I'm not sure what you mean. Devanagari is the main category that 
determines the kind of processing. Different languages have different 
details. So, already for many years there is support for a bunch of 
these languages and some time ago a few more were added.

This is something that Kai Eigner and I work ok occasionally and Kai did 
most of the logic, looking at what uniscribe does. He does high quality 
typesetting jobs so you can bet that it works (or worked) for the 
scripts/language combinations that he's familiar with.
