[Wikipedia-l] Indian languages and grants (was Re: Combined effort)

[Patrick Hall]

It's worth mentioning that there are a few languages which are new to
the web that are mostly encoded in Unicode -- Amharic comes to mind.
There is Amharic content produced both within and outside of Ethiopia
in Unicode. As opposed to Hindi, for which there are a multiplicity of
legacy encodings.

Encouraging Wikipedias in such languages may early may pay dividends,
since it's likely that users that read existing content will be have
fonts installed already (input is another issue).
