Ancient Kamarupi script (ancient Kamrupi script, ancient Assamese script) was the script used in ancient Kamarupa from as early as 5th century to 12th century, from which the Proto-Assamese script and then the Assamese script eventually evolved. In the development of the Assamese script, this phase was followed by the medieval and then by the modern Assamese scripts.
Though the script development was in general agreement with the development in Bengal and Bihar, it had local peculiarities. The angular and calligraphic style of writing prevalent to its west is not found in this development.
