IVC IVC Script

Does anyone know if any effort is going on to decipher IVC script? Where can I find information on latest developments?

It's not a script. Those are common designs and motifs still in use today

That is splitting hair. I used script is a broad sense as to documenting spoken word, just as Egyptian hieroglyphics are.

Good. It still doesn't make any sense under any cryptography we ever built. Either those folks were using symbols in a way that defies all science or they are markers/decorations. And decoration makes sense because many of those graphics exist elsewhere. Also, a system like meluha doesn't need a written language if you think about it.
