Description:
This book presents the latest research on Brahmi script and its evolution into modern Indian scripts. It integrates historical palaeography and linguistic analysis, making it the first work to bridge both disciplines.
The palaeographic section covers key issues, such as:
- The decipherment of the Indus Valley script
- The origin and evolution of Brahmi (debating whether it emerged in the Mauryan era or earlier)
- Modern palaeographic techniques for script classification
The linguistic section explores:
- The Vedic phonetic roots of the aksara (syllabic unit)
- How Brahmi functioned as a generative writing system
- The linguistic history of India through its scripts
This book is essential for palaeographers, epigraphists, linguists, and computational researchers, providing fresh insights into India's script history and linguistic traditions.
