(Alidirektita el Brahmia skribmaniero)

Brahmia, brahmabrama estas la moderna nomo[1] de skribsistemo de antikva Hindio.[2] La brahmia skribsistemo aperis kiel tute disvolvigita universala en Suda Azio almenaŭ ĉirkaŭ la 3-a jarcento a.K.,[2] kaj estas antaŭaĵo de ĉiuj el la skribsistemoj kiuj estis uzataj en Suda Azio kun la escepto de la Indusa skribsistemo de la tria jarmilo a.K., la skribsistemo Ĥaroŝti, kiu originis en tio, kio estas nuntempe nordokcidenta Pakistano en la kvara aŭ eble en la kvina jarcento a.K.,[3] la Pers-Arabaj skribsistemoj ekde la mezepokaj periodoj, kaj la Latinaj skribsistemoj de la moderna periodo.[2] Ties posteuloj, la brahmiaj skribsistemoj, plue estas uzataj nuntempe ne nur en Suda Azio, sed ankaŭ en Sudorienta Azio.[4][5][6] brahmia estas abugido, kiu uzas sistemon de diakritaj markiloj por asociigi vokalojn al la konsonantaj simboloj.

The application to it of the name Brahmi [sc. lipi], which stands at the head of the Buddhist and Jaina script lists, was first suggested by T[errien] de Lacouperie, who noted that in the Chinese Buddhist encyclopedia Fa yiian chu lin the scripts whose names corresponded to the Brahmi and Kharosthi of the Lalitavistara are described as written from left to right and from right to left, respectively. He therefore suggested that the name Brahmi should refer to the left-to-right 'Indo-Pali' script of the Aśokan pillar inscriptions, and Kharosthi to the right-to-left 'Bactro-Pali' script of the rock inscriptions from the northwest."

Thus, with the exceptions of the Indus script in the protohistoric period, of Kharosthi in the northwest in the ancient period, and of the Perso-Arabic and European scripts in the medieval and modern periods, respectively, the history of writing in India is virtually synonymous with the history of the Brahmi script and its derivatives.”.

[pp. 42–44] In short, there is no clear evidence to allow us to specify the date of the origin of Kharoṣțhī with any more precision than sometime in the fourth, or possibly the fifth, century B.C. [p. 46]”.
