The Chorasmian script is an indigenous script that was derived from Imperial Aramaic.
It was used for writing the now-extinct Chorasmian language between the 2nd century BCE and the 8th-9th century CE, after which time the Chorasmian language was written using the Arabic script.
Chorasmian is a cursive joining abjad written from right to left, made up of 21 letters and 7 numbers. Letters are classified as dual-joining, right-joining, and non-joining. Dual-joining and right-joining letters have contextual shapes that are determined by adjacent letters.
