dbo:abstract
  • The Bhattiprolu script is a variant of the Brahmi script which has been found in old inscriptions at Bhattiprolu, a small village in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, South India. It is located in the fertile Krishna river delta and the estuary region where the river meets the Bay of Bengal. The inscriptions date to between the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE, putting them among the earliest evidence of Brahmi writing in South India. Bhattiprolu differs from Ashokan Brahmi in two significant ways. First, the letters gh, j, m, l, s are "radically different": m is upside-down compared to Brahmi, while gh appears to derive from g rather than from Semitic heth. Secondly, the inherent vowel has been discarded: A consonant written without diacritics represents the consonant alone. This is unique to Bhattiprolu and Tamil Brahmi among the early Indian scripts.

  • El alfabeto bhattiprolu es una variante del brahmi. Se ha encontrado en inscripciones antiguas en Bhattiprolu, un pueblo en el distrito de Guntur (Andhra Pradesh) al sur de la India. Se encuentra en el delta del río Krishna y en la región del estuario donde el río se encuentra con la Bahía de Bengala. Las inscripciones datan de entre los siglos III y I a. C.,​​ por lo que se encuentran entre los primeros alfabetos bráhmicos en la mitad sur de la India.​​ El alfabeto nhattiprolu se diferencia del Brahmi Ashoka en dos aspectos importantes. Primero, las letras gh, j, m, l, s son "radicalmente diferentes": m está al revés en comparación con Brahmi, mientras que gh parece derivar de g más que de la het semita. En segundo lugar, se ha descartado la vocal inherente: una consonante sin diacríticos representa solo la consonante. Esto es exclusivo del Bhattiprolu y del Tamil Brahmi de entre todas las primeras escrituras indias.​ (es)
