[a] The Semitic origin of the Brahmic scripts is not universally agreed upon.

It was re-discovered in 1801 and the script's applications during the period of its use are not known. It was also largely based on the Tibetan alphabet, read left to right, and employed vowel diacritics above and below the consonant letters.[1]
