Javanese script
The
Javanese script
, natively known as
Aksara Jawa
(ꦲꦏ꧀ꦱꦫꦗꦮ) and
Hanacaraka
, is an
abugida
developed by the
Javanese people
to write several
Austronesian languages
spoken in
Indonesia
, primarily the
Javanese language
and an early form of Javanese called
Kawi
, as well as
Sanskrit
, an
Indo-Aryan language
used as a
sacred language
throughout Asia. The Javanese script is a descendant of the
Brahmi script
and therefore has many similarities with the modern scripts of
South
and
Southeast Asia
. The Javanese script, along with the
Balinese script
, is considered the most elaborate and ornate among Brahmic scripts of Southeast Asia.
