Talk: Brahmic family
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
This page was listed in Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion probably because it was confused with the Indus script. Please note that the two are very different. The Indus script was last used 3500 years ago and it hasn't been deciphered; Indic scripts are a family of scripts used by a billion Indians today.

- Is it possible to make it a redirect? Once the language is deciphered (if possible), this article will be useful. wshun 00:41, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Could possibly redirect to Devanagari, but that's not the only Indic script; there's also Tamil and Kannada-Telugu. - Efghij 02:20, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- There are lots of different scripts used in India. We should have an overview article for them. I don't see why this couldn't become one. It looks a half-way decent attempt at a start. I see no reason to delete it. -- Oliver P. 12:53, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Should at the least be a stub and links to the other relevant articles (and there are a few) -- Jake 02:10, 2003 Aug 20 (UTC)
Since Indic alphabets has now been merged with Brahmic family and redirected here, I expect the above is all rather irrelevant, but there it is anyway. -- Oliver P. 01:13, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

This bullet point:
- 'u' is written below, short 'i' is written to the left if distinct from long 'i'.
looks dubious to me. I assume it doesn't fit all scripts of the brahmic family. Pjacobi 22:21, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
