The modern Malay alphabet (in Malaysia, Tulisan Rumi, literally "Rumi script" or "Rumi writing") consists of the 26 letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet without any diacritics. It is the more common of the two alphabets used today to write the Malay language, the other being Jawi (a modified Arabic script).
