IMO this template is too large. Perhaps it makes more sense to add the family tree to Brahmic family, and replace this with a smaller, horizontal navigational box (or perhaps just leave it at the 'writing systems' navigational box. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joost (talk • contribs) 12:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oriya language or script is a descendant of Brahmi script but not a descendant of Proto-Bengali script, please see the following categorization which says that Kalinga script is the precursor of modern Oriya script.

As far as I know, Oriya is a northern script, not a southern one. Oriya has a much closer relationship with Bengali and Devanagari, rather than Telugu or any other southern script. The Wikipedia article says the same. This mistake should be corrected. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriya_alphabet#Comparison_of_O.E1.B9.9Biy.C4.81_script_with_its_neighbours 117.197.78.255 (talk) 07:47, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Three new Brahmic scripts were added with Unicode 11.0:

• Dogra (Unicode block)
• Gunjala Gondi (Unicode block)
• Makasar (Unicode block)

They should probably be added to this template but I'm not completely sure where in the tree they go. Does anyone know? Thanks. DRMcCreedy (talk) 04:08, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
