This page offers basic guidance on typesetting a LaTeX document in the Avestan language using the Avestan script.

Support with ini locale file

Here is a minimal sample file with avestan as the main language (assuming luatex, which is the recommended engine, and babel ≥25.2, although it may work with previous versions).

\documentclass[avestan]{article}

\usepackage[provide=*,bidi=basic]{babel}

\babelfont{rm}{Noto Sans Avestan}

\begin{document}

Local name $=$ 𐬎𐬞𐬀𐬯𐬙𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬐𐬀𐬉𐬥𐬀

\end{document}

You may need download the font or replace it with another one in your system.
