[a] The Semitic origin of the Brahmic scripts is not universally agreed upon.

The Ahom script or Tai Ahom Script is an abugida that is used to write the Ahom language, a dormant Tai language undergoing revival 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.[4] The old Ahom language today survives in the numerous manuscripts written in this script currently in institutional and private possession.
