ABOUT BANTEN JAVANESE
Jaseng is an abbreviation of Serang Javanese, a dialect of Bantenese Javanese unique to the City/Regency of Serang and distinct from standard Ngoko/Krama Javanese. Like other regional languages, Basa Jaseng is a cultural heritage that needs to be continuously preserved and passed down. This application was created to provide everyone—from the younger generation of Banten to language researchers—with an easy way to search, learn, and preserve Basa Jaseng vocabulary.

The dictionary data sources are compiled from the book "Kamus Saku Jawa Banten" (A. Mudjahid Chudari, 2012) and official data from the Banten Javanese Language Dictionary, Banten Provincial Language Office, and are continuously developed through user contributions via the Suggest Words feature.
