Q41. Which script was used in the northwest inscriptions?

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

The passage explicitly states, "The story of the decipherment of Kharosthi, the script used in inscriptions in the northwest, is different." This directly identifies Kharosthi as the script primarily used in inscriptions found in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent. While Greek script also appeared on coins of Indo-Greek kings in the area, and the language of Kharosthi inscriptions was determined to be Prakrit, Kharosthi is the specific script mentioned for the inscriptions. Aramaic was used in some Ashokan inscriptions in the extreme northwest, but Kharosthi was more widespread in the region's inscriptions as discussed in the context of its decipherment.
