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
