Seriously, the language that man was speaking is Javanese lol. I am also Javanese (Indonesian) and I can understand what he's saying. Wow... a world apart and after more than hundred of years, it's amazing that their Javanese aren't much different than what we speak in Indonesia.
Stands to reason Indonesia and Suriname were both Dutch colonies. My Wife is Dutch and Indonesian and her parents were born on Java. Then immigrated to the Netherlands. Then to the US. I imagine my Wife and I since Dutch is her mother tongue and I speak some would be totally comfortable in Suriname. Much of the food I’ve eaten is there. Plus we both understand Malay/Indonesian a bit. I’d love to go there and experience it.
I am an Indo Trinidadian who have lived in England for 35 years. I absolutely love Javanese culture, food & women. I have met a few Javanese people from Surinam in The Netherlands
Semoga orang Jawa di Suriname tetap menjadi Jawa apapun agamanya dimanapun tinggalnya,. Soalnya banyak orang Jawa di Indonesia yg sudah ke arab araban dan kebarat baratan.
Orang primitif adalah org yg mengaggung agungkan tanah asal kelahirannya/ras nya dan bersikap acuh pada dunia luar. Manusia ga cuma ada di Jawa tpi seluruh dunia. Saya muslim dan 100% jawa. Percampuran ras/asimilasi budaya bukanlah hal yg buruk. Bagi seorang muslim, tidak ada yg lebih tinggi kedudukannya dari Agama. Agama nomor 1 dan budaya harus menyesuaikan dgn agama (jgn dibalik).
It's interesting when you saw the Latinicized Javanese names and words with the Dutch spelling in Suriname, whilst with the Indonesian spelling in Indonesia. What a culture!
I am people Java Sumatera Indonesia....wah....orang Amerika kalau mau lihat budaya jawa tidak perlu jauh ke Indonesia, karena di Amerika sebelah Selatan ada Negara Suriname yang penduduknya ada orang Jawa.....aku bangga karo Jawa semoga tetap lestari......Very good....
Nuriyyah Asmo halah alesan lo.. Nama orang Suriname itu masih ditulis pakai alfabet versi Belanda.. Seharusnya Noerijah bukan Nuriyyah.. Wkwkwwkw nyamar lu
I'm Indonesian and I'm a javanese person. This is fist time i watch about javanese in suriname. Wayang, one of javanese culture that still exist. In suriname can you find *jamu* ( a traditional drink?)
It’s beautiful to see many kinds of people like Javanese, Black, White and the native live together in harmony with no racism. While in Indonesia Jakartans/Betawi: Eh ada ras kuli, kalo ngomong lu gue gausah medok dong. Javanese: Eh ada orang yang tanahnya sering dijual paksa, ojo ngomong jancuk kalo ora ngerti artine. Me, the sundanese: Anying rame euy, geus der ah garelud! WKWKWK
Javanese people in suriname are descendants from javanese workers that the dutch brought to suriname. Suriname at the time was another dutch colony. javanese suriname people still maintain their culture and language all these years and generations.
Salute. They can still speak the language even though they've been so far away from Java for generations. I can't even speak it because I was raised in Jakarta, lol. Shame on me.
Infinite Sky yes we do! I was a traditional art student in my middle school and we used to study and practice all day all night to perform in gamelan orchestras.
