RE: The Grantha script (Tamil: கிரந்த ௭ழுத்து - giranda eḻuttu) was widely used between the 6th century and the 19th century CE by Tamil speakers in Southern India, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, to write Sanskrit and classical Manipravalam

[Vengatesh S, Aadhavan]

Hi,

 

This is very interesting story . if you have read in English difficulties. I request you to read the Tamil version.

 

In olden days 6^TH Century to 19^th century we were reading Sanskrit by using Grantham script

For the past couple of weeks. I visited mamallapuram along with my father .I saw a Grantham script .I checked with my father. My father told that these are all ancient  before Tamil script.

I searched internet and also surprising reading the Grantham script .

 

Tamil speakers in south Indian particularly Tamil Nadu  & Kerala  between 6^th century to 19^th century to write Sanskrit and classical Manipravalam they are using Grantham script.   I believed that Tamil is a pure language. I know Tamil lacks (kha, ga, gha ,cha ja jha etc).Hence we are unable to spell the Sanskrit  (Hindi script).in order to avoid distance olden days they (Tamil Nadu and Kerala :- Tamil speaker)  used as Grantham script .Now a day’s orthodox Tamil speaking Hindus to write the Sanskrit portion of wedding invitation and also Traditional  Vedic schools (Vedapadasala)  are using Grantham script .Moreover modern  form of Grantham script is very similar to modern Tamil script  (letter sri, sha ksa ha 'ஸ', 'ஜ', 'க்ஷ', 'ஷ' ,'ஸ்ரீ'   taken from Grantham only
