With all due respect for the work that you are doing Sameer, I would
like to disagree here. People often speak like this - "this is written
in Marathi, Hindi, Nepali". While they are referring to the language but
most people don’t know the underlying script name.

Rather I would suggest that we add new aliases for Devanagari - like
Marathi, Nepali... whichever language is using the same script.
