Dear All,

Please find attached, Draft Devanagari LGR copy which may be sent to
Integration Panel for their detailed review. Only house-keeping changes are
still needed which mostly pertain to the non-normative sections of both the
documents. In XML, descriptive text needs to be added while in LGR doc
file, names of members who all contributed, need to be added. I will soon
and share the changes tracked version of the same. As I am out of town till
13th Oct, will do that post 13th. The list of valid and invalid words will
also be shared post 13st at the earliest possible time.

Most of the changes as suggested by the IP in their feedback have been
accommodated. Following is short summary of changes and replies to earlier
IP feedback.

1. Halant ending variant has been removed.

2. Nepali corpus words getting invalidated:

As rightly pointed by IP, all the below words are invalid as per Nepali
writing norms, hence they did not pass the test. Wrong construct ऒ् i.e. V
+ H

शऒ्ढया‎ (0936 0912 094D 0922 092F 093E)
शऒ्ढयाका‎ (0936 0912 094D 0922 092F 093E 0915 093E)
शऒ्ढयाको‎ (0936 0912 094D 0922 092F 093E 0915 094B)
शऒ्ढयालगायत‎ (0936 0912 094D 0922 092F 093E 0932 0917 093E 092F 0924)
‎शैऒ्ढयाको‎ (0936 0948 0912 094D 0922 092F 093E 0915 094B)

3. "अफगानिस्तान" should have passed the test. In this XML version it does.
Not sure what must have went wrong.

4. Hindi Corpus:

सू़जन‎ (0938 0942 093C 091C 0928) - Wrong sequence Cons+Matra+Nukta
अरब़‎ (0905 0930 092C 093C) - Ba+Nukta is not permissible. Maybe a typo.

5. All the references pertaining to INSCRIPT standard have been withdrawn
as it is not available online, being a paid resource. Instead, omniglot
references have been added.

6. Rationale for excluded code-points could not be added. Will be added
soon.

In my opinion, Dr. Sarmad you may please take this to the IP if there are
no immediate substantial comments on the mailing list.

Dear  All,

Please find attached, copy of the Devanagari LGR which can be submitted to
Integration Panel for their early comments.

The Devanagari LGR document is also accompanied with the XML file of the
same.

Dr. Data you may please take this to the IP with following points:

1. In the XML, framing of the rule "follows-only-C-or-CN" has been done as
per our understanding. It may need corrections. Request IP to suggest.

2. Variants:

    - As per reciprocity of variants, the variant sequences have been
reproduced in the <data> section. It may need corrections. Request IP to
suggest.

    - The "Halant ending" variants mentioned in section 6.2 in LGR document
is a case of conditional and null variant. It was not clear how to put that
in XML. It has not been done. Request IP to suggest.

3. Some of the language's data is expected to be received in few days. Once
received, that too will be incorporated into this. Those have been marked
in red.

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)

Akshat Joshi

Request all to give the feedback on the same so that it can be finally
modified for sending across to the Integration Panel for comments.

2. Some of the languages which are yet to be taken into account

Apart from that, I have taken into consideration the feedback received for
Nepali and Newari . Only the Variants have not been taken into account as
they conflict with the "No confusingly similar cases as Variants" policy of
LGR Procedure. I will separately reply to the proposed variants in Nepali
and Newari. However, some such cases pertaining to Santhali have been added
to the Variant table. We can discuss the same over the mails. If required,
will make further changes if needed.

Major changes done to the document are:
1. Akshar formation rules have been simplified and inapplicable cases have
been removed e.g. Avagraha and Digits
2. Anusvara and Chandrabindu have been made separate categories as
discussed in the Kathmandu F2F meet.
3. Santhali nukta requirements have been incorporated and the WLE section
has been modified accordingly.
4. List of languages has been modified as per the EGIDS scale 1 to 4
5. Guiding principles have been added for code-point selection
6. Code-points as required by Sindhi and Kashmiri have been added
