Questions tagged [indic]

Indic scripts are the writing systems that are used by languages spoken by about two billion people in India and its neighboring countries, as well is Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Indonesia. These scripts developed from the ancient Brahmic script and share similar features, which make them challenging for use in computers: many ligatures, complex letter ordering rules and partial support in common operating systems.
