On the invention time of the Mongolian script

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to clarity the attempt for invention time of the Mongolian script on the materials in the “Hor-chos-'byun” (“History of Buddhism in Mongolia") by Sh.Damdin, Mongolian historian (named Zawaa), in comparison with feature of the Written Mongolian.

Based on the evidence of afore-named Tibetan source the following hypothetical supposition can be brought concerning the origin of the Mongolian Script: The Mongols did not adopt the Sogdian script through the Uighur in the 13^th century, but the Mongols and the Uighur simultaneously adopted it from the Sogdian, much earlier, that is, approximately, in the 6^th -7^th centuries.
