While gathering usage frequency data for many
language scripts,
I classified them into 6 categories (see enclosed
):
Will all of these scripts be frequently
used in IDN ?
At least #3 archaic scripts and #4 won't and
for #1 and #2 , i am neutral yet.
I am working on #5.
I can find many similarities and ambiguities across these
language scripts.
Many Indian language scripts came from the same mother
language
'Brahmi' and have similarly-looking
scripts and numerals .
