Tangut writing served Western Xia
Tangut writing developed in Western Xia around 1036 to record the Tangut language and translate Chinese works. Western Xia was a Tangut state in what is now northwestern China. The script drew on Chinese writing practices and served government and Buddhist texts.
The script also appears on Buddhist dhāraṇī pillars dated to 1502—stone columns inscribed with sacred formulas.
