Thai

This script is written from left to write and was used from 1283 AD and is still used today. The alphabet is found in Thailand. The script is a syllabic alphabet that is based on the Brahmi script which was adapted to write Thai. The invention of the Thai script is credited to King Ramkhamhaeng who reigned from 1257 to 1317 and also might have an influence from the Khmer alphabet. The oldest Thai inscriptions found date back from 1283.
