New First Public Working Drafts: Bengali, Canadian Syllabics, Cherokee, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Mongolian, Osage, Tamil, Tibetan

The Internationalization Activity published the following FPWD documents.

The documents related to language enablement at the W3C continue and expand the work to reorganise information to represent scripts, rather than individual languages. The newly published -lreq documents should be a first port of call for information related to a given script. They point to descriptions about how the scripts work, to tests, to discussions, to type samples, and more, all organised by topic.

Comments welcome, via the GH links indicated at the top of each page.
