Thanks, please see a few comments below.

Please place this part in lisp/language/misc.el, not on a separate
file.

This last line should be removed, no?

Note that according to the rule above, a sequence
consonant modifier vowel
will not be composed, although it matches the regexp, because its
second character is not a virama. Is this okay?

Can you please reformat this to have just one rule per line? It will
make that easier to read and maintain.
Last, but not least: these changes are too large for us to accept
without a copyright assignment. Would you be willing to start the
legal paperwork of the copyright assignment at this time? If yes, I
will send you the form to fill and the instructions to email the form.
Thank you for your interest in Emacs.
