So can I conclude that what The Ethnologue displays (using a private-use
ISO 15924 "Qabl") is wrong ?
And that translations classified under "mgp-Brah" are fine (while
"mgp-Qabl" would be unusable for interchange) ?

As I pointed out in L2/11-144, the “Magar Akkha” script is an appropriation of
Brahmi, renamed to link it to the primordialist daydreams of an
ethno-linguistic community in Nepal. I have never seen actual usage of the
script by Magars. If things have changed since 2011, I would very much
Also we can note that "mgp" (Eastern Magari) is severely endangered

This is still not the case for Western Magari (mostly on Nepal, not in

It would be premature to assign an ISO 15924 script code, pending the
research to
According to Ethnolog, the Eastern Magar language (mgp) is written in two
scripts: Devanagari and "Akkha".
But the "Akkha" script does not seem to have any ISO 15924 code.
The Ethnologue currently assigns a private use code (Qabl) for this script.
