proto brahmi script

One of the biggest mysteries of ancient India is regarding the language spoken by the Harappans. I hope the ASI makes this information public. This is a hard problem compared to the deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics and cuneiform because A palm leaf manuscript discovered from Harappan site in Afghanistan has strengthened the belief of existence of a proto Brahmi script, which was used by Indus Valley people. Let me quote from one of my earlier postsIn 1934, G. R Hunter concluded that Brahmi was derived from Indus script.

The Lalitavistara Sūtra states that young Siddhartha, the future Buddha(~500 BCE), mastered philology, Brahmi and other scripts from Brahmin Lipikara and Deva Vidyasinha at a school. The Brahmi script is mentioned in the ancient Indian texts of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, as well as their Chinese translations. One theory suggests that texts which were written for the local population, like the sign board found in Dholavira, were written from left to right, while trade seals were written from right to left to be in sync with the writing in Sumer and Akkad[8] [While earlier theories suggest that the direction of writing changed based on the destination, this article suggests that a century before the decline of the civilization, the direction changed permanently.During the mature Harappan period (2700 BC to 2000 BC) the direction of Harappan writing system was right to left and later on around 2000 to 1500 BC they started their writing system from left to right. Another issue with the Indus script is that they are very short, but the article claims that the manuscript has longer text. For example, the Lipisala samdarshana parivarta lists 64 lipi (scripts), with the Brahmi script starting the list.

The article does not mention the age of the manuscript and how it survived over 5000 years without destruction; a picture of the writing would be really helpful. In the late 19th century, Georg Bühler advanced the idea that Brahmi was derived from the Semitic script and adapted by the Brahman scholars to suit the phonetic of Sanskrit and Prakrit. To folks who have been doing mathematical analysis on the script, the longer text would be valuable. There are also some samples which are boustrophedonic (left to right followed by right to left)[1]. To folks who have been doing mathematical analysis on the script, the longer text would be valuable. Also among the ten most common signs of Indus and Brahmi there is striking similarity between four of five signs[6][Another interesting aspect of the Harappan script is the direction in which it is written. The Gupta script was descended from Brāhmī and gave rise to the Nāgarī, Śāradā and Siddhaṃ scripts. The article does not mention the age of the manuscript and how it survived over 5000 years without destruction; a picture of the writing would be really helpful. John E Mitchiner looked at the one particular feature of the Indus script — the case endings — and concluded that it could not be Elamite or Dravidian, but only Indo-European[6].Taking this further, Subhash Kak did a mathematical analysis of the Indus script and the oldest Indian script – Brahmi. When a table containing the ten most commonly occurring Sanskrit phonemes (from ten thousand words), was compared to the ten most commonly occurring Indus symbols and there was a convincing similarity, even though Brahmi was a millennium after the Indus script. The arrival of Aryan tribes into the sub-continent might have triggered this in some fashion. I spend lot of time reading about the topics I write about and most of the information comes from books or papers.
