	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Khojki
		Khojki was a special script adopted and used almost exclusively by the Khoja community of the Indian subcontinent.
		According to Ismaili tradition, the da‘i Pir Sadruddin was responsible for devising the Khojki script as a vehicle for preserving the community’s sacred literature.
		The Khojki materials that have survived are considerable, consisting of several hundred manuscripts, the vast majority of which contain ginan literature (the term ginan is believed to derive from the Sanskrit jnan or ‘knowledge’).

	The Institute of Ismaili Studies - Khojki Manuscripts
		Originating in the province of Sindh, Khojki belongs to the category of Landa or clipped scripts, which employ alphabets and vowel systems similar to other Indian mercantile scripts and the learned Nagari norms.
		The ginans are a vast corpus consisting of several hundred hymns or religious lyrics which have been a central part of religious life of the Nizari Ismaili Community in the Indian Subcontinent.
		Material evidence suggests that the tradition of copying can be traced back to several centuries earlier than the surviving manuscripts, which predominantly date from the 18th century CE onwards.
