The Cham script is a historical script used to write the Cham language, spoken by the Cham people, primarily in Vietnam. It is a descendant of the Indian Brahmi script and shares similarities with other South Indian scripts like Tamil and Malayalam. The Cham script is characterized by its distinctive style, featuring elongated letters with intricate decorative elements. It was used for writing various texts, including religious, literary, and historical works. However, due to the influence of Vietnamese culture and the rise of the Vietnamese writing system, the Cham script gradually fell into disuse. Today, the Cham script is primarily studied by scholars and linguists interested in historical and cultural preservation. Efforts are being made to revive and promote its use among the Cham community, but it remains a challenging task given the limited number of speakers and the lack of widespread resources.
