[edit] Notability

HOw come Ashoka inscriptions became tamil brahmi inscriptions. This is not confirm with factsmeghamitra 08:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Tamil Brahmi has its own notability to have its own article. just do a google book search. Taprobanus (talk) 22:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dating

How can this be possible , since asoka inscription is dated 300 BC and the recent finding at adichenelor ( Tamil nadu and SriLanka ) on tamil Brahmi Script dates back far earlier - 600 BC ? , this is so illogical !!

Brahmi has been found in Sri Lanka that is dated to 6th century BCE, which turns the theory that it came from the north on its head. There are theories that say that it was invented in the west coast of India(Kerala) by merchants (Buddhist/Jains) who were in touch with traders from Cannan the originators of Aphabet and was adopted by Ashoka letter.Taprobanus (talk) 15:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
