Javanese Oceanians (Napoleon's World)

Javanese Oceanians are Oceanians of Javanese descent. The term refers exclusively to the descendants of Javanese-speaking immigrants, who began arriving in large numbers following the ending of racial quotas in the 1970s and the Java Crisis of 1980. As of the 2012 census, there are approximately 2.1 million Javanese, primarily in North Australia, Moluccas and New Guinea, with a substantial population in Sydney and Melbourne as well. It is the largest East Indian ethnic group in Oceania today.
