The Tamil Script has a long history almost parallel beginning with the Brāhmī script of the times of Asoka. The script is found originally designed to write inscriptions all over India allowing for modifications in respect of Tamil Nadu and for additions in respect of other areas. The modifications in respect of Tamil Nadu are close to the primary letters of the alphabet. The processes involved in the evolution are along known lines such as the desire for change and economy.³
