Kadamba script
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Indian English Template:Infobox Writing system Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists The Kadamba script is the first writing system devised specifically for writing Kannada, and later adopted to write Telugu language.[1] The Kadamba script is also known as Pre-Old-Kannada script.
The Kadamba script is one of the oldest scripts of the southern group of writing systems that developed from the ancient Brahmi script. By the 5th century CE it became distinct from other Brahmi variants and was used in what are now the South Indian states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It evolved into the Kannada-Telugu script by the 10th century CE and was used to write the Kannada and Telugu languages.[2] It is also distantly related to the Sinhala script.[3]
