Availability of domain in Oriya was long awaited and finally met herewith. In this spectacular work, I could find all the essential Oriya letters and their allophones to write all types Oriya texts viz. traditional, social, spiritual, scientific etc. So this Oriya orthography is complete and has wide applicability. Thanks, ICANN team for this praiseworthy work. -- Regards, Amresh Mishra Mobile: +353-899444793 Email: amreshtech(a)gmail.com

Our Oriya alphabet owes its origin to Brahmi script and thus has both bilabial plosive 'Ba' (ବ) and nonplosive dentolabial 'Va' (ଵ). I am really happy to know that ICANN has included both these. As such scholars of all sectors can find it useful. The later addition of Wa/ୱ has also been included. Oriya is written as it is spoken and hence to avoid confusion a perfect Oriya script requires all these letters. It's a great work that no persons will be disappointed while asking for a domain name of their choice. Best wishes, Nistha Ranjan Dash Audiologist & Speech Therapist Ph: 9437905307

[Comments-kannada-oriya-telugu-08aug18] Comment for Oriya domain name

It is nice to know that Internet Domain Names will be soon supported in Oriya (Odia) Languuage. The same Oriya (Odia) script has been used for Oriya language as well as many other tribal languages of Odisha such as Munda, Kui, Ho, Juanga, Oram, Kishan, Gond, Koya etc, As such the provision by ICANN to use Nukta (dot) for various consonants such as କ, ଖ, ଗ, ଚ, ଜ, ଡ, ଢ etc. will enable to precisely express all those languages which use Oriya script.

[Comments-kannada-oriya-telugu-08aug18] Integration Panel Comment on the Kannada and Telugu LGR Proposals
by Asmus Freytag Sept. 5, 2018

Sept. 5, 2018

For Public Comment on the Kannada and Telugu LGR Proposals In reviewing the Sinhala LGR proposal, the IP noted that the Sinhala GP considers the Kannada and Telugu letters distinct enough so as to not contain any candidates for cross-script variants. The IP notes that the Kannada and Telugu LGR proposals contain a proposed cross-script relation for the letter RA as well as some dependent letters between the respective scripts and Sinhala. The IP is a bit skeptical as to whether the letter RA / RAYANNA case rises to the level of a variant and would like to encourage the NeoB GP to review the matter. In doing so, the GP is encouraged to engage in dialog with the Sinhala GP and to come to a mutual understanding. If the review by the GP concludes that the Kannada/Telugu RA and Sinhala RAYANNA are distinct after all, the fix would be to remove that variant (as well as all variants for dependent characters). If the review comes to the opposite conclusion, the IP would expect some added discussion in the LGR proposal text that better documents why it is important that this particular variant should be included. -Integration Panel
