So, the script has been adapted by using the vowel diacritics in conjuncton with و ,ي , and ا to fully represent the vowels of Javan languages. The prevalence of diacritic marking in Pegon varies from marking every letter, to being present only to differentiate particular vowel sounds. A version of the script which uses few diacritics,

The orthographic rules of Jawi and Pegon differ, with Jawi spelling being much more standardised than Pegon. Pegon tends to write all vowel sounds of native words explicitly, either with full letters or diacritics, whereas Jawi spelling sometimes omits alif in certain positions where an /a/ would be pronounced, and other vowel sounds may not be written explicitly. For those additional letters representing sounds not present in Arabic, some letters have

This can further be seen later on when
