[4] The old Ahom language today survives in the numerous manuscripts written in this script currently in institutional and private possession.

It is believed that the Ahom people adopted their script from either Old Mon or Old Burmese, in Upper Myanmar before migrating to the Brahmaputra Valley in the 13th century.

This is supported based on similar shapes of characters between Ahom and Old Mon and Old Burmese scripts.

[6] The earliest coins minted in the Ahom script and language were made during the reign of Subinphaa (1281-1293 AD).

The manuscripts were reportedly traditionally produced on paper prepared from agarwood (locally known as sachi) bark.
