(just terminological purity - to avoid ambiguity) The Ra from Assamese language is actually defined in Bangla charts in the unicode standards; since Bangla is the script used by the Assamese language. Please notice the difference between _script_ and _language_. Also, it is recognised (among Sanskrit knowing people) to use any convenient script for writing Sanskrit. The the most popular being ISKON, which publishes Bhagwad Gita in Latin script. Errr... if you do not get it - you are reading the Latin script right now. So, most of Indic scripts have strange characters* (strange from the point of view of people who normally use the language normally written using that script); these exist for transcription of other (mostly Sanskrit). This probably explains the fear expressed by some that satisfying this particular requirement will corrupt the Bangla script / Bengali language. (* VOCALIC LLA in any Indic script is mostly used for trasncription; it is actually the South Indian tongue twister pronounced "ZHA" by we Southies). Of course, thanks for volunteering. -- Mahesh T.
