Also, there is no differentiation between long and short vowels in Kharosthi. Using epigraphic evidence, Salomon has established that the vowel order is /a e i o u/, akin to Semitic scripts, rather than the usual vowel order for Indic scripts /a i u e o/. Other initial vowels use the a character modified by diacritics. Kharosthi includes only one standalone vowel which is used for initial vowels in words. Some variations in both the number and order of syllables occur in extant texts. As preserved in Sanskrit documents, the alphabet runs: a ra pa ca na la da ba ḍa ṣa va ta ya ṣṭa ka sa ma ga stha ja śva dha śa kha kṣa sta jñā rtha (or ha) bha cha sma hva tsa gha ṭha ṇa pha ska ysa śca ṭa ḍha Recent epigraphic evidence has shown that the order of letters in the Kharosthi script follows what has become known as the Arapacana alphabet. Kharosthi ( 𐨑𐨪𐨆𐨮𐨿𐨛𐨁𐨌, from right to left Kha-ro-ṣṭhī) is mostly written right to left (type A),Įach syllable includes the short /a/ sound by default, with other vowels being indicated by diacritic marks.
