ABOUT COURSE
Brahmi script is one of the oldest known writing systems in the Indian subcontinent, dating back to the c. 3rd century BCE. It was used to write various languages of ancient India, including Sanskrit, Prakrit (vernacular languages), and some inscriptions in Dravidian languages. The script remained undeciphered until the 19th century when James Prinsep, a British scholar and archaeologist, successfully deciphered it by comparing inscriptions in Brahmi with known inscriptions in other scripts. Over time, Brahmi script evolved into several regional scripts, and someof them eventually gave rise to modern Indian scripts. By the c. 5th century CE, the use of Brahmi declined in favor of other scripts like Devanagari, Tamil script, Bengali script, etc.
