Yes, it's a subset of Sanskrit.But because of it's structure ,completely
different from Sanskrit.
The complexity of Vedic Sanskrit starting from the Font Design and to
enable this 5Tier architecutre in a Rendering engine(spacing issue between
the lines).
Font design in context to Vedic Sanskrit language is a challenge considering
its complex orthographic structure, multi-tier usages of diacritic marks of
complex compositions, signs that appear above, below and at sides of the
base character, integrated multi-consonant conjuncts, multiple syllabic
combinations.
And CDAC Mumbai (prof.R.K.Joshi and team) achieved this by using Indix
rendering Engine with an Open Type Vedic Sanskrit using undefined Unicode
values (Before India Govt. Submitting the proposal to Unicode).
