Abstract
The Javanese language uses unique speech levels and distinct speech codes, reflecting Indonesia's slightly varied customs of politeness. The Javanese phrase politeness rules refer to the customary politeness of Javanese people. This study aims to identify the impact of social class on producing Javanese language variation. It uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, a study document, and in-depth interviews to collect data. The research instruments are a questionnaire and transcript of a WhatsApp conversation between two Javanese people; the findings of this research are that Social class will not affect the use of Javanese language variation if the interlocutor is of a different culture or ethnicity. The study results show that communication with the "Krama" style has a high percentage of Javanese language variation. The conclusion is that Education and social class are the factors that most often influence language variation, especially in language styles with higher politeness.
