Vaibhav: That is not the case; only a tiny minority of Kashmiri Hindus use
devanagari script, and this is a very recent development.
Purodha: I'm well aware of language policy, I was under the impression that
languages which were identical but used two different non-convertible scripts
could be allowed separate Wikis; anyhow this is all at the total discretion of
langcom.
Several of the issues with conversion are outlined here:
http://kashmiruniversity.academia.edu/AadilKak/Papers/553013/Building_a_Cross_Script_Kashmiri_Converter_Issues_and_Solutions
even with an extensive rule-based system, only 90% accuracy is reached, a level
unacceptable for a major reference work (should be over 99%). With regards to
the issue of which script is used by whom, note that that document reaffirms
what I've said that Devanagari is usually not used for works in the language,
but rather mostly for works in Hindi *about* the language (linguistic studies,
for example).
