Old Uyghur writing developed from Sogdian cursive writing, and its known repertoire is based on 9th-century documents. Its punctuation tradition connects with Sogdian and Manichaean writing. Some Manichaean manuscripts place punctuation around sacred terms. Old Uyghur later became the source of Mongolian script.
