Brief Overview:

The Neo-Brahmi Script Generation Panel (NBGP) was formed by nine communities that use scripts derived from the Brahmi script. NBGP is developing Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) for Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil and Telugu scripts. The GP is publishing the proposals for the LGRs of these nine scripts in three sets, releasing proposals for the scripts which share cross-script variant code points together to the extent possible. The first set is already undergoing public comment and the second set, being released now, includes the following proposals: (1) Proposal for the Kannada Script Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone, (2) Proposal for the Oriya Script Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone, and (3) Proposal for the Telugu Script Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone. As per the LGR Procedure, these proposals are being posted for public comments to allow those who have not participated in the NBGP to make their views known. Based on the feedback, the NBGP will finalize each proposal for its evaluation and integration into the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone.
