Lesson plan
Buda script
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 Kawi script. This script was previously used on the island of Java (especially in West Java and Central Java) and Bali. The script is called the Buda script because it is considered to have originated from the pre-Islamic era which is called the Buddhist Age—the word Buda is based on the word Buddha. Manuscripts containing writing using the Buda script are commonly found in mountainous areas, hence the name Gunung, or mountain.
