[XeTeX] Polyglossia error(s) for Marathi language

[Zdenek Wagner]

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.
