<div dir="ltr">This is not related to Devanagari as a script but to a language. Sanskrit was originally written in the Devanagari (or maybe even in Brahmi, I am not such an expert) but since Hindu and Buddhists texts and prayers use Snaskrit up to now and people form other parts of the Indian subcontinent need not know Devanagari, Sanskrit is now written in other scripts. Even the Tibetan scripts contains charcters not used in the Tibetan language but they were included so that the Sanskrit texts could be written also in the Tibetan script. In the textbooks of Snascrit and in dictionaries a Latin transliteration is used, therefore the support is important. The modification suggested by Dominik gives an information saying which scripts are supported by the package so far.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div>
