According to Wikipedia, the Wancho script was invented 10 years ago; Wancho is normally written using the Latin alphabet or Devanagari. Some schools are starting to teach writing Wancho using that alphabet instead of the well-known alphabet. I suppose there is a campaign for Wancho speakers to switch to it. Is that really a good idea? I suspect it comes from a sort of boosterism/ethnic nationalism, as if having your own script were a mark of importance. But I think it is counterproductive to introduce more incompatibility of scripts. Do we really want to spend time on Emacs supporting scripts which were created recently and have little user base? English does not have an alphabet of its own; it uses an alphabet borrowed from Latin. Maybe English needs more prestige to compete with Chinese and Hindi. Should we invent a new English alphabet? -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
