The Kadamba alphabet developed from the Brahmi script during the Kadamba dynasty (325-500 AD). It was used in what are now the Indian states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Goa to write Sanskrit, Kannada and sometimes Marathi. It is known from inscriptions in stone pillars and on copper plates. The Kadamba alphabet is also known as the Pre Old-Kannada script.
By the 10th century, Kadamba evolved into the Old Kannada script, and was used to write Kannada and Telugu.
