Reference for Megillah 16:19

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> אין בין ספרים לתפלין ומזוזות אלא שהספרים נכתבין בכל לשון ותפלין ומזוזות אינן נכתבות אלא אשורית

Mishnah. There is no difference between scrolls, tefillin, and mezuzahs except that scrolls may be written in any language, while tefillin and mezuzahs may not be written [in anything] but Assyrian script (i.e., Hebrew). (Assyrian script is the familiar Hebrew square character script. -- trans.)
