Indus Script

Welcome to Indus Script.

The Pashupati seal, showing a buffalo horn headed figure, surrounded by animals; circa 2350-2000 BCE

A collaborative project to decipher the Indus script.

Dravidian is the prime candidate for the elite language of the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC), known in Mesopotamia as Meluḫḫa.

Traces of the Meluhhan language are attested as loan words in Mesopotamia, including words for IVC imports such as pīlu (ivory) and eḷḷu (sesame oil), cognates with Dravidian.[1][2] Dravidian loan words are also found in the Rig Veda, which was composed in north west India circa 1500-1000 BCE.[3]

The word Meluḫḫa (also pronounced melukhkha) is possibly cognate with the words mleccha and milakkha, words initially used by Indo-Aryan speakers to refer to foreign speech. Later literature explicitly relates milakkha languages with Dravidian languages such as Tamil.

Following the pioneering works of Steven Bonta and Bahata Ansumali Mukhopadhyay, the Indus Script is unlikely to encode normal human language, and most probably encodes metrology related information. Readers are recommended to familiarise themselves with the works of both these scholars.

Despite this, individual symbols are still likely to have linguistic meaning. This project aims to collate all plausible meanings of the various Indus symbols and to correlate them with known Dravidian words.

Inner place,


Same symbol in Old cuneiform means Heart,[9]


Same symbol in Egyptian Hieroglyphs means Enclosure, Palace, Tomb and Temple.

This symbol is noted to be the alpha of the Indus script. It is the most common initial sign in Indus texts, and often precedes the ' marker suggesting that it may be a centre of authority.

The word Akam in Dravidian covers both meanings of inner place and heart.

'Akattiyar' (trans. Respected person from Akam/respected householder) is a name for both a Rig Vedic sage, and the mythical learned leader of the Velir who migrated to Tamilakam from Dvārakā, Indus Valley Civilisation in the protohistoric period.

Akattiyar is also noted to be the mythical father of Tamil language which is directly descended from Indus Dravidian.
