The influence of English came much later through my mother, who went to England for a year and a half to study, and through popular songs and movies. Using autoethnography notes, I look at how I position my identity as a multilingual speaker and a Javanese, and how that has affected my Javanese language proficiency. The paper touches on different aspects of Javanese, such as speaker’s identity, Javanese phonology, Javanese registers, and Javanese poetics. My personal experiences are discussed in relation to current research findings in the field of Javanese linguistics.
