The '''Ahom script''' or '''Tai Ahom Script''' is an [[abugida]] that is used to write the [[Ahom language]], a dormant [[Tai language]] undergoing revival spoken by the [[Ahom people]] till the late 18th-century, who established the [[Ahom kingdom]] and ruled the eastern part of the [[Brahmaputra]] valley between the 13th and the 18th centuries.<ref name="Diller">Diller, A.
