The '''Soyombo script''' ({{langx|mn|Соёмбо бичиг, {{Script|Soyo|𑪁𑩖𑩻𑩖𑪌𑩰𑩖 𑩰𑩑𑩢𑩑𑪊}}|self-created holy letters}}) is an [[abugida]] developed by the monk and scholar [[Zanabazar]] in 1686 to write Mongolian. It can also be used to write [[Standard Tibetan|Tibetan]] and [[Sanskrit]].

A special character of the script, the [[Soyombo symbol]], became a national symbol of [[Mongolia]] and has appeared on the [[Flag of Mongolia|national flag]] and [[Emblem of Mongolia|emblem]] of Mongolia since 1911, as well as in money and postage stamps.
