<div dir="ltr">OK, thanks for the clarification Dr. Sarmad. I will try to attend today's meeting. Just in case, for some technical reasons or other, I would not be able to join, could you note the following addition in blue text that I have for Section 3 - Background on Script and Principal Languages Using It from the recent document on the LGR Proposal for Devanagari that was circulated recently:<div><br></div><div>

script called Nāgarī or Devanāgarī is written from left to right.
Historically it derives from the Brāhmī alphabet of the Ashokan
inscriptions. Devanāgarī is currently used for 11 out of 22
official languages of India (Boro/Bodo, Dogri, Hindi, Kashmiri,
Konkani, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, Santhali and Sindhi),
</font></font></font><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Cambria, serif"><font style="font-size:12pt">mainstream
Nepali, which is the official language in Nepal</font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Cambria, serif"><font style="font-size:12pt">
and around 45 other languages especially the related Indo-Aryan
languages: Bagheli, Bhili, Bhojpuri, Himachali dialects, Magahi,
Newari and Rajasthani and its dialects: Marwari, Mewati, Shekhawati,
Bagri, Dhundhari, Harauti and Wagri. Closely associated with Sanskrit
and Prakrit, it is an alternative script for Kashmiri (by Hindu
speakers), Sindhi and Santhali. It is growing popular in use by
speakers of tribal languages of Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar and Andaman
& Nicobar Islands. The script is also used in Fiji to represent
Fiji Hindi. Hindi is also used in Mauritius, Malaysia, England,
Canada, South Africa, Indonesia as well as emigrant communities
around the world.</font></font></font></font></p>

is used by over 120 languages both in India and in South-east-Asia. </font></font></font></font>
