Javanese script

Javanese script is the script that Javanese is originally written in (not to be confused with Javascript, which is a programming language). It consists of 20 main consonants with an inherent vowel a (also known as Abugida writing system).

The twenty consonants are: ha, na, ca, ra, ka da, ta, sa, wa, la pa, dha, ja, ya, nya ma, ga, ba, tha, nga

Interestingly, the script itself is a poem, whose line-by-line translation is as follows:

There (were/was) warriors (They) had animosity (among each other) (They were) equally powerful (in fight) Both (were) dead.
