Description

Seattle, Washington, USA: University of Washington, 2006 . - 19 p.This proposal seeks to allocate the Maithili script in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (Plane 1) of Unicode. The Maithili script is a Brahmi-based script that is used predominantly in the state of Bihar in India and in Nepal for writing Maithili, an Indo-Aryan language spoken by more than 22 million people worldwide. Maithili is an officially-recognized language of India and the second most-commonly spoken language in Nepal. The Maithili script is associated with a scholarly and scribal tradition that is responsible for the production of literary and philosophical works in the Maithili and Sanskrit languages from at least the 14th century.
