Babad Tanah Jawi

This channel will be a home for Babad Tanah Jawi, based on the prose edition prepared by J.J. Meinsma, read in Javanese and shared with the world through open-source Indonesian and English subtitles.

Many people know logographic writing systems like Hanzi, phonetic systems like Hangul, or abugidas like Devanagari.

But how many people outside Java even know that Carakan exists?

Through this project, I want to make the barrier to entry much lower for anyone who is curious about Carakan, Javanese, and the stories carried through them.

Wiwitan means a beginning. The first note in a long thread.
