[QUOTE="Serjinder Singh, post: 183529, member: 13216"] spnadmin ji "Like many other things about Sikhi, the invention of Gurmukhi was to turn something that was complicated and turn it into something that is beautifully simple. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network [URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/learn-punjabi/39661-kakka-pair-bindi-3.html#post183476[/URL]" Slight correction according to my way of thinking. Gurmukhi was not invented, it kept evolving and is still evolving. Gurmukhi existed even before Guru Nanak Dev ji. The evidence exists to prove this.

It is interesting to find that even at the time of sixth Guru ji Gurmukhi writing adopted a vowel sign 'Kanaura' to indicate the vowel sign for 'au' sound. The manuscripts of Guru Granth Sahib written after the Kartarpuri bir used the new 'Kanaura' sign and it became a regular sign by the time of ninth and tenth Guru ji. The point I want to make is that if a language does not evolve by adopting new words it stagnates and similarly a script not evolving becomes archaeic and is ultimately forgotten and overtaken by some other dominant script.
