Indus Script Analysis: Concordance Tables by Sandira Segaran Pdf

After ninety years of research, the Indus Script still remains un-deciphered. It is because of non-discovery of any bilingual or multi-lingual inscriptions like Rosetta Stone in the case of Egyptian hieroglyphics. This handicap is being slowly overcome by the analytical methods that can be used in the computational research of the Indus Script. I have recently developed a software program to analyse the signs and inscriptions of Indus Script. The program helps one to formulate concordance tables for any pre-assigned combination of signs. Thousands of such concordance tables can be generated by the computer program on the fly. Some of such tables are offered to the other research scholars in several collections. This is the first collection in the series.

Indus Script by Sandira Segaran Pdf

After ninety years of research on Indus Script, which still remains undeciphered, there now seems to be a consensus amongst the scholars on the direction of writing as from right-to-left. Almost all scholars agree that combination of signs in Indus inscriptions follow certain patterns; any particular sign is followed only by another sign belonging to a pre-defined set. I have recently developed a software program to analyze the Indus inscriptions and to generate concordance tables satisfying pre-formulated criteria. After generating concordance tables relating to the juxtapositions of two or more Indus signs, I drew up a short list of inscriptions with unusual sign patterns. Those are mostly inscriptions found on seals excavated in near eastern sites. One of them is the famous Mesopotamian circular seal with Indus signs. I have since discovered a possible interpretation to this inscription using Dravidian based phonetic syllables. It invokes the Sumerian Mother Goddess and Protector of Ur, Inanna.

The Indus Script: A Positional-Statistical Approach by Michael Korvink Pdf

Since the discovery of the Indus Civilization, the meaning of the enigmatic Indus script remains hidden in its four hundred characters. While many would-be-decipherers have attempted to unravel its meaning with the aid of a presumed underlying language, none of these attempts has proven successful. In response, the approach taken in this work does not preclude an underlying language, but offers an alternate approach where the positional patterns of the Indus signs are investigated in an attempt to segment the character strings. Michael Korvink is a former instructor of International Studies at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and now works in the private sector.

Literacy and Language Analysis by Robert J. Scholes Pdf

This volume investigates the interconnections between language and literacy in terms of the structures of language as well as the linguistic contexts of literacy. The work for this book was generated in order to focus on studies of the acquisition and impact of literacy on traditional assertions of linguistic analysts. The contributors show that claims regarding descriptions of the linguistic competence of native speakers contain phonemic, morphemic, and sentential constructs applicable only to literate language users. They also suggest that syntactic formalities -- elements lacking extensional reference -- are unlikely in the absence of literacy, and that the notions of "sentencehood" and syntactic well-formedness are functions of literacy. Finally, the book reviews the basic notions of literary relativity and the role of literacy in communication and civilization.

Indus Script & It's Language by Rama Sarker Pdf

This Book Being The First Critical Assessment Of All Significant Attempts At Decipherment Of The Indus Script And Technicalities Involved In The Models, Explains How A Breakthrough In Decipherment Has Been Achieved As A Sequel To Scientific Analysis. It Has Highlighted The Progress Made In Decoding The Indus People. The Structural Analysis Of The Indus Script Not Only Meets This Desideratum But Also Throws New Light On The Different Approaches To The Problems. It Has Convincingly Demonstrated That The Failure By Most Scholars To Carry The Structural Analysis Of All The Compound Signs In The Indus Script To Its Logical Conclusion And A-Priori Assumptions Of A Language Of Their Choice Were The Stumbling Block. It Has Cleared The Mystery Of The So-Called Undecipherable Script And Brought Together All The Ramifications Of Analysis And Interpretation By Various Scholars And Examined Objectively. The Stages Of Development In Identification Of Basic Signs Of The Dug Script Has Been Explained Vividly Kith Adequate Analytical Charts And Examples And The Languages And The Languages As Old Indo-Aryan In Compariosn With Those Of A Known Script. It Has Rendered Signal Service To The Scholarly World By Providing Basic Data Needed For Understanding The Intricacies Of A Mixed Writing Of Bygone Days.

The Indus Script and the Ṛg-Veda by Egbert Richter-Ushanas Pdf

The deciphering of the Indus script has met with suspicion and is exposed to ridicule even. Many people are nowadays of the opinion that the Indus script is altogether indecipherable, if not a bilingual of considerable size turns up. The approach to a decipherment presented in this volume makes avail of a bilingual, too, but its masterkey is the discovering of the symbolic connection of the Indus signs with the metaphoric language of the Rg-Veda. Nearly 200 inscriptions, among them the longest and those with the most interesting motifs, have been decoded here by setting them syllable for syllable in relation to Rg-Vedic verses. The results that were gained by this method for the pictographic values of the Indus signs are surprising and far beyond the possibilities of the most daring phantasy. At the same time many problems of the Rg-Veda could be solved or new insights be won.

Indus Valley Civilization Script Decoded by Prabhunath Hembrom Pdf

Scientists discover Y-DNA haplogroups O2a and mt-DNA haplogroup M4a in the Rakhigarhi ancient DNA. These haplogroups are associated with the speakers of Austro-Asiatic languages such as Mundari, Santali and Khasi. These haplogroups and related languages are also present in Southeast Asia. In India, speakers of these languages are currently found mostly in Central and East India. Even though a prominent philologist of Harvard University, Mr. Michael Witzel, has argued the case for a language close to Munda (which he calls para-Mundari) being one of the languages of the erstwhile Indus Valley, a finding of this nature will come as a surprise to most others. So if the genetics do find haplogroups O and M4a in Rakhigarhi, some of our current understanding of Indian history may have to be revised. Tony Joseph in The Hindu, December 23, 2017

The Script of Harappa and Mohenjodaro and Its Connection with Other Scripts by G. R. Hunter Pdf

Description: The present work is a reissue of the 1934 edition published from London. The Material for this work was provided by some 750 inscribed objects unearthed at the sites in Mohenjodaro and Harappa. These copper coins were also found, and some slabs of clay impressed. The work was first in the study of these scripts, so it was its methodology. The method adopted was to tabulate every occurrence of each sign together with those signs whose morphography suggested the possibility of their being variants. In this way certain sign sequences showed themselves to be of common occurrence. Thus it was possible to recognize variants and also words. The author has also compared these scripts with other scripts, viz. Proto-Elamite and Sumerian scripts, bringing out resemblance between them and suggested that the connection could be due to community of descent or borrowing, which was still to be determined then. Printed Pages: 242 with 4 charts and 37 line drawing plates. Abstract List of Abbreviations 1. Introduction 2. Descriptive Catalogue of the Texts 3. Direction of the writing 4. Connection with other Scripts 5. Analysis of the Tables of Signs 6. Tables with Sign-list
