Hi Dominik, this is how I'm doing it. Hope it helps.
Best,

So what would be a canonical way to set up \saDev{xxx} for typesetting
Sanskrit in Devanagari, and \saIAST{yyy} for typesetting Sanskrit in
Roman script, with both getting correct Sanskrit hyphenation from the
same hyph-sa.tex file?
Something like this?
\newfontfamily\devanagarifont
[Script=Devanagari,
Mapping=iast]
{Sanskrit 2003}
\def\saDev{{\devanagarifont #1}} % type in IAST transliteration and
get Devanagari with Devanagari hyphenation from hyph-sa.tex
\newfontfamily\iastfont
[Script=Devanagari]
{Sanskrit 2003}
\def\saIAST{\emph{{\iastfont #1}}} % type in IAST transliteration and
get Latin script with Sanskrit hyphenation from hyph-sa.tex
Does "Script=Devanagari" turn on the hypy-sa hyphenation file?
Best,
Dominik
