Archaelogist have traced scripts back but they have yet to figure out what language it is because of such little writing on them. The reconstructed vocabulary of Munda does not reflect the Harappan culture. The Dravidian languages are spoken in southern India. The language of Brahui is spoken in modern pakistan. The language is very hard to figure out because the writing that was left behind does not give us very much information of what language that Harappan people actually used.]]> 2017-10-17 13:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/treyposton/djyp5ib7i6n2/wish/197783097 treyposton https://padlet.com/treyposton/djyp5ib7i6n2/wish/197785848 Personally I believe that the most significant achievement was the development of urban sanitization systems. Personal Hygiene seemed very important to them. One of the reasons I believe this is very important is it prevents illness. There are lots of other reasons why you would want the people to be clean and have some sort of personal hygiene but this prevented people from getting very sick from germs and spreading the illness to other people. In conclusion I believe that the most significant acievment they made was sanitization because it made the area a lot more clean and the people a lot more clean resulting in less illnesses.]]> 2017-10-17 13:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/treyposton/djyp5ib7i6n2/wish/197785848
