There could also be a distant relationship with the Brahmi script / family [1]

Some characters have similarities. The Brahmi 𑀕 may be related to the <Gimel> 𐤂 character in the tablet. Other characters like the "tha" (the O with a dot in the middle), the (, the O, the ) and some others also appear to have common traits.

There almost certainly is a distant relationship. Almost all writing systems in Eurasia are derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphics through the Phoenician script, which gave us the Greek, Latin, Syriac, Hebrew, Arabic, and the Brahmi script, among others. The only system in use today in the whole world which isn't derived from Phonecian is Chinese and even there its derivatives like Japanese kana and Korean hangul were influenced by knowledge of alphabetic writing via India.

To find something unrelated would be monumental and would suggest another culture independently invented writing, something known to have happened only a few times (Egypt, China, Mesopotamia, Mayans, maybe the Indus Valley civilization, plus a handful of other disputed instances).

> An initial comparative analysis conducted with over 20 languages shows that the characters, which could belong to an aboriginal Caucasian population, beside proto-Georgian and Albanian writing signs, bear some similarities with Semitic, Brahmani, and North Iberian characters.
