= Basic Sample =
A very basic sample with Indic scripts is the following:
<texcode>
%\definefontfamily [kannada] [rm] [Kedage] [features=kannada-one]
\definefontfamily [kannada] [ss] [Tunga] [features=kannada-one]
\definetypeface [kannada] [mm] [math] [modern]
\setupbodyfont [kannada]
\starttext
ಇದು ಹೇಗಿದೆ? ನಾನು ಹೀಗೆ ತುಂಬ ಬರೆಯಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
\stoptext
</texcode>
= Supported Scripts =
The list of Indic scripts supported by ConTeXt MkIV and LMTX are:
* Devanagari
* Bengali
* Gujarati
* Gurmukhi
* Kannada
* Malayalam
* Oriya
* Tamil
* Telugu
In order to get the proper OpenType features, you need to select the proper feature from the following list:
* <code>devanagari-one</code>
* <code>bengali-one</code>
* <code>gujarati-one</code>
* <code>gurmukhi-one</code>
* <code>kannada-one</code>
* <code>malayalam-one</code>
* <code>oriya-one</code>
* <code>tamil-one</code>
* <code>telugu-one</code>
Depending on your font, you might need instead:
* <code>devanagari-two</code>
* <code>bengali-two</code>
* <code>gujarati-two</code>
* <code>gurmukhi-two</code>
* <code>kannada-two</code>
* <code>malayalam-two</code>
* <code>oriya-two</code>
* <code>tamil-two</code>
* <code>telugu-two</code>
== Script Versions ==
[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/scripttags Script tags from the OpenType specification] contains second versions for what might be some (or all [I’m afraid I don’t know]) Indic scripts.
Why are those second versions available? From their own explanation:
<blockquote>
The OpenType script tags can also correlate with a particular OpenType Layout implementation, with the result that more than one script tag may be registered for a given Unicode script (e.g. 'deva' and 'dev2').
</blockquote>
Features ending in <code>-one</code> use the older OpenType implementation, while the ones ending in <code>-two</code> deploy the newer implementation.
= Hyphenation =
Hyphenation patterns aren’t included yet in ConTeXt for any of the mentioned languages.
