Key Findings/Conclusion:  

Although Japanese and Javanese both have honorific levels and both as a negative politeness-oriented language. Due to cultural and social differences, the point of view of how they use hierarchical levels differs. In this study, significant findings also found that Javanese people think using honorific speech were polite. However, in Japanese, being polite means using Keigo and showing a good attitude and respect to the interlocutor.
