As a rule, all scripts prior to ca. 500 B.C. to 350 A. D. came under the banner of 'Brahmi' script. After that period the script is divided in to Northern and Southern divisions. Geographic locations above the Vindhya mountains are Northern while those below are the Southern scripts. The Northern style includes Gupta, Kutila, Nagri, Sharada, Bangla while the Southern ones are Paschimi (Western) Madhya Pradeshi, Telagu, Kanadi, Grantha lipi, Kalinga lipi and Tamil etc.
However, those who are not conversant with Indian scripts will not believe that all the common languages shown above including the (Kashmiri), Punjabi, Grumukhi, Udiya etc have all evolved from the Brahmi script. Therefore it may be concluded that Brahmi is the mother of all the Indian language.
