The Kawi script or the Old Javanese script is a historic Brahmic script used across Maritime Southeast Asia between the 8th century and the 16th century. The Kawi corpus is especially abundant in Java, but materials in Kawi have also been found in Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Bali, Thailand, and the Philippines. The script is frequently used to write the Old Javanese language, but whole texts (or parts thereof) in Sanskrit, Old Malay, Old Balinese, Old Sundanese, and Old Khmer have also been found written in the Kawi script.
