Entah beneran atau nggak, tapi ternyata
sampai ada di wikipedia juga.. :D Huwah,
tapi kalo dipikir-pikir emang pakai istilah
jawa itu lebih seru ketimbang bahasa lain.
Bahkan kalo di bahasa Indonesiakan kadang
jadi nggak lucu. hehe.. peace :p Boleh sih
bangga, tapi jangan sampai kelewat fanatik
sempit sampai merendahkan bahasa lain.
Semua bahasa (terutama di Indonesia) itu
oke-oke, pengen deh suatu saat bisa
berbagai bahasa itu sebelum bisa berbagai
bahasa di seluruh dunia. hahaha, maniak
bahasa! yoben..
