Religion becomes more complicated for the devout when the Word of God is revealed in a foreign tongue, and literacy becomes more complicated in a setting where different languages and different scripts are used for different purposes. The problems that arise are demonstrated nowhere so clearly as in Muslim schools in non-Arabic-speaking, multilingual societies — traditional Muslim schools in Java are a case in point. Not only is Arabic, written in Arabic script, the language all good Muslims must learn, but it has had to coexist with Javanese written in Javanese script, Javanese written in Arabic script, Arabic written in Javanese script, Malay written in Arabic script, and Indonesian written in Roman letters. In this paper, I will examine the function of Arabic and Arabic literacy in relation to different groups served by the schools and assess how the existence of these other languages and scripts affected the nature of the education offered therein.
