@vermaprashant1 Thank you for these pointers. I'd be happy to add Indian alphabetic styles, but we need some additional information first, which is not available from CLDR (as far as i know). Are you able to supply the following for each language? 1. When you refer us to the exemplar characters in CLDR, i assume that you mean those listed under _Others: index_. (The list under _Main letters_ is usually not appropriate.) These are described as " “shortcut” letters for quickly jumping to sections of a sorted, indexed list (for an example, see mu.edu)." It's not necessarily the case that such a list of characters is also appropriate for a list using counter styles. Can you confirm suitability for each language? 2. What are the appropriate suffixes/prefixes for lists (eg. in the list item you are reading here right now, there is a suffix using U+002E FULL STOP plus U+0020 SPACE. There should at least be a default specified, but there may be more than one style of suffix/prefix usage for a given counter style – i'm thinking of adapting the document to show those as alternatives, going forward. 3. What happens when the list of items to which the counter style is applied is longer than the list of alphabetic characters? It's important to know whether this is a fixed list, one that starts again once it reaches the end, or one that adds characters going forward, such as aa., ab., ac., etc. Ideally, we'd also like to have evidence of use in the form of scans or at least pointers to online content, showing the counter style in use. Can you help with that? (We may want to add any pictures to the Type Samples repo at https://w3c.github.io/type-samples/) If you can provide the above information/confirmation i'd be glad to add these things, as i mentioned. However, it would really help a lot if you yourself could either raise a PR, or add the proposed content to this thread. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/predefined-counter-styles/issues/36#issuecomment-805719348 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
