Um, cultural relativism people: In case you don't remember, Hindu is written in
Sanskrit. English is a second official language of India but hand writing
recognition while possible would not make much sense and would be prohibitively
expensive.
I do believe in neighboring pakistan they use the arabic alphabet. And I know
for a fact tamil uses an alphabet which looks to my non-expert eyes like its
derived from Sanskrit but which definitely has lots of characters which are not
in Sanskrit.
And of the three hundred odd languages in the indian sub-continent those are
the ones that I know something about. I do believe Nepali is written in a
sanskrit derived alphabet - but could be wrong.
Reminds me of a recent currency discussion. Ack, gag..
