Balti-B Balti-B

The Balti-B script was used to write Balti, a Tibetic language spoken in Baltistan in Pakistan and Ladakh in India. It is thought that a man known only as Farhat created the script, and his grandson used it in the manuscript "The Story of the Creation of Shigar". No other records of the script are known.
