Ulu scripts
- Latin (Van Ophuijsen, Suwandi, EYD)
The Ulu scripts, locally known as Surat Ulu ('upstream script') are a family of writing systems found in the regions of Kerinci, Bengkulu, Palembang and Lampung, in central and south Sumatra, Indonesia. They were used to write manuscripts in Malay and other Sumatran languages. The Malay writing was gradually replaced by the Jawi script, a localized version of the Arabic script.
