It appears that the Indian government will submit an 'Assamese' proposal. http://silchar.com/unicode-standard-for-assamese-in-the-offing/
Since everything I know about Assamese Script indicates that it is basically the same as Bengali and the Unicode Assamese controversy is derived entirely from a sub-nationalistic fit over character and script names, I expect that this proposal will not be accepted. However, 'popular nationalism' will probably be used to attack Unicode then. David Faulks
