The Mon–Burmese script (Burmese: မွန်မြန်မာအက္ခရာ; Mon: အက္ခရ်မန်ဗၟာ, listen ⓘ; also called the Mon script, Old Mon script and Burmese script) is an abugida that derives from the Pallava Grantha script of southern India and later of Southeast Asia.
Its writing style is very similar to the Dinaya inscription of 760 CE, written in Sanskrit, with the Kawi script of Old Java. Those inscriptions grammatically and linguistically belong to Old Mon. Old Mon is dated to around the 5th to the 12th century CE.
