In which of the following countries Kharoshthi script was invented? Correct Answer Pakistan

  • Kharoshthi Script was invented in Pakistan.
  • The Kharosthi script (also known as 'Indo-Bactrian' script) was a writing system originally developed in present-day northern Pakistan, sometime between the 4th and 3rd century BCE. Kharosthi was employed to represent a form of Prakrit (Middle Indic), an Indo-Aryan language. It had a wide but irregular distribution along with northern Pakistan, eastern Afghanistan, northwest India, and Central Asia.
  • As the Brahmi script dominated most of India outside the northwest, Kharosthi remained dominant in this region: most inscriptions between c. 200 BCE and 200 CE in this area were written in Kharosthi.
  • Kharosthi arrived in several areas in central Asia, aided by the flourishing commerce of the Silk Road.
  • It was employed in the kingdom of Shanshan (founded in the 1st century BCE) located in the southern and eastern area of the Tarim Basin. 
  • Kharoshthi script is written from right to left like the Arabic.
  • Some Ashokan Inscriptions in northwest India were written in Kharoshthi script.
