Kannada (Kanarese or Canarese) script is derived from the Old Kannada script. Old Kannada script which evolved around 10th century, is the continuation of the Kadamba script which in turn came during 4th century CE.

The Kadamba script is said to have evolved from the Proto-Kannada script (during 4th century CE). The Kadamba script is also known as Pre-Old-Kannada script. The Proto-Kannada evolved from the ancient Brahmi script around 3rd century BCE.
