The Brahmi script and its descendants |
The Gaudi script (Gāuṛi lipi), also known as the Proto-Bengali script[1][2] and sometimes the Proto-Oriya script,[3] is an abugida in the Brahmic family of scripts. By the fourteenth century, Gaudi script had begun to differentiate and gradually developed into the Bengali-Assamese (Eastern Nagari), Odia,[a] and Maithili script.[1][4]
Proto-Bengali gave birth to the Maithili, Modern Bengali (settled in the seventeenth century: Assamese is a nineteenth-century variant), and Oriya scripts, as well as the Manipuri and Newari scripts for two Tibeto Burman languages.
Proto-Oriya (The Proto-Bengali script script of Bühler)
In the northeast, meanwhile separately evolved into a form referred to as 'proto-Bengali' or Gaudī, which prevailed until the fourteenth century, by which time it had begun to be differentiated into the modern eastern scripts, Bangla-Asamiya, Maithilī and Oriya.
