Historically, Sundanese has been written using various scripts, including the Sundanese script, Carakan, Pegon, and the Latin alphabet. Before the colonial era, Sundanese was mainly written in the Old Sundanese script, or in other Indic-derived scripts such as Pallava and Kawi. With the expansion of Javanese kingdoms and the spread of Islam, the Old Sundanese script fell out of use and was replaced by Carakan (a Javanese-based script) and Pegon (an Arabic-based script). The Sundanese script was later reintroduced in the late 1990s as Aksara Sunda Baku (Standard Sundanese Script).
