Sasak does not use in office or school as well as media

Indonesian is the national language and has been strongly imposed in many of the domains

Sasak has ancient orthography that is similar to Javanese (historically related). Most of the scripts can be found in the local museum and this orthography could be considered as endangered because it is not used anymore. In 1990s, it was taught at school but now, it has been decades that it is excluded from the local curriculum.
