Abstract
The world population is 7.7 billion and the largest and most populous continent is Asia having 59.66% of the total world population. Southern Asia accounts for 39.49%, out of which South-East has 8.59% ranking third. Whereas, Western Asia is equivalent to 3.59% and ranks fourth in world population. This region hosts a variety of languages, playing a critical role in the polygraphia formation, sharing of one script by several languages which have applications in multilingual access to patents, business regulatory information for independently evaluating all regional market requirements. Ideographic languages in Southeast Asian scripts are left-to-right or vertically top-to-bottom is more flexible in their writing direction. This paper presents the challenges involved in analyzing handwritten and printed documents. The review work of popular scripts namely Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Sinhala, Balinese and Arabic using various methods of feature extraction and different classifiers are represented in this paper. It summarizes most of the existing methodologies in the papers published by various researchers.
