Mistake
editThe inscription seems to be in two different languages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.167.246.75 (talk) 11:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- A good deal of borrowing from Sanskrit is there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.200.136 (talk) 08:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Note
edit"DUA LAKSA" and "DUA PULAUH RIBU" both mean 20,000 , not 2,000 Giladzuc (talk) 15:04, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[giladzuc]
Pallava was a Tamil King, from south India. He introduced the culture in this area. Absolutely it was a form of Tamil that is seen in that script. Also, malai is a Tamil word meaning "hill" hilly area, and that was why the land was called "malay". simple as that.
Pallava script and Tamil script
editPallava script is a precursor to Tamil script. It cannot be named Tamil Pallava script right. Tamil script derived from Pallava script used for Tamil and Grantha which is similarly derived from Pallava and closely related with Tamil script with the addition of word for certain sounds used for Sanskrit. Similarly this incription uses Pallava script to write old malay. Writing it as Tamil Pallava is contraindication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.101.156.113 (talk) 09:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
