Member, Language CommitteeThere is a request for Sindi in Devanagari [meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sindhi]. As far as anyone can tell, there is no linguistic difference between this and Arabic-script Sindhi, which already has a Wikipedia at sd.wikipedia.org.
A user has pointed out [meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sindhi&diff=16501764&oldid=16478916] that online conversion between the two scripts should be possible (neither script uses capital letters), so is there any reason we shouldn't just reject this proposal?
Regards,
Antony
