How did writing develop differently in the Indus and in China

Introduction

Writing is a medium of human communication. The writing was derived by two ancient civilizations Nile and Tigris.These two civilizations should be given credit for the development of human being. Now the question arises how these writings went through an evolution process and transformed into chines characters and Indus scripts? It was claimed by scholars that writing was first invented in Mesopotamia, including both Chines And indus writing, which is supposed to be evolved from Middle east. Linguists also interpreted wrongly Darwin,s theory of evolution by seperating writing into functional types. Some examination concerning those classifications correct. The writing system of Indus civilizationwas very simple

Discussion

It has been proved that there is a great number of similarities in both writings. However there are many differences in the purpose of captions for their cultures. There are similarities in dates, titles like, a season of the year, and events related to religion and general terms for common words and events are also same like god, temple and son. There is a difference in words and word placement in the context of an oracular inscription. It must be kept in mind that the seal,s purpose was to make good impression.It is a bit tricky, and there may have been mistakes. There may have been changes to the linguistic structure to fix this limitation.

Indus Script

As in all other great ancient civilizations the functionary of the state has right to bring changes in the administration for the betterment of state. Smilierly in the Indus valley the functionary helps civilization in their administration or help them in their administration. Indus script that has not decoded yet,is known from thousand seals. Mostly the centre portion of every seal is covered by a realistic animals picture having a short formal symbole above it. The lack of longer wording or text suggests that this script is probably limited to trade usage.

Chinese characters

China is the last of the early civilizations to develop writing, in 1600 BC. But China invented a system and performed better than others which have evolved, as a working script, till now from the day. Chinese characters are extremely ill-suited to such labour-saving addition as printing, word processing or typewriting. But still, they have survived. They even have provided the script for a completely different language which is Japanese.The non-phonetic script of chines has been an important binding agent in China’s vast authority. Officials from places, usually unable to speak each other’s language, have been able to communicate easily through writing.

Conclusions

Through a sequence of examinations . I have provided an approach to study possible relationship between Chinese and indus the two ancient writing systems. I have concluded that these two systems are related closely and have at least a common orign. Further study will be able to identify this linguistic relationship closely
