Eukesh's statement is misleading. Kashmiri was written in Sharda script in
ancient times; it is now written in Arabic (Nastaleeq) script by virutally all
speakers. Arabic script is the official script for the language in India. When
Eukesh says that "most of the editors" have used Devanagari, he is referring to
a single editor who published hundreds of stubs written in the wrong language
(Sanskrit), which hardly seems relevant.
Although computer support for the Kashmiri language is still problematic and
difficult, Devanagari is not required to be a part of this strategy as it is
rarely used to actually write Kashmiri. I also think that Eukesh's devanagari
transliteration tool should be turned off by default at ks.wp, since in its
current state it impedes development by users who speak the language and wish
to write in the official Arabic script.
