Dear Yong Peng,

Some time ago I have done a little study on the Brahmi script too (just for my personal interests). Here are some useful links providing information about historical development and samples of Brahmi-descended scripts:

Dear friends,



it just so happened that I am doing a little research on the Brahmi

script (nothing academic, just for some art work), and we just have

this question on Burmese Tamarind Seed script, and another question

just occurs to me.



Can someone briefly explain how the Brahmi script developed into the

cursive and sophisticated Devanagari script, what were the influencing

factors, and what were the major successive descendants from Brahmi to

Devanagari.



Thank you.



metta,

Yong Peng.
