Self-taught, there are a lot of glyph tables online, and all Indian scripts being Brahmi-derived, very easy to pick up the concepts. Being into history, have always wanted to read inscriptions. Learning Brahmi allowed me to read Asokan edicts, which was pretty cool (even though the underlying Pali was hard, picking out place and people names was cool). >> - Kingsley >> PS: There is always a danger, when sending this intro email to a new group, >> akin to merging into a freeway, of swerving right into the middle of a >> 14-wheeler of a conversation with no context.
