Detailed explanation-1: -Despite many attempts, the ‘script’ has not yet been deciphered, but efforts are ongoing.

However, some of the syntax (if that is what it may be termed) varies depending upon location.
Detailed explanation-2: -Scholars of history and archaeology have been asking this question ever since the Bronze Age civilization was discovered back in the mid-19th century. The Indus Valley script is yet to be deciphered.
Detailed explanation-3: -Harappan scripts have not been deciphered yet.
