This special issue focuses on Asian language processing in India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Specifically, it discusses historical background of specific writing systems; script structure and major issues relevant to text processing; important development stages in type-printing and the typewriter era; milestones marked by the design of character code standards for computing; and issues involved in designing a mechanism for input and display interfaces in Asian language computing.
