Re: [predefined-counter-styles] Requirements of Alphabetic Counter Styles for Indian languages (#36)

> @vermaprashant1 thank you for the scans. Could you label them? For example, i can't tell which is Manipuri and which is Assamese. (You should be able to edit the comment.)

 I labeled all the attachments. Kindly let me know if something else.

For this , We are communicating with the language experts for complete list that are preferred by the community.

> 2. what prefix and/or suffix do you want to specify (just the ones in the scans?)

In most of the snaps we find only one types of the suffixes/prefixes say ()

> I assume that you expect all of these styles to be 'alphabetic', ie. there is no end of range limitation specified, and after all the symbols are used we start doubling them (ie. for English that would be a, b, c, ... z, aa, ab...)

We are also discussing with the experts on the same matter.

I want to ask, if we give keyword 'devanagari' with system:numeric than it will automatically generate number list in the devanagari. But for defining Hindi alphabetic listing we have to add 'symbol' keyword that contains the characters code we want as define in readymade counter styles.

Also some languages have more that one scripts say Sindhi, Kashmiri has both Devanagari & Perso-Arabic Script. So in which way  we can define counter styles of both languages with the Script in the same code?
