It is a fact that most Javanese children who were born in Jakarta are unable to speak Javanese language. This research aims to explore the Javanese parents’ perceptions on the teaching of Javanese language to their Jakarta-born children. It is also intended to find out the main factors that inhibit the teaching of Javanese language to the Javanase children who were born in Jakarta and its surrounding areas. In this research, a questionnaire was employed to collect data. The respondents were Javanese parents who come from several districts in the provinces of Central Java, East Java and Yogyakarta. Many of them have lived in Jakarta and its surrounding areas for more than fifteen years. They were composed of fifty (49) males and thirty-five (36) females, including government employees, private employees, businessmen, teachers, lecturers, and pensioners. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents on a random basis by electronic and direct systems. They were asked to respond to a number of statements by clicking (v) the column which best described their opinions on the ground of the four-point Likert scale. The findings of the research suggest that most of the Javanese parents showed positive perceptions on the teaching of Javanese language to their Jakarta-born children. The main factors that inhibited Javanese parents from teaching Javanese language to their Jakarta-born children were parents’ ignorance, the uninterested attitude of the children towards Javanese language, and the preference of communities, schools, and environments to use Indonesian language as a daily means of communication. The influence of external and local cultures that required the use of Indonesian language was also regarded as the inhibiting factor. In addition, homes, family meetings, communities, schools, traditional and ceremonial events, and work places were considered as the most appropriate places for the teaching of Javanese language to the Javanese children who were born in Jakarta.
