Editing Javanese script (section)

===Additional letters in loan words ===
The Javanese script includes additional letters ({{langx|jv|{{Script|Java|ꦲꦏ꧀ꦱꦫ ꦫꦺꦏꦤ꧀}}|aksara rékan}} used to write foreign sounds.{{Sfn|Darusuprapta|2002|pp=16-17}} Initially developed to transcribe loanwords from [[Arabic]], they were later adapted for loanwords from [[Dutch language|Dutch]], and in contemporary use, they are also used to write words from [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] and [[English language|English]]. Most ''rékan'' characters are formed by adding the ''cecak telu'' diacritic to the character whose sound is considered closest to the foreign sound. For example, the ''rékan'' character fa (ꦥ꦳) is formed by adding the ''cecak telu'' to the ''wyanjana'' character pa (ꦥ). The combination of ''wyanjana'' and the foreign sound equivalent for each ''rékan'' may vary among writers due to the lack of a unified standard.
