Subject:manuscript written on palm leaves
Posted By: manuD Tue, Jul 02, 2019 IP: 2a01:e34:edc9:7c50:3 This manuscript is written on 22 palm leaves, its dimensions are 21x4.5cm. It is probably at least 70-100 years old. It seems to be written in brahmic script. I assume that the leaves are not shown upside down, but I am not sure. Could you tell me what script and language this is? |

Posted By: manuD Wed, Jul 03, 2019 Yes I agree, I have been comparing with old sinhalese, and there are definitely letters in common, like the b බ , g ග , final punctuation ෴ , or the colon-like final. |

Posted By: manuD Tue, Jul 09, 2019 I asked a forum about languages, and I was told that this is indeed a text in sinhalese, about medicine. |
