These scripts are derived from the ancient Brahmi script and are characterized by their rounded shapes and distinct letters. The most prominent South Indian scripts include Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, each serving as the official script for their respective languages. These scripts are used for various purposes, including literature, education, and administration. They have evolved over centuries, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. Each script has its own unique features, such as the number of vowels and consonants, making them integral to the identity of the languages they represent.
