The Avestan alphabet is a written-right-to-left system developed from [BLOCK:Imperial-Aramaic Aramaic] during Iran's Sassanid era (AD 226–651) to record the Avestan language. Avestan was capable of expressing the variety of vowels, however it wasn't quite a useful option.

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. In the texts of Zoroastrian tradition, the alphabet is referred to as din dabireh or din dabiri, Middle Persian for "the religion's script".
