1 This Indian Standard on "Indian Language Technologies Transliteration of Indic Scripts into Latin Characters" establishes guidelines for transliterating Indic scripts into Latin characters, which are used in digital content creation, transcription, and data exchange. The Indian standard applies to the following Indic scripts: Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Meetei Mayek, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu.
2 The standard defines a unified transliteration system known as IS/ISO 15919, which ensures standardization of transliteration across all scripts. It also provides guidelines for the use of diacritic marks, punctuation, and case within transliterated text. Additionally, it defines the representation of loanwords, numerals, and symbols in transliterated text.
3 The objective of this standard is to facilitate accurate and consistent transliteration of Indic scripts into Latin characters, which is crucial for enabling efficient digital communication in a multilingual country like India.
