islam portal v t e prior to the onset of islamisation the pallava script nagari and old sumatran scripts were used in writing the malay language this is evidenced from the discovery of several stone inscriptions in old malay notably the kedukan bukit inscription and talang tuo inscription the spread of islam in southeast asia and the subsequent introduction of arabic writing system began with the arrival of muslim merchants in the region since the seventh century among the oldest archaeological artefacts inscribed with arabic script are a tombstone of syeikh rukunuddin dated 48 ah 668 669 ce

gresik east java dated 475 ah 1082 ce 13 14 islam was spread from the coasts to the interior of the island and generally in a top down process in which rulers were converted and then introduced more or less orthodox versions of islam to their peoples the conversion of king phra ong mahawangsa of kedah in 1136 and king merah silu of samudra pasai in 1267 were among the earliest examples at the early stage of islamisation the arabic script was taught to the people who had newly embraced islam in the form of religious practices such as the recitation of quran as well as salat the arabic script was accepted by the malay community together with their acceptance of islam and was adapted to suit spoken classical malay six letters were added for sounds not found in arabic ca pa ga nga va and nya some arabic letters are rarely used as they represent sounds not present in modern malay however may be used to reflect the original spelling of arabic loanwords the sounds represented by these letters may be assimilated into sounds found in malay s native phoneme inventory or in some instances appear unchanged like the other arabic scripts some letters are obligatorily joined while some are never joined 15 16 this was the same for the acceptance of arabic writing in turkey persia and india which had taken place earlier and thus the jawi script was then deemed as the writing of the muslims 17 the oldest remains of malay using the jawi script have been found on the terengganu inscription stone dated 702 ah 1303 ce nearly 600 years after the date of the first recorded existence of arabic script in the region the inscription on the stone contains a proclamation issued by the sri paduka tuan of terengganu urging his subjects to extend and uphold islam and providing 10 basic sharia laws for their guidance this has attested the strong observance of the muslim faith in the early 14th century terengganu specifically and the malay world as a whole 13 the development of jawi script was different from that of pallava writing which was exclusively restricted to the nobility and monks in monasteries the jawi script was embraced by the entire muslim community regardless of class with the increased intensity in the appreciation of islam scriptures originally written in arabic were translated in malay and written in the jawi script additionally local religious scholars later began to elucidate the islamic teachings in the forms of original writings moreover there were also individuals of the community who used jawi for the writing of literature which previously existed and spread orally with this inclusion of written literature malay literature took on a more sophisticated form this was believed to have taken place from the 15th century and lasted right up to the 19th century 17 other forms of arabic based scripts existed in the region notably the pegon alphabet used for javanese in java and the serang alphabet used for buginese in south sulawesi both writing systems applied extensive use of arabic diacritics and added several letters which were formed differently from jawi letters to suit the languages due to their fairly limited usage the spelling system of both scripts did not undergo similar advanced developments and modifications as experienced by jawi 18 the spread and extent of jawi script edit part of a series on

malay culture and civilisation used not only amongst the ruling class but also the common people the islamisation and malayisation of the region popularised jawi into a dominant script 23 examples of royal correspondences in jawi are the letter between sultan hayat of ternate and king john iii of portugal 1521 the letter from sultan iskandar muda of acèh darussalam to king james i of england 1615 and the letter from sultan abdul jalil iv of johor to king louis xv of france 1719 23 many literary works such as epics poetry and prose use the jawi script historical epics such as the malay annals as listed by unesco under memories of the world are among the countless epics written by the malay people the sufic poems by hamzah fansuri and many others contributed to the richness and depth of the

malaysia saw the development of a wide range of jawi literature the primary topics of jawi books were religious and political from the 1940s to the 1960s erotica picisan began to be printed in jawi although many authors later switched to rumi 25 a 1954 meeting of the kongres bahasa ms saw rumi officially adopted as a malay script alongside jawi in the federation of malaya and government policy over the next few decades favoured rumi in education resulting in jawi literacy becoming less common jawi was removed from the national curriculum in the mid 1980s 26 as the public educational system stopped producing jawi texts jawi literature printed by private companies became dominant most privately produced jawi textbooks were targeted at islamic schools and their contents were more conservative than in the former public school textbooks this shift in usage led to jawi becoming closely associated with islam and malay identity with rumi replacing its use for non religious purposes over time the use of jawi in malaysia became a sensitive issue some view attempts to promote jawi as islamisation or malay chauvinism conversely some view jawi as a religious script that should not be used by non muslims 26 jawi today edit street name signs in shah alam malaysia include both jawi and latin script a similarly biscriptal street sign in johor bahru a supermarket in brunei with jawi

minecraft 28 29 sweden in malaysia edit in august 2019 the malaysian government s plans to introduce the teaching of jawi at the most basic level in ethnic chinese and tamil vernacular schools attracted opposition from ethnic chinese and indian education groups which claimed that the move would lead to an islamization of the malaysian education system 30 31 32 the chinese educationist group dong jiao zong organised a conference calling on the malaysian government to rescind its decision in late december 2019 perhaps fearing violence the royal malaysia police obtained a court injunction against it on the grounds it would trigger ethnic tensions 33 34 the state government of kedah in malaysia has long defended the use of jawi in the state 35 36 37 the menteri besar of kedah has denied the allegation that the state government was trying to create an islamic state ambience by promoting the use of jawi in 2008 saying that it is a normal occurrence evidenced by chinese coffeeshops and
