Download or read book Indian Epigraphy written by Richard Salomon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general survey of all the inscriptional material in the Sanskrit, Prakrit, and modern Indo-Aryan languages, including donative, dedicatory, panegyric, ritual, and literary texts carved on stone, metal, and other materials. This material comprises many thousands of documents dating from a range of more than two millennia, found in India and the neighboring nations of South Asia, as well as in many parts of Southeast, central, and East Asia. The inscriptions are written, for the most part, in the Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts and their many varieties and derivatives. Inscriptional materials are of particular importance for the study of the Indian world, constituting the most detailed and accurate historical and chronological data for nearly all aspects of traditional Indian culture in ancient and medieval times. Richard Salomon surveys the entire corpus of Indo-Aryan inscriptions in terms of their contents, languages, scripts, and historical and cultural significance. He presents this material in such a way as to make it useful not only to Indologists but also non-specialists, including persons working in other aspects of Indian or South Asian studies, as well as scholars of epigraphy and ancient history and culture in other regions of the world.

Download or read book Sharada Lipi written by Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal and published by Devotees of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanskrit संस्कृत is commonly written in the देवनागरी Devanagari script, whereas English is written in the Roman script. Earlier Sanskrit was written in the Sharada Lipi also. This script flourished post the golden age of the Gupta period in India circa 2nd to 13th century CE, and continued to be used till as recently as the 18th century. India's Finance Minister Hon. Nirmala Sitharaman on 1st Feb 2020 during presentation of the Union Budget in point No 20 recited a verse in Kashmiri and displayed the graphic of a poem written in Sharada Lipi. This book attempts to elucidate the Sharada lipi as found in ancient Sanskrit texts. This makes it an invaluable resource for the linguist and the scholar who is helping to revive the script. It is hoped this book will enable avid readers to decipher the wisdom in the ancient texts and come up with some amazing and much needed scientific inventions. The Śāradā script is an abugida writing system of the Brahmi family. It is commonly spelt as Sharda or Sharada. It was in use for ‎Sanskrit and Kashmiri languages. Even today, birth horoscopes are made by pundits using this script in Kashmir. The Gurmukhi script used in writing the Punjabi language is a descendant of Śāradā Lipi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Systems and Phonetics provides students with a critical understanding of the writing systems of the world. Beginning by exploring the spelling of English, including how it arose and how it works today, the book goes on to address over 60 major languages from around the globe and includes detailed descriptions and worked examples of writing systems which foreground the phonetics of these languages. Key areas covered include: the use of the Latin alphabet in and beyond Europe; writing systems of the eastern Mediterranean, Greek and its Cyrillic offshoot, Arabic and Hebrew; languages in south and south-east Asia, including Hindi, Tamil, Burmese and Thai, as well as in east Asia, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean; reflections on ancient languages such as Sumerian, Egyptian, Linear B and Mayan; a final chapter which sets out a typology of writing systems. All of the languages covered are contextualised by authentic illustrations, including road signs, personal names and tables, to demonstrate how theoretical research can be applied to the real world. Taking a unique geographical focus that guides the reader on a journey across time and continents, this book offers an engaging introduction for students approaching for the first time the phonetics of writing systems, their typology and the origins of scripts.
