Scripture in Javanese
A complete Bible is reported in Javanese.
From the Every Language research atlas and its sources. “No known Scripture” means none is recorded in those sources, not that none exists.
Every Language recording project
- Javanese: 23.2% of Bible chapters recorded (276 chapters).
Project report, figures not audited. Recorded chapters may still need review and approval before publication, and recording does not mean the audio is in the EveryBible app yet.
