		The early Brahmi and Kharosthi did not have the dipthongs /ai/, /au/, and the vocalic /r/ and /l/, so common in Sanskrit.
		Kharosthi was used primarily for the Prakrit dialect of Gandhari.
		Kharosthi Script fell out of use by the 3rd or 4th century.

	AncientScripts.com: Kharosthi
		Like Brahmi, Kharosthi seemed to have been developed for Prakrit dialects (which was the common speech of everyday life as opposed to Sanskrit which was the liturgic language).
		In particular, Kharosthi seemed to be used primarily for the Prakrit dialect of Gandhari.
		The evidence for this is in the form of a diacritic mark that denotes a transformation of an intervocalic constant (sometimes from a stop to a fricative), which existed in Gandhari.

	Brahmi Script
		The Kharosthi Script was more or less contemporarily with the Brahmi script, appearing around the 3rd century BCE mainly in modern-day northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan, although some examples do occur in India.
		Eventually the Kharosthi script fell out of use by the 3rd or 4th century CE, and the descendent of Brahmi eventually took hold in the northwestern India to Assam in the east -- the extent of Asoka Empire and the outlying areas..
		Yet on the other hand, the way Brahmi, and its relative Kharosthi, works is quite different from Semitic scripts, and may point to either a stimulus-diffusion or even indigenous origin.

		Kharosthi script appeared early in the third century B.C. in the period of the Indian Maurya Dynasty during the region of King Asoka.
		Those inscribed wooden slips written in Kharosthi scripts discovered in the ancient Loulan-Shanshan State look like the government official documents, the contents of which include the king's edict, various kinds of contracts, account books and records, documents, official letters and private letters, some regional official documents, religious books in the temples.
		One slip in Kharosthi script discovered from the ancient Loulan city almost shows the same historical situation.

	The Chronicle: 10/4/2002: A Lost Buddhist Literary Tradition Is Found
		Salomon specialized in those arcane inscriptions, which are in Kharosthi, a script based on the Aramaic alphabet.
		Similar sleuthing suggests that the Kharosthi scrolls came from the library of a Gandharan monastery of the Dharmaguptaka sect of Buddhists; that they date from the first century AD; and that they were found in modern-day northern Pakistan or eastern Af-ghanistan.
		Interlinear notations such as "copied" indicate that the manuscripts were discarded ones that had been replaced by freshly made ones.

	Kharosti Alphabet
		Unlike the Brahmi script, which was invented at around the same time and spawned many of the modern scripts of India and South East Asia, Kharosthi had no descendants.
		Since then further material has been found and the script is now better understood.
		Kharosthi is a syllabic alphabet - each letter has an inherent vowel /a/.

	The Gurmukhi Script
		They brought with them Aramaic script, which helped in the growth of Kharosthi largely used in the Punjab, Gandhar and Sindh between 300 BC and 3rd century AD.
		But even then Brahmi, which in its development in the Punjab had undergone several changes, was commonly used along with Kharosthi.
		Hence, in due course, it replaced Kharosthi and became the single script with composite features effected by various local and neighbourly influences.

		Salomon (Asian languages and literature, Univ. of Washington), head of a team of scholars from the University of Washington and the British Library, has written this first volume in a projected series on the scrolls as an overview of their general importance.
		The fragmentary birch bark scrolls, which were found inside one of a set of inscribed clay pots, are written in the Gandhari Prakrit language and in Kharosthi script.

		His name is preserved in bilingual Greek (Maues) and Kharosthi (Moa) coins and a Kharosthi inscription from Taxila (Moga).
		Maues' origins are obscure: he may have been connected with the Sakas of Sakastan, or he could have belonged to another branch of Sakas that migrated from the north through the mountains to Gandhara and Taxila.
		A Kharosthi inscription on a copper plate from Taxila dated in year 78 of an unspecified era during the reign of "maharaja Moga the Great" records the establishment of Buddhist relics by a donor named Patika, the son of an official (ksatrapa) named Liaka Kusulaka.

	Buddhist Scriptures: Buddhist Bark Texts Found
		Mr Shaw explained: "The scrolls tell us something about the way Buddhists passed on the teachings, which were for a long time passed on orally." After the Buddha's death, his disciples are said to have gathered in assemblies where they recited his sermons and organised them into what came to be the Buddhist canon.
		Although nothing is known of their provenance, their attribution has been confirmed by the University of Seattle's Professor Richard Salomon, one of the world's greatest scholars of Kharosthi - a script derived from the Aramaic alphabet that was restricted to a small area of India.
		They were, he said, "the Dead Sea Scrolls of Buddhism".
