What language is the Sharda script based on?

While Sanskrit is undeniably the primary language, it is interesting to note that the Sharda script was also used for writing Sharda, an extinct vernacular language of the region. It was written in the same alphabet as Sanskrit but exhibited distinct regional characteristics. Despite its decline, the Sharda language still holds cultural relevance as it preserves a rich corpus of Kashmiri Pandit literature and religious texts.
