CORRECTION:

Asiatic Society (Bengal) was found in 1784 (NOT 1884)
1877- Alexander Cunningham (Not R.E.M. Wheeler) publishes a set of Asokan inscriptions.

"Most Asokan inscriptions were in the Prakrit language while those in the northwest of the subcontinet were in Aramaic and Greek. The earliest inscriptions were in Prakrit, a name for languages used by ordinary people. Names of rulers such as Ajatasattu and Asoka, known from Prakrit texts and inscriptions, have been spelt in their Prakrit forms."
