Orkhon script
The Orkhon script is an ancient writing system used by the Turkic peoples in Central Asia during the 8th century. It was primarily found in inscriptions on monuments and stones, particularly in the Orkhon Valley of Mongolia. The script is significant for its role in documenting the early history and culture of the Turkic tribes.
This script is an alphabetic system, consisting of 38 characters that represent both consonants and vowels. The Orkhon inscriptions, such as those dedicated to the Göktürks, provide valuable insights into the language, society, and beliefs of the time, making the Orkhon script an essential part of Turkic heritage.
