Mesoamerican scripts refer to the writing systems used by ancient civilizations in the Mesoamerican region, including the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec. These scripts were primarily logographic, meaning they used symbols to represent words or concepts. The most well-known of these is the Maya script, which combines logograms and syllabic signs, allowing for complex expressions of language. These writing systems were used for various purposes, such as recording historical events, religious texts, and administrative records. The deciphering of these scripts, particularly the Maya glyphs, has provided valuable insights into the cultures, beliefs, and histories of these ancient societies.
