The Avestan script is a right-to-left alphabet, especially designed to codify the pronunciation of the Avestan language of the prayers, sacred traditions, hymns etc. of the Zoroastrian religion. It is based on the Pahlavi script, but unlike it in many respects: Avestan letters are not connected, and whereas the Pahlavi writing system is ambiguous in many ways (it does not record vowels, and several consonantal signs are polyvalent, i.e., signify more than one consonant), the Avestan script has signs for every phoneme of the Avestan language (and of the Pahlavi Middle Persian language); indeed, some think the script is not only phonemic but phonetic to some degree. This accords well with the presumed purpose of the invention of the script, namely to record and thereby ensure the proper pronunciation of the already 1,500 year old religious utterances which had up to that point been orally transmitted. The languages that can be written in this script: Avestan (also Young Avestan) and Middle Persian (Pahlavicalled Pazend or Pāzand when written in Avestan script).
