This seems to imply that all other Indian writing systems work pretty much the same as this one. I’m not an expert, but I’ve heard claims that there significant differences between Indian writing systems, especially between southern ones such as Tamil and Malayalam and the northern ones. If that’s the case, such differences should be documented. This document seems to cover Devanagari and similar scripts. I do not think it is useful to include South Indian scripts such as Tamil, or scripts like Sinhala, in this document. These should be covered in a different document. Gihan ICTA Sri Lanka
