The Old Turkic script, also called the Orkhon script, is the earliest known writing system used to represent the Old Turkic language. It dates back to around the 8th century CE and is named after the Orkhon Valley in Mongolia, where the most famous inscriptions were found.
It’s one of the oldest alphabets created by Turkic peoples and was carved into stone monuments, memorial stelae, and sometimes wood or metal.
This writing system was later used within the Uyghur Khaganate. Additionally, a Yenisei variant is known from 9th-century Yenisei Kyrgyz inscriptions, and it has likely cousins in the Talas Valley of Turkestan and the Old Hungarian alphabet of the 10th century.
