ABSTRACT

As its name implies, the Khojki script is distinguished from several related but now virtually obsolete local scripts through its exclusive association with the Ismaili Khojas. It remained in general use in the community until the early decades of the twentieth century, continuing indeed to be taught in community schools in Pakistan as late as the early 1970s. From the earlier decades of the twentieth century, however, Khojki has largely been replaced by the Gujarati script for the printing of Ismaili literature.
