Changes for Nepali Extension in Inscript
Hello everyone, Thanks for the nice extension. There are few changes in Nepali though. The "V" in Nepali should be "भ" instead of "व". People write investment as इन्भेष्टमेन्ट rather than इन्वेष्टमेन्ट so they expect "भ" sound for "V". The keyboard implemented there is more like a standard keyboard that is used in Nepali. It would be really nice if you could incorporate the keyboard layout that is listed here here.

It would be nice if we could have "a traditional" keyboard and a "romanized" keyboard. The romanized keyboard is more or less already available except that the V needs to be changed. The website has both the keyboards listed as "romanized" and the "traditional" keyboard. Most people used to use the traditional keyboard in the past. The younger generation like the "romanized" because its easy to write in English and they don't have to learn the Nepali keyboard which they call it the traditional keyboard layout. Inscript is used in India whereas "Traditional" used to be used in Nepal.

Thanks.

 * So, you says 'v' should be mapped to 'भ' but the website you pointed out also mapped to 'व'! What should be the name when I add your 'traditional' keyboard to Narayam, like we say 'InScript'?


 * Please also give feedback if any. Thanks --Junaidpv 20:19, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, The keyboard layout should be called as : Nepali Traditional Keyboard Layout and Nepali Romanized Keyboard Layout.
 * 'v' should be 'भ' but I don't want to argue about it. That's okay if we could have Nepali Traditional Keyboard Layout. I have enabled 'भ' for 'v' in Nepali Wikipedia. Its a typo and officially people write इनभेष्टमेन्ट for Investment For example this is the website of an investment bank and भिषा is Visa. Example:  where they talk about Visa and Mastercards. So v is pronounced as 'भ' in Nepali. Virus is भाइरस and Violet is भायोलेट। व is W in Nepali and they make a clear distinction between 'v' and 'w' while pronouncing. 'v' is pronounced by biting or touching the lips and forcing the air out, w is not. W is pronounced by releasing air while the mouth is round. Thanks --RajeshPandey 20:37, 12 September 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, I have updated romanized version according to Nepali wikipedia: r96943. The update will be effective within one day on translatewiki.net, you can test it there.
 * Can you give the link that will be useful for me to create traditional layout? I think this site can be used also. --Junaidpv 06:51, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Enable by Default for everyone
For my site, i wished to enable Narayam for hindi for everyone, including those whose language is set to hindi. Unfortunately, this is not an option so far, but i changed the following to get the effect:::

in Narayam.hooks.php replace >> $userlangCode = $wgLang->getCode; << with >> $userlangCode = 'hi'; <<

Hope this becomes a option in the next release.

-- did not realize there is no transliteration for hindi yet? or is there one i can use? Thanks!!!
