==Comparison with Balinese== The closest relative of the Javanese script is the [[Balinese script]]. As a direct descendant of the [[Kawi script]], Javanese and Balinese scripts still share many similarities in the basic structure of each letter. One striking difference between Javanese and Balinese scripts is the writing system; the Balinese writing system tends to be more conservative and retains many aspects of Kawi orthography that are no longer used in Javanese script. For example, the word "''desa''" in Javanese script is now written as ꦢꦺꦱ. {| class="wikitable" |+ Some Javanese letters and their Balinese equivalents |- class="letters-violet letters-lo" |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦲ|top=ha}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦤ|top=na}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦕ|top=ca}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦫ|top=ra}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦏ|top=ka}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦄ|top=a}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦄ|top=ā}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦆ|top=i}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦇ|top=ī}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦈ|top=u}} |{{letter|l=jv|s=Java|ch=ꦈꦴ|top=ū}} |-class="letters-pink letters-lo" |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬳ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬦ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬘ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬭ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬓ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬅ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬆ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬇ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬈ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬉ}} |{{letter|l=ban|s=Bali|ch=ᬊ}} |}
