Usage notes
As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Javanese", "writing about Javanese cuisine as a Javanese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Javanese") or with a word like person, man, or woman ("writing about Javanese cuisine as a Javanese person").
