This episode explores how the Sogdian script, born in the Zeravshan Valley, became the genetic ancestor of writing systems across East Asia. We trace the journey from Aramaic roots to the Uyghur alphabet and eventually the Mongolian and Manchu scripts that defined empires for centuries. Lucas and Luna examine the pivotal moment when Genghis Khan adopted the Sogdian-based script for his Yassa code, creating a unified administrative language for the largest contiguous land empire in history. Along the way, we look at specific figures like the scribes who translated laws and the political necessity of literacy in a nomadic society. The conversation also touches on the Khitan and Tangut attempts to create their own scripts, highlighting the cultural pressure exerted by Sogdian linguistic dominance. By the end, you will understand why a merchant’s cursive hand shaped the written word for millions of people across Eurasia. #SogdianScript #UyghurAlphabet #MongolianScript #ManchuScript #GenghisKhan #YassaCode #KhitaLanguage #TangutScript #AramaicAlphabet #KhuisTolgoi #SilkRoadHistory #CentralAsia #EurasianEmpires #LinguisticHistory #NomadicCulture #PaxMongolica #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
