This is a problem on this kind of list.  We have a hard time commenting
on all possible languages, also when someone asked about Bengali last
week.  I dont know Bengali or Malayalam.  I only know Gujarati and Hindi
(and those of you who know me prb arent so sure about the latter ;)

Makes me think of Nehru, who wanted to create a common script for many
of the Indian languages.  Maybe it wasnt a terrible idea...
