The Brahmi script and its descendants |
Multānī was a historical Indic script which originated in the Punjab region of South Asia. It was, predominantly, used for the Punjabi language. The script was used for routine writing and commercial activities.
Multani is one of the five Landa scripts whose usage was extended beyond the mercantile domain and formalized for literary activity and printing; the others being Gurmukhi, Mahajani, Khojki and Khudabadi. Out of all, only Gurmukhi remains still in use as the official script in Punjab, India. Although Multani is now obsolete, it is a historical script in which written and printed records exist.[1]
