Gupta script

<p>The Gupta script (sometimes referred to as Gupta Brahmi script or Late Brahmi script) was used for writing <a href="/facts/Sanskrit/ychfjhlx">Sanskrit</a> and is associated with the <a href="/facts/Gupta_Empire/KbMVInGv">Gupta Empire</a> of the <a href="/facts/Indian_subcontinent/0XUWGXpx">Indian subcontinent</a>, which was a period of material prosperity and great <a href="/facts/Religion/cxntrD0R">religious</a> and <a href="/facts/Science/IJoaD7rs">scientific</a> developments. The Gupta script was descended from <a href="/facts/Brahmi_script/Bflxwzu6">Brāhmī</a> and gave rise to the <a href="/facts/Sharada_script/LNUBbo4L">Śāradā</a> and <a href="/facts/Siddha%25E1%25B9%2583_script/McxAxntx">Siddhaṃ</a> scripts. These scripts in turn gave rise to many of the most important Indic scripts, including <a href="/facts/Devanagari/dQvQ3Ufs">Devanāgarī</a> (the most common script used for writing <a href="/facts/Sanskrit/ychfjhlx">Sanskrit</a> since the 19th century), the <a href="/facts/Gurmukhi/u6Nt0z14">Gurmukhī script</a> for <a href="/facts/Punjabi_language/Dps9vRRe">Punjabi</a>, the <a href="/facts/Odia_script/05jEzRTV">Odia script</a>, the <a href="/facts/Bengali-Assamese_script/YV3phTFD">Bengali-Assamese script</a> and the <a href="/facts/Tibetan_script/d6SoCnze">Tibetan script</a>.
