| Title | <p>This International Standard provides tables which enable the transliteration into Latin characters from text in Indic</p>
<p>scripts which are largely specified in rows 09 to 0D of UCS (ISO/IEC 10646-1 and Unicode).</p>
<p>The tables provide for the Devanagari, Bengali (including the characters used for writing Assamese), Gujarati,</p>
<p>Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, and Telugu scripts which are used in India, Nepal,</p>
<p>Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, and Oriya scripts are North Indian</p>
<p>scripts, and the Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu scripts are South Indian scripts.</p>
<p>The Burmese, Khmer, Thai, Lao and Tibetan scripts which also share a common origin with the Indic scripts, and</p>
<p>which are used predominantly in Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Bhutan and the Tibetan Autonomous</p>
<p>Region within China, are not covered by this International Standard.</p>
<p>This International Standard applies to transliteration of Devanagari, and to Indic scripts related to Devanagari,</p>
<p>independent of the period in which it is or was used (i.e. for Devanagari script it can be used for transliterating text</p>
<p>in classical Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, and the Vedic language, for instance).</p>
<p>Other Indic scripts whose character repertoires are covered by the tables may also be transliterated using this</p>
<p>International Standard.</p>
<p>Options in this International Standard are defined in clause 9.</p> |
