The Ancient Turkic runic script (also known as Orkhon-Yenisey script) is the alphabet used across the Middle Asia, by the Kokturk (Göktürk) and other early Turkic Khanates. The paleographic analysis of the Ancient Turkic runes, in turn, leads to a conclusion about very early forming date for the Turkic runic alphabet in Southern Siberia, not later than the middle of the 1st millennium BC.
Orkhon-Yenisey script served the united official language (above dialectic - Koyne) of that time. The alphabet of classic period of Orkhon type consisted of 38 letter and space sign. However totally, considering regional and chronological variation there is above 50 graphemes. It was writing horizontally from right to the left.
The first information about monuments of Turkic sprit was obtained during Czar Peter I. The beginning of scientific study of Turkic runic epigraphy was found in the end of 19-th century. 25 November 1893 the script was decrypted by Danish linguist Vilhelm Tomsen. The first recognized word was -- Tengri (God).

The Old Turkic script (also known as variously Göktürk script, Orkhon script, Orkhon-Yenisey script) is the alphabet used by the Göktürk and other early Turkic Khanates during the 8th to 10th centuries to record the Old Turkic language
Orkhon inscriptions @ [ Ссылка ]
Before the Orkhon Inscriptions were deciphered by Vilhelm Thomsen, very little was known about Turkic script. The scripts are the oldest form of a Turkic language to be preserved. When the Orkhon inscriptions were first discovered, it was obvious that they were a runic type of script that had been discovered at other sites, but these versions also had a clear form, similar to an alphabet. When Vilhelm Thomsen deciphered the translation it was a huge stepping stone in understanding old Turkic script. The inscriptions provided much of the foundation for translating other Turkish writings. The scripts follow an alphabetical form, but also appear have strong influences of rune carvings. The inscriptions are a great example of early signs of nomadic society's transitions from use of runes to a uniform alphabet, and influenced that of the Uighur script and Sogdian language.
