Introduction
------------------------
This project contains 23 Enhanced Inscript keyboard layouts for Indic languages.
These are m17n keyboard layouts and are based on the standard "IS 16350:2016"
adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Indian language technologies and products Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.
Currently, The standard can be downloaded from
https://standardsbis.bsbedge.com/BIS_searchstandard.aspx?Standard_Number=IS+16350&id=22277
These keymaps are tested on Fedora 15 with iBus input method and requires AltGr
support in IM.

Naming of the keymaps
------------------------
Considering there are languages that can be written using more than one scripts, this 
new enhanced keymaps are named like
 <Langcode>-inscript2-<Scriptcode>.mim
However, for languages which uses only single script, keymap names are kept in old style.
 <Langcode>-inscript2.mim

Icon files

The icon files for the keymaps are borrowed from the m17n-contrib project.
