Jawi alphabet
Jawi (جاوي; Acehnese: Jawoë; Kelantan-Pattani: Yawi) is a writing system used for writing several languages of Southeast Asia, such as Acehnese, Banjarese, Magindanawn, Malay, Mëranaw, Minangkabau, Tausūg, and Ternate. Jawi is based on the Arabic script, consisting of all 31 original Arabic letters, six letters constructed to fit phonemes native to Malay, and one additional phoneme used in foreign loanwords, but not found in Classical Arabic, which are ca, nga, pa, ga, va, and nya .
