Brāhmī refers to the pre-modern members of the Brahmic family of scripts, attested from the 3rd century BC. The best known and earliest dated inscriptions in Brahmi are the rock-cut edicts of Ashoka. This script is ancestral to most of the scripts of India and Southeast Asia, Tibet, and perhaps even Korean Hangul. The Brahmi numeral system is the ancestor of the Hindu-Arabic numerals, which are now used world-wide.
