I want India to rise so that the whole world may
benefit -- Mahatma Gandhi.   Will India help the
Spelling Reform process,  with love & gratitude
to English language, which has benefitted India ?
                                 ------
Will future English have neat spellings? A British
Authority indicates -- Future of English depends
on India. Visit the end  notes on the  Index page

                                --------
India has many languages and scripts. They must
continue and prosper. They have good software.
But, at times,  the software is unavailable, or has
font problems.  English is used in India for higher
education & business.  Its linear Roman script is
easy for emails, search engines, phonebooks etc.
Future inventions for English will readily serve all
languages, if optional Roman lipi (script) is taken.
                                 -------
English  machines without any change, can work
almost phonetically.  M12 ( with English hints) in
website suits Marathi. Note a(a-alone)aa (a-art)
d (th-they) d'(d-dog) likewise (t t' n n' l l') e(egg)
i (is) o (old) u (u-push) ae (a-apple) ao(aw-law)
v (w-win) Equate rhasva-dirgha (hindi = hindee)
Apo(apostrophe mark ' ) helps for the variations
Use smalls (a-z)& 3 dots to end a sentence. Use
capitals (A-Z)to start (names, words)not spelled
in the above manner --  It nearly fully suits Hindi.
Other Indian languages may require few changes.
