The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Linguistics by PH
Matthews distinguishes
Indic scripts from the Dravidian scripts, clearly specifying that Indic
refers to the languages belonging to the Indo-Aryan Family (see page 175 of
This is one particular - and concise - dictionary. There are many
other sources that don't make this distinction, for example the
Unicode Consortium's documents about South Asian scripts:
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.1.0/
Unicode calls all South Asian scripts "Indic". This is the common term
in discussions of computing in these languages, which this list is
about.
