OMNIGLOT

While roaming over google, I just got into this interesting site. http://www.omniglot.com. It has scripts of about 150 writing systems of the world. The site claims that most of the sanskrit and other indian languages are derived from "Brahmi" script. But the present day indian scripts seems to have no relation with the Brahmi script. Easily one can use this site to learn literally any language's alphabets. Also this site features a puzzle section, in which some half-written or bewildering inscriptions on stones and objects are presented for viewers to decipher it.
