The Brahmi script first emerged during the Mauryan period, under the reign of Emperor Ashoka. It is believed to be an indigenous Indian script, although it shares similarities with other scripts, including the Aramaic script. The earliest known examples of Brahmi script are found on the edicts of Ashoka, inscriptions engraved on rocks and pillars across India. Initially, Brahmi was primarily used for writing the Prakrit language. Later, it was also adapted to write other languages, most notably Sanskrit.
