The Choito-Tamir inscriptions (also called Hoyt Tamir texts or Taihar Rock writings) are inscriptions erected during Uyghur Khaganate period. According Louis Bazin, the inscriptions were erected between 753 and 756. There are over 200 inscriptions in the region, written in Old Uyghur and Chinese alphabets. The texts were found on Taihar rock. The rock is 39 meters high and located southeast from Hoyt Tamir river in Arkhangai Province of Mongolia.
