This paper provides an insight into linguistic politeness use in bilingualism context, of Indonesian and Javanese languages in the Javanese environmental community. Both Javanese and Indonesian languages significantly shape the daily communicative needs of the Indonesian people living in the Javanese environment. The Javanese language is identical with its politeness sense and rules, it is as widely known for the level of politeness use so called krama. It is realized, that Indonesian is commonly used by some people of Javanese community in everyday conversation, either in the outside community or family environment. Javanese karma speech levels plays a great role in Indonesian language conversation, it is realized in code mixing forms, thus karma vocabulary often time used in everyday language contact, it is assumed as both easier and simpler. Certain polite expression use normally found at the time a speaker making a conversation to his/her speaking counterparts, both speakers ling
uistically incline to honoring each other. In contrast, speech level use of "honor" in essence may not always be aimed at the speakers themselves. The use of Javanese krama in Indonesian conversation reflects some universal values, such as peace, humility, honor, compassion, and others.
