Indian Epigraphy: A Guide to the Study of Inscriptions in Sanskrit, Prakrit, and the Other Indo-Aryan Languages c8.s5.t3.16

c8.s5.t3.16

Only a few late inscriptions in Sino-Tibetan languages of the border regions of India have been published. Inscriptions in Manipuri have been compiled by M. Bahadur and P. G. Singh in *Epigraphical Records of Manipur*. A few late copper plate inscriptions in Ahom are noted in SIE 60. Stone and copper plate inscriptions in Newari of the Malla period, usually bilingual with Sanskrit, are regularly found in Nepal from the late fourteenth century A.D. and become very common in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries (see 4.3.7.2 for references). Also quite common are ritual and historical inscriptions in Tibetan found in many parts of the Himalayan regions of India; see, for example, IA 35, 1906, 237–41, 325–33 (A. H. Francke).
