The '''Ahom script''' or '''Tai Ahom Script''', is an [[abugida]] that is used to write the [[Ahom language]], a dead (but being revived) [[Tai language]] spoken by the [[Ahom people]] till the late 18th-century, who established the [[Ahom kingdom]] and ruled the eastern part of the [[Brahmaputra]] valley between the 13th and the 18th centuries.<ref name="Diller">Diller, A.

== History ==
The Ahom script was probably ultimately derived from the Indic, or [[Brahmi script]],<ref name="Diller" /> the root of almost all the Indic and Southeast Asian abugidas. It is probably of South Indic origin.<ref name="French">French, M. A. (1994). Tai Languages. In ''The Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics'' (Vol. 4, pp. 4520-4521). New York, NY: Pergamon Press Press.</ref> The Brahmi script spread in a peaceful manner, Indianization, or the spread of Indian learning. It spread naturally to Southeast Asia, at ports on trading routes.<ref name="Court">Court, C. (1996). Introduction. In P. T. Daniels & W. Bright (Eds.) ''The World's Writing Systems'' (pp. 443). Oxford: Oxford University Press.</ref> At these trading posts, ancient inscriptions have been found in Sanskrit, using scripts that originated in India. At first, inscriptions were made in Indian languages, but later the scripts were used to write the local Southeast Asian languages. Hereafter, local varieties of the scripts were developed. By the 8th century, the scripts had diverged and separated into regional scripts.<ref name="Spread">Court, C. (1996). The spread of Brahmi Script into Southeast Asia. In P. T. Daniels & W.

Like most abugidas, each letter has an inherent vowel of /a/.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2012/12309r-n4321r.pdf | title=N4321R: Revised Proposal to add the Ahom Script in the SMP of the UCS | first1=Martin | last1=Hosken | first2=Stephen | last2=Morey | publisher=ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 | date=2012-10-23 }}</ref> Other vowels are indicated by using [[diacritic]]s, which can appear above, below, to the left, or to the right of the consonant. The script does not, however, indicate tones used in the language.<ref name="Stars" /> The Ahom script is further complicated as it contains inconsistencies; a consonant may be written once in a word, but pronounced twice, common words may be shortened, and consecutive words with the same initial consonant may be contracted.<ref name="Stars" />
