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: The 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), mainstream Nepali, which is the official language in Nepal 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. Devanāgarī is used by over 120 languages both in India and in South-east-Asia. Without the addition, it overlooks the fact about the mainstream Nepali used by approximately 30 million people in Nepal, which is the official language of Nepal and also uses Devanagari script.

Dear Bal, All,
The online meeting is scheduled for today. It will be repeated every two weeks.
The meeting proposed by Dr. Ajay Data on 28 April is an additional meeting– for a face to face opportunity for those who are in Delhi. Based on local arrangements, we can also open the IDN meeting room for those members not in Delhi to join remotely. We will confirm on remote participation for this meeting later.
