The Obverse of the coin usually depict the ruler's portrait with elaborate headdress, and on the reverse, either the zoroastrian fire altar or Shiva and his bull Nandi.

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Tamil language - Writing system Tamil is atrocioulsy non-phonetic - the language itself could be read as dhamizh or thamizh in the native script. Tamil is subject to well-defined rules of elision and euphony. The present script used to write Tamil text is believed to have evolved from the Brahmi script of the Ashoka era. Later, a southern variant of the Brahmi script evolved into the Grantha script, which was used to write both Sanskrit and Tamil texts. Between the 6th and 10th centuries, a new script called vettezhuthu (meaning letters that are cut) evolved ...

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - History of Sri Lanka - Early history The Sinhalese chronicle the Mahavamsa relates the landing of Vijaya, the first Sinhalese king, in 543 BC. The Sinhalese people are believed to have migrated from somewhere in northern India: they are not Dravidian like the peoples of neighbouring south India. The Sinhala language is related to Sanskrit, as is Hindi. The first Sri Lankan kingdom had its capital at Tambapanni, but later shifted to Upatissagama and then to Anuradhapura.
Pottery has been found at Anuradhapura, bearing Brahmi script and non-Brahmi writing, dating back to 600 BC, suggesting that the art of writing may have ...

| | | | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Agathocles of Bactria - Bilingual coinage At the same time, Agathocles issued an intriguing range of bilingual coinage, displaying what seems to be Buddhist as well as Hinduist symbolism. The coins, manufactured according to the Indian standard, using either Brahmi, Greek or Kharoshthi (a first in the Greek world), and displaying symbols of the various faiths in India, tend to indicate a considerable willingness to accommodate local languages and beliefs, to an extent unseen in subsequent Indo-Greek kings. They may be indicative of the considerable efforts of the first Indo-Greek ki ...

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Western Kshatrapas - Coinage The Kshatrapas have a very rich and interesting coinage. It was based on the coinage of the earlier Indo-Greek Kings, with Greek or pseudo-Greek legend and life-like profiles of royal busts on the obverse. The reverse of the coins however is original and typically depict a thunderbolt and an arrow, and later, a chaitya or three-arched hill and river symbol with a crescent and the sun, within a legend in Brahmi. These coins are very informative, since they record the name of the King, of his father, and the date of issue, and h ...

| | | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Kannada language - Kannada script The language has 52 letters phonemic and according to academic profile 49 letters are present in Kannada language. These 49 letters are divided into two groups: Swaragalu (15 letters) and "Vyanjanagalu" (34 letters), similar to the vowels and consonants of English, respectively. The character set is almost identical to that of other Indian languages. The script itself, derived from brahmi script, is fairly complicated like most other languages of India owing to the occurrence of various combinations of "half-letters", or symbols that attach ...

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Gurmukhī script - Vowels Gurmukhi follows similar concepts to other Brahmi scripts and as such, all consonants are followed by an inherent‘a’sound (unless at the end of a word when the ‘a’ is usually dropped). This inherent vowel sound can be changed by using dependent vowel signs which attach to a bearing consonant. In some cases, dependent vowel signs cannot be used – at the beginning of a word or syllable for instance – and so an independent vowel character is used instead.
Independent vowels are constructed using three bearer characters: Ura (ੳ), Aira (ਅ) and Iri (ੲ). With the exception of Aira (which represents the vowel 'a') they are ...

| | | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - Ancient Indian mathematics 800 BC - 200 BC The earliest known mathematics in ancient India dates back to 3000 BC with the Indus Valley civilization. After its collapse in 1700 BC however, writing was absent in South Asia for a long period. There is considerable controversy regarding the dates when writing was re-developed in India and when the Brahmi script was developed.[5] Some scholars, such as Georg Bühler, date the Brahmi script as early as the 8th century BC, others from the Maurya dynasty in the 4th century BC. Some evidence dates it to 600 BC (see Brāhmī), while some schol ...

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Arabic numerals - Description The numeral system employed, known as Algorism, is positional decimal notation.
Various symbol sets are used to represent numbers in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, all of which evolved from the Brahmi numerals. The symbols used to represent the system have split into various typographical variants since the Middle Ages:
the widespread Western "Arabic numerals" used with the Latin alphabet, in the table below labelled "European", descended from the "West Arabic numerals" which were developed in al-Andalus and the Maghreb ...

Hindu-Arabic numerals system - Origins.
Buddhist inscriptions from around 300 B.C. use the symbols which became 1, 4 and 6. One century later, their use of the symbols which became 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9 was recorded. These Brahmi numerals are the ancestors of the Hindu-Arabic glyphs 1 to 9, but they were not used as a positional system with a zero, and there were rather separate numerals for each of the tens (10, 20, 30, etc.).

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Tamil language - History Like the other Dravidian languages, but unlike most of the other established literary languages of India, the origins of Tamil are independent of Sanskrit. Tamil has the longest unbroken literary tradition amongst the Dravidian languages. Tamil tradition dates the oldest works to several millennia ago, but the earliest examples of Tamil writing we have today are in inscriptions from the 3rd century BCE, which are written in an adapted form of the Brahmi script (Mahadevan, 2003), though many linguists see coded Tamil words in deciphering Indu ...

| | | | | Brahmi: Encyclopedia II - Gurmukhī script - Origins Like most of the North Indian writing systems, the Gurmukhi script is a descendant of the Brahmi script. The Proto-Gurmukhi letters evolved through the Gupta script, from 4th to 8th century, followed by the Sharada script, from 8th century onwards, and finally adapted their archaic form in the Devasesha stage of the Later Sharada script, dated between the 10th and 14th centuries.
The traditional accounts, such as the references found in the Janamsakhi literature, say that the Gurmukhi script was invented by the se ...
