title: Ja (Javanese)
text: # Ja (Javanese)
  
  ꦗ is a syllable in Javanese script that represents the sound /dʒɔ/, /dʒa/. It is transliterated to Latin as "ja" or "ya", and sometimes in Indonesian orthography as "jo" or "yo". It has another form (pasangan), which is ◌꧀ꦗ, but represented by a single Unicode code point, U+A997.
  
  ## Pasangan
  
  Its pasangan form ◌꧀ꦗ, is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. For example, ꦲꦤꦏ꧀ꦗꦫꦤ꧀ - anak jaran (little horse).
  
  ## Extended form
  
  The letter ꦗ doesn't have a murda form.
  
  Using cecak telu (ꦗ꦳), the syllable represents /z/.
  
  ꦗ with a cerek (ꦘ) is called Nya murda.
  
  ## Mahaprana
  
  Mahaprana letters were originally aspirated consonants used in Sanskrit and Kawi transliterations. However, there are no aspirated consonants in modern Javanese. The mahaprana form of ꦗ is ꦙ.
