  Devanagari support was added a while ago.  The layout engine was
according to reports working for at least one other Indic script
(Bengali, I think), but not for others (Oriya?  Can’t remember).  I
wouldn’t expect a renderer for Devanagari to do a very good job on Tamil
or Malayalam, for example.

  Hindi uses hyphenation, Urdu doesn’t.  We have patterns for Hindi in
TeX-Hyphen:

        Best,
