Talk:Jawi script

Should Malaysia use Jawi Script?

I'm thinks yes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.80.58 (talk) 10:13, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

It's still alive in the religious schools, and in Johor, students write down notes in Islamic Education classes using Jawi. In some places road signs were written in Rumi and Jawi, but the Chinese DAP seems to object using Jawi for unknown reason. There was a suggestion that Jawi should be taught in schools and it received positive response even from MCA, but so far no effort could be seen towards making it a nationwide knowledge. I personally prefer to write Malay in Jawi because it's much faster and takes less space and letters. Alas, not many instances where I could use it :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.80.49 (talk) 16:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

It's still in use for Islamic Education classes in all public primary and secondary schools, and of course also in all religious schools as well. National examination papers for both Islamic Education and Malay Language could be answered in either scripts. Also, the official textbooks for Islamic Education in Malaysia is only printed in Jawi alphabets, it's usually external reference books which uses Latin alphabets. --MNH48 (talk) 20:41, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The Jawi alphabet is an Arabic-based writing system used to write the Malay language and several other Southeast Asian languages. This photograph shows an 1803 Netherlands Indies gulden silver rupee coin, minted at the Java Mint in the Dutch East Indies, featuring Jawi script; the image of the reverse (on the right) is inverted.
