The Batak script is a writing system used by the Batak people of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is a syllabic script, meaning that each character represents a syllable. The script is believed to have originated in the 9th century AD and was used until the Dutch colonial period. Batak script is written horizontally from left to right. It is composed of individual characters, each representing a syllable. The characters are based on the Sanskrit alphabet, with some modifications. Batak script was used to write a variety of texts, including religious texts, historical chronicles, and literature. However, with the arrival of the Dutch, the use of Batak script declined. Today, Batak script is primarily used for ceremonial purposes and is being revitalized by some Batak communities.
