Inscriptions in Sino-Tibetan languages of East and Southeast Asia are also occasionally found in India, generally in the form of pilgrims’ records or Buddhist donations. At Bodh-Gayā, for example, inscriptions have been found in Burmese (EI 11, 118–20) and Chinese (JRAS, n.s. 13, 552–72). Some Chinese inscriptions have also been discovered in other parts of India, for example, several recently found at Chilas, Hunza-Haldeikish, and other sites in northern Pakistan.⁹⁸
