Kammavasanā script (ပန်းစာလုံး; Pan Salom) is an abugida writing system which developed in the 11th century and until the mid-20th century was used in an area from Burma and West Northern Thailand by the Burmese people, the historic inhabitants of the Buddhist Monastery, to write Burmese, Sanskrit and Pali. Nowadays it is also used in Buddhist monasteries in Burmese and Mon, especially in the Burmese Buddhist areas within Myanmar. It is normally written from left to right but it form is written from top to bottom. It is also considered to be the standard Pali-calligraphic script.
