 Scripts from the Chapter "Siksa", in Hindu Dharma : kamakoti.org:
The evolution of the script of any language must be based on symbols or signs denoting various "units" of its speech(phonemes).
In fact it is from Brahmi that the scripts of most Indian languages have evolved and these include not only the Devanagari script in which Sanskrit is written but also the Tamil and Grantha scripts.
While in all other scripts the letters are written in a clockwise fashion, in Telugu there are letters written in an anticlockwise fashion, that is the loops are shaped leftward.
