[Neobrahmigp] Draft Devanagari LGR

[Akshat Joshi]

Dear All,

Please find attached, most recent version of the Devangari LGR with all 
the suggestions/changes incorporated till date.

We are still in process of getting information on the languages which 
use Devanagari, fall within EGIDS scale 1 to 4 and are yet to be covered 
by the NBGP. If we can complete that by end of August, we will release 
the final version of the Devanagari LGR document which can be sent to 
Integration Panel for their review.

I hope this pre-final draft will act as a good basis for tomorrow's call.


There are two things that I have marked in red in the document.
1. The name of the accompanying XML file which we will finalize after 
the finalization of the LGR rules and repertoire. You may please ignore 
that for now.
2. Some of the languages which are yet to be taken into account

Major changes done to the document are:
1. Changes suggested by Dr. Bal regarding name change to Newar and 
Nepali being official language of Nepal
2. Additional Halanta ending variant has been added (up for discussion)
3. Principles for inclusion of characters have been added in Guiding 
Principles section (up for discussion)
4. The case of V preceded by an H has been explicitly mentioned under 
the WLE section (up for discussion)

Regards,
Akshat Joshi
