Van Ophuijsen Spelling System
Obsolete Indonesian spelling system / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Van Ophuijsen Spelling System was the Romanized standard orthography for the Indonesian language from 1901 to 1947.[1] Before the Van Ophuijsen Spelling System was in force, the Malay language (and consequently Indonesian) in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) did not have a standardized spelling, or was written in the Jawi script. In 1947, the Van Ophuijsen Spelling System was replaced by the Republican Spelling System.
