Extract

The well-known Śāradā character of Kaśmīr is described by Bühler p. 56 of his Indische Palaeographie. He points out that it is descended from the western variety of the Gupta type of alphabets, and notes that a modern variety of it is the so-called Ṭakkarī of Jammū and the neighbourhood. Bühler does not, so far as I am aware, mention any other of the modern alphabets of north-western India.
