[3][4] Other remains documenting the use of Old Sundanese are palm-leaf manuscripts from the Bandung, Garut, and Bogor regions.

[16] Another characteristic feature is the use of ma particles which can act as reinforcement for previous phrases or clauses.

In sentence construction, the particle ma functions as a marker that separates the clauses, and serves to introduce new information.

Old Sundanese script usually can be found on the inscriptions describing important events that occurred in the Sundanese region, while the Buda script is widely used to write things that have a high level of sacredness in lontar or gebang manuscripts.

[4] "nihan tapak walar nu sang hyang mulia tapa(k) inya parĕbu raja wastu mangadĕg di kuta kawali nu mahayu na kadatuan surawisesa nu marigi sakuliling dayĕh najur sakala desa aya ma nu pa(n)deuri pakĕna gawe rahayu pakĕn hĕbĕl jaya dina buana" Translation: These are the traces (tapak) (in) Kawali (of) the hometown of His Majesty King Wastu (who) established the defense (reigned in) Kawali, who had beautified the Surawisesa palace, which made a defensive trench around the royal territory, which prospered the whole settlement.

The old Sundanese language used in lontar and gebang manuscripts can be distinguished based on the form of the text, namely poetry and prose.

[9][15][16] Some of the ancient Sundanese manuscripts that contain texts in the form of poetry include Sewaka Darma,[20] Carita Purnawijaya,[21] Bujangga Manik, Sri Ajnyana,[9] Kawih Pangeuyeukan[22] and Sanghyang Swawarcinta.
