hi our UTRRS [1] project need to expand for more languages, specially we can start with few Asian languages (currently UTRRS only supports Indian Languages). For start we can add Minimum Unicode code point for those languages. Before that we can start review current status and discuss about future plans.
if you have any thoughts or ideas, we can start sharing now.
Hi Team
In adding more Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean means first of all, we need to add the codepoints as Aman mentioned, according to the Unicode Chart. But these symbolic languages has no GSUB or GPOS as such. As I discussed with Aman, we can try to add some of the locales which follows Bramhi scripts like Thai, Vietnamese or so, as the grammatical rules for these locales more or less like Indic locales in his opinion. If so, then we can add the codepoints of these locales first and then work on adding GSUB or GPOS if exists with research and communicating with the corresponding communities.
We have another task for Indic locales pending which is adding 3rd or above level of conjuncts (GSUB). We need to discuss and request LMs to submit list of 3rd or more levels of conjuncts, in case there are any presence of such list in their respective locales and currently not present in UTRRS instance.
