Khojki
Khojki (, (シンド語:خوجڪي) (Perso Arabic) खोजकी (Devanagari) ) or Khojiki was a script used almost exclusively by the Khoja community of parts of South Asia such as Sindh. The name "Khojki" is derived from the Persian word, 'khwajah', which means 'master', or 'lord'. It was employed primarily to record Muslim Shia Ismaili religious literature, as well as literature for a few secret Shia Muslim sects. It is one of the two Landa scripts used for liturgy (the other being Gurmukhi).
==History==
The (Nizari Ismaili) tradition states that Khojki was created by Pir Sadardin (da‘i Pir Sadruddin). He was sent by the Ismaili Imam of the time to spread the Ismaili Muslim faith in South Asia/Jambudvipa. He did this by singing and teaching Ismaili Muslim Ginans (literally translates to "knowledge", a word for devotional and religious literature). He then wrote them down in Khojki.
Khojki is a Brahmi-based script of the Sindhi branch of the Landa family, which is a class of mercantile scripts related to Sharada. It is considered to be a refined version of the Lohānākī script (Khudabadi script) that was developed as a liturgical script for recording Ismaili literature. Popular Nizari Ismaili tradition states that Khojki was invented and propagated by Pir Sadruddin (Ṣadr al-Dīn), an Ismaili missionary actively working with the Lohānākī community. Khojki is one of two Landa scripts that were developed into formal liturgical scripts for use by religious communities; the other is Gurmukhi, which was developed for writing the sacred literature of the Sikh tradition. Khojki is also called ‘Sindhi’ and ‘Khwajah Sindhi’. The script had been used from the early 16th century through the early 20th century, and it continues to be taught and used by Ismaili communities in India, Pakistan, and diaspora (esp. in East Africa). The script was typeset in 1903 by Laljibhai Devraj at his Khoja Sindhi Printing Press in Bombay. Some script reforms occurred in the 1930s to mirror phonological changes occurring in the language used.
