A note on the possible relationship of King Rama Khmahaeng's Sukhodaya script of Thailand to the Grantha script of South India

Abstract

The discussion in this paper is based entirely on materials that have already been published in one form or another (such as volumes of inscriptions, grammatical works, general historical works, and learned papers in journals concerning some aspects of South Indian scripts and the Thai scripts). In other words, the evidence to be cited in this paper does not derive any new epigaphical document, whether of South India or of Southeast Asia, which might have so far remained unpublished or unknown.
