The Hindu, Buddhist and Javanese faiths blended into a unique local philosophy. Hindu and Buddhist - traders and visitors, arrived in the 5th century. Hindu and Buddhist influences arrived through trade contacts with the Indian subcontinent. Javanese adapted many aspects of Indian culture, such as the Ramayana epic.
With a sizeable global population, the Javanese are considered significant as they are the fourth largest ethnic group among Muslims in the world after the Arabs, Bengalis and Punjabis. Javanese heritage has created the largest temples in the world like Prambanan and Borobudur. However, Javanese civilisation has been influenced by more than a millennium of interactions between the native animism Kejawen and the Indian Hindu- Buddhist culture, and this influence is still visible in Javanese history, culture, traditions, and art forms. The Javanese ethnic group has many sub-groups, such as the Osing, Tenggerese and Banyumasan.Ī majority of the Javanese people identify themselves as Sunni Muslims, with a small minority identifying as Christians and Hindus. There are also significant numbers of people of Javanese descent in most provinces of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Suriname, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the Netherlands. They are predominantly located in the central to eastern parts of the island. With approximately 100 million people, they form the largest ethnic group in Indonesia. The Javanese people ( Javanese: Ngoko: ꦮꦺꦴꦁꦗꦮ ( Wóng Jåwå), Krama: ꦠꦶꦪꦁꦗꦮꦶ ( Tiyang Jawi) Indonesian: Suku Jawa or Orang Jawa) are a Southeast Asian ethnic group native to the Indonesian island of Java.
