Buda script
open-in-new
<p>Buda script, Aksara Buda, or Gunung script is an archaic script. Based on its shape, the Buda Script still has a close relationship with the <a href="/facts/Kawi_script/NXdMWyYz">Kawi script</a>. This script was previously used on the island of <a href="/facts/Java/2MNA2rLm">Java</a> (especially in <a href="/facts/West_Java/nLxcEXPF">West Java</a> and <a href="/facts/Central_Java/SECs9V0u">Central Java</a>) and <a href="/facts/Bali/ThlIdDeC">Bali</a>. This type of script is called the <i>Buda</i> script because it is considered to have originated from the pre-Islamic era which is called the Buddhist Age. The word <i>Buda</i> is based on the word <i><a href="/facts/Buddha/8UchTM1s">Buddha</a></i>. Manuscripts containing writing using the Buda script are commonly found in mountainous areas. Because of that, this type of script is also called the "Mountain script". </p>
