=============================
  Language July 2007        Multilangauge,
  Multiscript  India uses English for higher
  business and education.  So devices for
  English are spreading fast. Local scripts
  have merits.  Their fonts & programs too 
  are made, but may prove unworkable for
  e-dialogues etc. Roman script (= lipi) is 
  then used, with confusion about English 
  loan words. Basis should be (a) English
  devices will serve, without new symbols.
  (b) Near-phonetic writing. (c) Recast, or
  Alert on English spellings. Refer E15 in
  (www.mngogate.com) with special uses
  of capitals, apo, 3 dots (Refer E03 M12
  M21 if time permits). Marathi poem part
  & prose below (& end notes in English).
  Linear Roman suits typing, phonebooks
  dictionaries, emails and search engines.
  (html ) format places apo near symbols.
  Adjust lipi for other languages. Practise.
