About Avestan Alphabet
The Avestan alphabet is a writing system developed during Iran's Sassanid era to render the Avestan language. As a side effect of its development, the script was also used for Pazend, a method of writing Middle Persian that was used primarily for the Zend commentaries on the texts of the Avesta.
