About the Sundanese Alphabet

The Sundanese script (Aksara Sunda) is an abugida used to write the Sundanese language, spoken in West Java, Indonesia. The script has ancient origins and was revived in modern times. It consists of basic consonants with inherent vowel sounds that can be modified with diacritics.

History

Aksara Sunda evolved from the Old Sundanese script, which itself came from the Pallava script of South India. The script fell into disuse during Dutch colonial rule but has been revived since Indonesian independence. It was added to Unicode in 2008 and is now taught in schools in West Java.
