Is Tangut Chinese, or a separate script?
No. Tangut is a distinct script for the Tangut language.
The forms drew on Chinese and Khitan writing, but Tangut recorded its own language. Western Xia used the script for government records, law, and a Buddhist canon—a collection of Buddhist scriptures—and for translations from Chinese. Later texts kept it in use after Western Xia fell, before it became obsolete.
