Write a note on Harappan script?
  • 1 answers

Abad Shaikh 2 years, 9 months ago

Script of the Harappan civilization: (i) Till date we have not been able to decipher Harappan script. Although we are sure that it was not alphabetical (where each sign stands for a vowel or a consonant) as there are just too many signs-somewhere between 375 and 400. (ii) The script was written from right to left. We know this because some seals show a wider spacing on the right and cramping on the left, as if the engraver began working from the right and then ran out of space. (iii) The Indus Script has both word signs and symbols with phonetic value. This view is based on the fact that roughly 400 signs have been identified, which makes it unlikely that the Indus Script was solely phonetic.
