The Indus script (also known as the Harappan script) is a corpus of symbols produced by the Indus Valley inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not these symbols constituted a script used to record a language, or even symbolise a writing system.
In spite of many attempts, the 'script' has not yet been deciphered, but Languages: Unknown (see Harappan language). What I found was that aside from publication of the Corpus of Indus Seals and Inscriptions books by the University of Helsinki, no progress had.
This is a small corpus, comprising some 40 texts, written in a new script and on a different support than the inscriptions in monumental writing engraved on stone, bronze or rocks.
The first two wooden sticks texts were discovered at the beginning of the 's, during clandestine excavations in as-Sawdāʾ. The Indus script is one of the major undeciphered scripts of the ancient world. The small size of the corpus, the absence of bilingual texts, and the lack of definite knowledge of the underlying language has frustrated efforts at decipherment since the discovery of the remains of the Indus civilisation.

Professor Parpola is the chief editor of the Corpus of Indus Seals and Inscriptions. His ideas about the script, the linguistic affinity of the Harappan language, and the nature of the Indus religion are informed by a remarkable command of Aryan, Dravidian, and Mesopotamian sources, archaeological materials, and linguistic by: So far, inscriptions from the ancient civilisation have remained an enigma.
A majority of the Indus Valley inscriptions were written logographically (by using word signs) and not by using phonograms (speech sounds units), claims a recent research paper published in Palgrave Communications, a Nature group journal.

We couldn't get around to do the second part of the work. So the challenge still remains. [*] The Indus Script: Texts, Concordance and Tables, Memoirs of Archaeological Survey of India, No. 77, New Delhi,
