I am fascinated by what seems to be a common ancestry
of modern scripts. Such as Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese,
Devanagari, Tibetan, Suddham, and many many other
scripts derived from Bramhi. However, I haven't found
much literature regarding connections to other
European scripts. Although an arm-chair scholar
can easily see similarities between Brahmi, early
Semetic, and Runes.

Is anyone aware of accepted theories relating these
scripts? Can one speculate that there was a common
ancestry which later fragmented or is it an
on-going integration/isolation cycle? I am getting
bogged down in bias and controversy (such as
Aryan Invasion Theory, Nazism, and Vedic origins).
