Chữ khoa đẩu is a doubtful[dubious ] obsolete script for the Vietnamese language. It is supposed to have been used in the Hồng Bàng period, and it is believed to have disappeared later during the Chinese domination of Vietnam. However, the term "chữ khoa đẩu" itself comes from "tadpole script" (Chinese: 蝌蚪字; pinyin: kēdǒu zì) in Chinese texts produced in Vietnam while the ones produced elsewhere refers to kēdǒu zì as variants of the ancient Chinese characters.[clarification needed]
"Chữ khoa đẩu" is also consideredTemplate:Weaselinline a distinct Muong language script similar to Thai alphabet and Lao alphabet. The script has 30 basic consonant signs.[1] In 2013, a book by Đỗ Văn Xuyền was published in which he claimed to have deciphered "chữ khoa đẩu" used by the Vietnamese ancient.[2] However, Xuyền's claim, like the earlier ones by Bửu Cầm or Lê Trọng Khánh, lacks of scientific basis,[3] and the script is indeed based on the Brahmic scripts used by Tai peoples in Vietnam.[4]
