Kharoshthi script

Kharoshthi script is a special way of writing that some people used a very long time ago in parts of what is now Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. It's called Kharoshthi because it was first found in a place called Taxila, which was ruled by a king named Kharoshthi.

The letters in the Kharoshthi script are shaped like little pictures that stand for different sounds in a language called Gandhari. This script was used mainly to write down important things, like religious texts and legal documents.

One of the cool things about the Kharoshthi script is that it's written from right to left, which is different from the way that we usually write. It also has special symbols for things like punctuation and numbers, so people could write things like dates and amounts of money.

Unfortunately, the Kharoshthi script isn't used anymore today, but it's still really interesting to look at and learn about how people communicated a long time ago.
