===Use for Avestan=== {{unreferenced section|date=April 2025}} The [[Zoroastrians]] of India, who represent one of the largest surviving Zoroastrian communities worldwide, would transcribe Avestan in [[Nāgarī script|Nagri script]]-based scripts as well as the [[Avestan alphabet]]. This is a relatively recent development first seen in the {{Circa|12th century}} texts of Neryosang Dhaval and other Parsi Sanskritist theologians of that era, and which are roughly contemporary with the oldest surviving manuscripts in Avestan script. Today, Avestan is most commonly typeset in Gujarati script ([[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] being the traditional language of the Indian Zoroastrians). Some Avestan letters with no corresponding symbol are synthesized with additional diacritical marks, for example, the /z/ in ''zaraθuštra'' is written with /j/ + dot below.
