The Tangut script wrote the Tangut language and was created in 1036 for the Xixia (Western Xia) state, alongside plans for a collection of Buddhist scriptures. Its design drew on Chinese writing and the scripts of neighboring Khitan peoples. A manuscript from the ruins of Khara-khoto probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century.
