An ancient Indian script used to write Sanskrit and other languages, from which most modern South Asian writing systems evolved.
From Sanskrit 'brāhmī', possibly derived from the goddess Saraswati or the root 'brahma' (referring to priestly knowledge). This script emerged around the 3rd century BCE during the Maurya period.
Brahmi script is like the 'Rosetta Stone' of India—by deciphering Brahmi inscriptions on ancient pillars, scholars unlocked the ability to read Sanskrit and reconstruct thousands of years of Indian history!
