Hi,
In India, We have electricity and internet problems, and even Offline
Wikipedia also shows limitation if person is unable to read/person with
disabilities to read..
It may be useful to have *basic health related Indic articles* covered
on Spoken
Wikipedia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spoken_Wiki…
.
It will create general awareness about common diseases like Diabetics,
Cancer, Dengue etc.
(Multimedia) Mobile Phones penetration in rural area is high, and Indic
Language Spoken articles can be circulated easily via chain messaging or
via operators.
Please have a look at -

What do you think?

It would be any

without knowing the

and what precedes the word. I suppose this should
give Anirudh the same
authority to instruct what words are wrong in context of your homeland,
incognizant of any political undertones and cultural issues?
Ignoring the somewhat ad hominem nature of the argument, you do
realize that "Indic" is something that is used at the Unicode
Consortium to denote the group of Indo-European languages comprising
Sanskrit and the modern Indian languages that are its descendants.

The Wikipedia seems to use Indic and Brahmic scripts as synonyms of
each other. Does your contention hold in that case ?
Admittedly, we are a bit off the original topic.

well, my opinion is that these have evolved in a complimentary/
collaborative environment & certainly Tamil couldn't have existed in
seclusion any-time in the past.

As far as this discussion is concerned, it does not seem that we need to
be much bothered about the history and background. What we need to focus on
is the word in its current context, so, Indic and Indian languages, with
particular reference to display standards, and therefore the direction of
work needed to ensure that pages can display correctly on as many devices
as follow the standards.
From recent posts, it seems that Unicode acknowledges two families of
scripts, namely Indic and Brahmic. If this is the correct situation, I see
no confusion in defining the work ahead.

No - Indic scripts and Brahmic scripts are two words for the same
thing, at least in Unicode documents.
