ThinKing,
To summarise, while Sinhalese script has evolved from Brahmi scripts and has some resemblance to other scripts that also evolved from Brahmi scripts, The 'Sinhalese Language' nor the 'Sinhalese Ethnic' nor the 'Sinhalese culture' originated in India, as the Tamil Eelamists like Ariyalai wants to fantasize.
Just like Tamil language and culture originated in Tamil Nadu, the Sinhalese Language and Culture originated in Sri Lanka.
The Eelamists like Ariyalai_SB argues that the 'Sinhalese culure' originated in India! According to him, the Sinhalese must have a 'Historical Sinhalese homeland' in India!! ;-)

ThinKing,
Yes, some members appear in this thread only.
It is not your ignorance at all. I suppose it is a lot to do with the interest they have in the subject.

To summarise, while Sinhalese script has evolved from Brahmi scripts and has some resemblance to other scripts that also evolved from Brahmi scripts
The resemblance is much more profound than that. Even though all Indian scripts evolved from Brahmi, they developed through two different traditions viz. Northern and Southern.
The Northern scripts developed into an angular form while the Southern scripts to a round form. This is believed to be due to the influence of the Tamil ?vattezuththu?. In fact Malayalam evolved as a separate language from Tamil only after the 7th century whereas Telugu and Kannada separated much earlier due to being part of the Asokan Empire and thus influenced by Prakrit.
That is why I suspect that Sinhala script coming from the Southern Brahmi and having a round shape like other Dravidian languages could have been influenced by the ?vattezuththu? in the 3-5th century period. This is yet to be proved with extensive research.
.
Just like Tamil language and culture originated in Tamil Nadu,
The Tamils culture is a part of a wider Dravidian culture, which is now believed to have originated in the Harappan civilization and not just in Tamil Nadu. |

Dear Kula,
I read somewhere that the Tamil scripts adopted more squarer shapes only after the 10 century AD. Do you have any information about it? |

Saerveck,
The exact location of the Subsolar point is dependant on location of the Earth on its orbit.
The location of the Earth on it's orbit, determine the season !! Where are you living man, have you smoke pot or what ??
Man use your brain before trying to explain something you copied and pasted from Google ! Thanks !
Now do you understood what i meant by 'It depends of the season' ??
It depends of the season = It depends of the location of the Earth on its orbit !! Because the season is determined by the location of Earth on its orbit !!
Please don't come to try to correct me if you even don't understood what i wrote !
By the way, it's not Konraad, it's Koenraad. I'm sure your beloved author would appreciate it if you could spell his name properly. Koenraad Elst himself is, I believe a Catholic, however, again much of his work deals with Hindu Nationalism
Yes you are right, i forgot a 'e' between 'n' and 'r' of his
name.
How do you know that Koenraad Elst's work deal with Hindu nationalism if you even don't know what he wrote ??
Man, i will stop to argue with you as you are lying line by line and as you don't what are you talking about (everybody can search on Google to find infos ) !
Much of his works deals with the Negation of Hindu's Genocide and Muslim Invasion which was the cause of this genocide !

Kula,
Tamils origin is not Harappa, but Kumari Kandam which is close to Sri lanka and Tamil Nadu!
