In my native language, there is a language called Assamese, and another language called Bengali. Both of these are written in a script which in my native language has been called Bengali for a very, very long time. I think it is really very impolite of you to complain about what my native language calls things. > Well I am trying to tell Unicode that “Assamese” is not a barbarian > language without a script. No. It is a noble and beautiful language with literature and poetry. And it is written in a script which in my native language is called Bengali. English too is a noble and beautiful language with literature and poetry. And it is written in a script which in my native language is called Latin. And I don't complain about it.
