have been blocked you can view and copy the source of this page origins of the script it is believed that the ahom people adopted their script from either mon burmese script old mon or old burmese in upper myanmar this is supported based on similar shapes of characters between ahom and old mon and old burmese scripts it is clear however that the script and language would have changed during the few hundred years it was in use ref name stars more recent research suggests that the development and adoption of the tai ahom script in assam occurred later than traditionally assumed while ahom traditions associate the script with the migration of sukaphaa in the 13th century linguistic and epigraphic evidence indicate that the script likely emerged within the wider tai shan cultural sphere in the late 14th or early 16th century and was subsequently introduced or adapted in assam ref name auto the earliest surviving ahom inscription the snake pillar inscription dates only to the early 16th century suggesting that the widespread use and standardisation of the script in the ahom kingdom took place during the late medieval period ref name auto1 the lik tai script featured on a 1407 ming dynasty scroll exhibits many features of the burmese script including fourteen of the nineteen consonants three medial diacritics and the high tone marker according to the scholar daniels this shows that the tai borrowed from the burmese script to create their own script the lik tai script was derived from the burmese script as it could only have been created by someone proficient in burmese daniels also argues that unlike previously thought the lik tho ngok script is not the origin of the other lik tai scripts as the 1407 lik tai script shows greater similarity to the ahom script which has been attested earlier than the lik tho ngok script sfn daniels 2012 p 170 171 other lik scripts are used for the khamti language khamti phake language phake aiton language aiton and tai nuea language s as well as for other tai languages across northern myanmar and assam in northeast india the lik scripts have a limited inventory of 16 to 18 consonant symbols compared to the tai tham script which possibly indicates that the scripts were not developed for writing pali ref name manuscripts citation last1 hundius first1 harald last2 wharton first2 david title the digital library of
