The chronology of classical Malay texts is mostly far from clear, and is further muddied by the problems of variant versions, and the dating of manuscripts as opposed to the texts that the manuscripts contain. Notwithstanding these uncertainties, the table below follows the dating attributed to text in the chronological listing on the text page.
