TheBrahmi script and its descendants

TheBrahmic scripts, also known asIndic scripts, are a family ofabugidawriting systems. They are descended from theBrahmi script ofancient India and are used by various languages in several language families inSouth,East andSoutheast Asia:Indo-Aryan,Dravidian,Tibeto-Burman,Mongolic,Austroasiatic,Austronesian, andTai. They were also the source of thedictionary order (gojūon) ofJapanesekana.[1]

History

[edit]

Brahmic scripts descended from theBrahmi script. Brahmi is clearly attested from the 3rd century BCE during the reign ofAshoka, who used the scriptfor imperial edicts. Northern Brahmi gave rise to theGupta script during theGupta period, which in turn diversified into a number of cursives during themedieval period. Notable examples of such medieval scripts, developed by the 7th or 8th century, includeNagari,Siddham andSharada.

TheSiddhaṃ script was especially important inBuddhism, as manysutras were written in it. The art of Siddhamcalligraphy survives today inJapan. The tabular presentation anddictionary order of the modernkana system of Japanese writing is believed to be descended from the Indic scripts, most likely through thespread of Buddhism.[1]

Southern Brahmi evolved into theKadamba,Pallava andVatteluttu scripts, which in turn diversified into other scripts of South India and Southeast Asia. Brahmic scripts spread in a peaceful manner,Indianization, or the spread of Indian learning. The scripts spread naturally to Southeast Asia, at ports on trading routes.[2] At these trading posts, ancient inscriptions have been found in Sanskrit, using scripts that originated in India. At first, inscriptions were made in Indian languages, but later the scripts were used to write the local Southeast Asian languages. Hereafter, local varieties of the scripts were developed. By the 8th century, the scripts had diverged and separated into regional scripts.[3]

Punctuation

Below are comparison charts of several of the major Indic scripts, organised on the principle that glyphs in the same column all derive from the same Brahmi glyph. Accordingly:

  • The charts are not comprehensive. Glyphs may be unrepresented if they are later inventions not derived from any Brahmi character.
  • The pronunciations of glyphs in the same column may not be identical. The pronunciation row is only representative; theInternational Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) pronunciation is given forSanskrit where possible, or another language if necessary.

The transliteration is indicated inISO 15919.

Notes
  1. ^This list tries to include characters of same origins, not same sounds. InBengali র is pronounced as but it is originallyva which is still used forwa sound inMithilakshar and modernAssamese ৱ (wabbô) was derived from middle Assamese র (wô). Compare with জ (ja) য (ya) and য় (ẏ) which are pronounced as, ande̯ô in Bengali and, and in Assamese respectively. য is related to Devanagari य (ya) and it is still pronounced as "ya" in Mithilakshar. Since their sounds shifted, the dots were added to keep the original sounds.
  2. ^Letter used inBalti.
  3. ^includes supplementary consonants not in contemporary use
  4. ^inherent vowel is ā
  5. ^abcdefghijklmnopModified forms of these letters are or were used for distinctions made in local language; these distinctions are not made for Sanskrit and Pali.
  6. ^abcdefghiModified forms of these letters are or were used for distinctions made in Thai; these distinctions are not made for Sanskrit and Pali in the Thai script.
  7. ^abcdefghijklmnThese letters are obsolete, but were used mainly for Sanskrit and Pali in the Lao script.
  8. ^abcdefghijklmnLetters used inOld Javanese. They are now obsolete, but are used for honorifics in contemporary Javanese.
  9. ^Invented new character to represent the Arabic letterخ.
  10. ^Letter used inOld Sundanese. It is now obsolete.
  11. ^Invented new character. Actually to represent the Arabic letterش, which has similar pronunciation with śa.

Vowels

[edit]

Vowels are presented in their independent form on the left of each column, and in their corresponding dependent form (vowel sign) combined with the consonantk on the right. A glyph forka is an independent consonant letter itself without any vowel sign, where the vowela isinherent.

Notes

  1. ^abcLetters forr̥̄,,l̥̄ and a few others are obsolete or very rarely used.
  2. ^includes supplementary vowels not in contemporary use
  3. ^abcdefTibetan, Lepcha, Limbu, New Tai Lue, Thai and Lao scripts do not have independent vowel forms. For syllables starting with a vowel sound, a "zero" consonant (ཨ, อ or ອ respectively) is used to represent the glottal stop /ʔ/.
  4. ^When used to write their own languages, Khmer can have either ana or ano as the inherent vowel, following the rules of its orthography.
  5. ^abcdLetters used in Old Sundanese. They are now obsolete.

List of Brahmic scripts

[edit]

Historical

[edit]

The Brahmi script was already divided into regional variants at the time of the earliest surviving epigraphy around the 3rd century BC. Cursives of the Brahmi script began to diversify further from around the 5th century AD and continued to give rise to new scripts throughout the Middle Ages. The main division in antiquity was between northern andsouthern Brahmi. In the northern group, theGupta script was very influential, and in the southern group theVatteluttu andKadamba/Pallava scripts with thespread of Buddhism sent Brahmic scripts throughout Southeast Asia.[citation needed]
