<b>Description:</b>
 
Madurese is a language of the Madurese people of Madura Island and eastern Java, Indonesia; it is also spoken on Kangean Islands and Sapudi Islands. The Kangean dialect may be a separate language. It was traditionally written in the Javanese script, but the Latin alphabet is now more commonly used. The number of speakers, though shrinking, is estimated to be 8-13 million.
Madurese has more consonants than its neighboring languages due to it having voiceless unaspirated, voiceless aspirated, and voiced sounds. Similar to Javanese, it has a contrast between dental and alveolar (even retroflex) stops. Nouns are not inflected in gender and are pluralized via reduplication. Its basic word order is SVO. Negation is expressed by putting a negative particle before the verb, adjective or noun phrase. As with other similar languages there are different negative particles for different kinds of negation.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=366953 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
