want to learn javanese, need recommendations

[isaacmacdonald]

I'd like to learn basic some basic phrases and grammar in the javanese dialect. What's the best source for "teach yourself" cds, something similar to the courses designed for us military personell?

first off, work on your English: it's japanese. I looked at the thread and thought well, they want to learn one of two things, or both:

1) learn java programing

2) learn the japanese language

EDIT: (again) Well, since it isn't japanese, I can't help. Sorry.

You do realize that there's a region of the world called Java where the language is called Javanese, right?

In answer to your question, I've looked at this myself a bit, as part of my anime habit...um...I mean hobby . I've heard good things about the Japanese for Busy People books.

The Malayo-Polynesian family has two subfamilies, Western Malayo-Polynesian and Eastern Malayo-Polynesian. The Western subfamily has the greater significance from both a cultural and a commercial viewpoint. Western Malayo-Polynesian languages are spoken by over 200 million people and include Malagasy, the language of 13 million people on the island of Madagascar; Malay, native to 28 million in Malaysia and the island of Sumatra, in Indonesia; Indonesian or Bahasa Indonesia [Indonesian language], which is based on the Malay language and is spoken natively by about 26 million people in Indonesia; Javanese, the mother tongue of 62 million people on Java; Sundanese, the language of 25 million, also on Java; Madurese, with 10 million speakers on Madura; Balinese, spoken by 2.5 million on Bali; and Pilipino or Tagalog, the native tongue of about 20 million in the Philippines. The Eastern branch consists of the Melanesian, Micronesian, and Polynesian groups of languages. Although there is a very large number of these languages, all together they are spoken by only 5 million people. Melanesian languages are found on the islands of Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, the Bismarck Archipelago, and New Guinea.

Cool at least somebody has a sense of humor. I didn't say it to be ignorant (though, from the other responses, I obviously was); I honestly thought it was some weird typo. Guess I should have read the entire post first.
