The Script of Harappa and Mohenjodaro and its Connection with Other Scripts c4.4

c4.4

The languages of Harappa and Mohenjodaro are shown to have been one and the same. It has not been possible to determine from the material at hand the identity of this language. It appears however to be monosyllabic. It does not appear to be the language of the Proto-Elamite tablets. It is possible on the latter to recognise those sign groups which constitute proper names. Similarly on the Proto-Indian seals the bulk of the legend is always a proper name. Many signs are common to both scripts, but the sequences are quite different. If then there are no proper names in common it is not likely that the languages are closely related.
