The Dunging script or Iban script is a semi-alphabetic script used to write the Iban language of Sarawak. It was invented in 1947 by Dunging Anak Gunggu (1904–1985), who revised the initial 77 glyphs to the current 59 glyphs in 1962. It has not been used widely. In 2012, Dr. Bromeley Philip of Universiti Teknologi MARA began to promote the script again.
