Indian Palaeography c17.s1: Approach

c17.s1.1

As the writings of South-east Asia originated from those of India, my approach to the problem will be twofold. Firstly, I shall attempt to trace contacts with different parts of India on the basis of palaeography, and secondly a study will be made of the inscriptions in order to find the diffusion of the different types of writing in South-east Asia and how they lead on to the development of the regional scripts.
