A method of identifying allographs in undeciphered scripts and its application to the Indus Valley Script

S. Daggumati and P. Z. Revesz

Discover a groundbreaking approach by Shruti Daggumati and Peter Z. Revesz for identifying redundant signs in undeciphered scripts! This innovative method, applied to the Indus Valley Script, reveals its multi-directionality and proposes a reduced sign list that could transform future decipherment efforts.

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel method for identifying redundant signs (allographs) in undeciphered scripts by analyzing sign positions within inscriptions. Applying this method to the Indus Valley Script, the study demonstrates the script's multi-directionality and proposes a reduced sign list by grouping 50 pairs of signs based on insignificant variations. This reduction may simplify future decipherment efforts.
