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 multiple sets, releasing proposals for the scripts which share cross-script variant code points together to the extent possible. The first and the second sets are already undergoing public comment and the third set, being released now, includes the following proposals: (1) Proposal for the Malayalam Script Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone, (2) Proposal for the Tamil Script Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone. As per the LGR Procedure [PDF, 772 KB], 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.
