Tamil scripts are what we con...Dear Mr Narayanan, <br /><br />Tamil scripts are what we continue to use till today. The presentday epigraphers have built up a theory that Tamil scripts was derived from Brahmi (3rd century BCE), which changed over to Tamil Grantha (3rd century CE)and to today's script. <br /><br />Read my article <br />http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2012/07/was-tamil-script-derived-from-brahmi.html<br /><br />My research article on this is yet to be written. <br /><br />Simple example,<br /><br />'ங' ப்போல் வளை is told by Auvaiyaar in Aaththi chudi. This letter is twisted a lot and that is why this saying. But ங in Tamil Brahmi is not twisted. Our scholars would immediately say that Auvaiyaar was from later period, without giving any proof!!<br /><br />Brahmi inscriptions are found only in hillocks of the Highways where Jain monks stayed. These monks co-existed with Tamils people in Silappadhikaram period. The location and their presence told in Silappadhikaram are same as where these inscriptions have been found out today. But then Silappadhikmaram was a rich text on tamil at a time when these inscriptions / Brahmi scripts were limping to make inroads into Tamilnadu and eventually rejected.Some rudimentary element is found in Cholan inscriptions on stone of 10th century CE. That is accounted for, by the knowledge level of the stone cutters who were all new to Tamilnadu and migrants. In contrast the inscriptions of the same period on metal (Thiruvalanagadu) are Grantha and sanskrit. Grantha has Tamil letters that we use today + grantha letters for sanskrit sounding letters. More in my future article.<br /><br /><br />I dont know about Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu scripts. But they may be mostly derived from Vattezutthu, which was used by traders.Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-63103800120988644882013-10-10T17:31:51.746+05:302013-10-10T17:31:51.746+05:30Dear Mr Saranathan,

Few more articles are there in the series - in fact the crucial ones from Varahamihira's himself from whom the opponents have taken the cue.

They were the scripts used by the migrant Jain monks to write Tamil. The existence of the long and beautiful Madutrai-k-kanchi composed at the same time shows that Tamil script had already existed and was well developed." <br /><br />You are referring to which script as Tamil script ? More elaboration on this is requested.<br /><br />Narayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980952045415723114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-60046297464460769672013-10-09T20:58:07.402+05:302013-10-09T20:58:07.402+05:30What an amazing and magnificent research!Hats off ...What an amazing and magnificent research!Hats off for the mountain like information just to refute an ignorant remark by the opponents that India borrowed astrology from greeks!I do not know whether these valuable information are seen by historians and archealogists.
