   Yes ingkang mbakyu, that brings us back to the very topic of this thread.

   I read the article again and I must say SBY is partly guilty himself for the dying out of Javanese. It is his administration which allowed Arab minded people to gain more influence at the expense of indigenous languages and cultures.

   There’s also the American pesinden Karen Elizabeth Schrieber in Malang, she’s doing a great job keeping some of the local girls around her area interested and learning traditional dance. Her husband though, who is Javanese, well he struck me as a bit of a creep, he hit on my sister….

   Yes Patung, that’s her. Lizzy. Lives in Tumpang – can knock out a lovely tune so she can.

   hehehe…

   but anyway, as a Solo man, your Boso Jowo is too Malang not Solo…

   Well spotted, but the “wakilan khas Ngalam” was a giveaway.

   I did indeed live in Solo though for two years, however I really didn’t get too much benefit learning halus though at that time. I do better now taking the kids to see their great grandmother who can read and write Jowo (if only the kids could learn).
