Talk:Pallava alphabet

The Pallava alphabet is too different from the Grantha family to be redirected. It had a stable and distinctive form at the point that it became ancestor to the Southeast Asian scripts. It should be considered a separate child of Southern Brahmic scripts.

Actually, Pallava alphabet is not an alphabet per definition. The page shall refer to the definition of the alphabet, not to the public misunderstanding.


 * "An alphabet is a standard set of letters (basic written symbols or graphemes) that is used to write one or more languages based upon the general principle that the letters represent phonemes (basic significant sounds) of the spoken language."
 * "An abugida /ˌɑːbʊˈɡiːdə/ (from Ge'ez: አቡጊዳ ’abugida), or alphasyllabary, also known as avugida, is a segmental writing system in which consonant–vowel sequences are written as a unit: each unit is based on a consonant letter, and vowel notation is secondary."
