This study examines Arabic-Malay or Jawi literacy on Bangka Island, focusing on its role in Islamic education, social communication, and the preservation of local culture. Using qualitative descriptive methods and literacy analysis, this research examines historical manuscripts and educational documents.
The results indicate that Jawi literacy has played a significant role in shaping the cultural identity of the Bangka community since the 19th century. Religious texts, such as books on Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and narrative works (hikayat), served as primary tools for teaching and disseminating knowledge. However, modernization and the shift to the Latin script in formal education have led to a decline in interest in this script.
