سنڌو کل ت جا لفظ: هה اڀياس

(A study of Words of Indus Script)

Abstract

The major cities of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), also known as Bronze Age Civilization, Harappa and Mohen jo Daro, dating to around 3300 B.C., represent some of the largest human habitations of the ancient world. The culture prevailing in these ancient cities was unique and distinct, and the cities were highly developed. Furthermore, thousands of inscribed seals have also been found at these sites. Deciphering the seals, archeologists mostly hint that these could be read and concluded that the Indus script is a complete writing system rather than corpus of mere signs and symbols. This paper maintains that the Indus Script is not merely a collection of signs, but a full-fledged writing system. Similarly, many of the words have been read and compared with the Roman English and the Birahimi Script.
