nella mail dice:
The current convention that has been followed is to use `name` for the local 
name in latin script. The reasoning if I remember was two fold: - English being 
one of the official languages, latin script is widely used in cities and in 
public signages in smaller towns. Only in villages it is uncommon. - Keeping 
the tagging convention simple[3], that could be used throughout the country in 
a standard way


e anche il wiki lo conferma:

India has many languages and writing systems. The community convention is to 
use the Roman alphabet ('English') for the name key and to use the name in the 
local script for the "name:lang" key. Wherever possible, add the names in all 
languages that you can; this will make it possible to create maps in multiple 
languages. 
For example, to name the city of Bengaluru (Bangalore), use the following keys 
and values: 
Key     Value
name    Bengaluru
name:kn ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು
name:ta பெங்களுரு



----

se fosse il nome in inglese dovrebbe essere name=Bangalore


ciao,
Martin
