Jawi is one of the two official scripts in [[Brunei]] and [[Malaysia]] as the script for the Malay language. Usage wise, it was the standard script for the Malay language but has since been replaced by a [[Latin alphabet|Roman script]] called ''[[Malay alphabet|Rumi]]'', and Jawi has since been relegated to a script used for religious and cultural purposes. Day-to-day usage of Jawi is maintained in more conservative Malay-populated areas such as [[Pattani]] in [[Thailand]] and [[Kelantan]] in Malaysia.<ref>{{cite book|title=Language and National Identity in Asia|author=Andrew Alexander Simpson|origyear=2007|pages=356–60|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|isbn=0199267480}}</ref>
