Psalter alphabet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Psalter alphabet is an abjad which was used for writing Middle Persian on paper, it is thus described as one of the Pahlavi scripts.[1] It was written right to left with dots for word division.[2]
It takes its name from the Pahlavi Psalter, part of the Psalms translated from Syriac to Middle Persian and found in what is now western China.[3]
