I will use the case of Devanagari to explain the proposal: a number of languages uses Devanagari as the script---Hindi, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Konkani, etc. Pankaj says that one might not know that their language uses the _script_ called Devanagari as people rarely speak about the _script_ itself but more about their _language_. At least to me, it is far less natural to speak about the script a language uses; we mostly speak of the language itself and refer to the script as "the way we write X language" (note how I don't use the word "script" at all here).
