Around the 5th century BCE, when northwestern India was under the control of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia, the Aramaic script, the official script of that dynasty, was improved with reference to the Brahmi script to create the Kharoshthi script, which was suitable for writing Indian languages. Inscriptions in this script have been discovered in northwestern India, but the Kharoshthi documents generally refer to secular documents written on wooden tablets, leather, silk cloth, paper, etc., excavated from Klorina (Loulan), Niya, and Endere in Central Asia. These documents include official documents such as orders, notices, reports, and court decisions, as well as letters between individuals.

西北インドがアケメネス朝ペルシアの支配下にあった前5世紀ころに,その王朝の公用文字であるアラム文字を,ブラーフミー文字を参考に改良し,インド語表記に適したカローシュティー文字がつくられた。西北インドにはこの文字による碑文も発見されているが,一般にカローシュティー文書というのは,中央アジアのクロライナ(楼蘭),ニヤ,エンデレから出土した木簡,皮,絹布,紙などに書かれた世俗文書を指す。これらの文書は命令書,通達書,報告書,判決文などの官庁書類や個人間の手紙を含む。
