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

Thanks  Richard, We are glad to participate in the activity. 

1. As suggested by you, it is important to collate the list of the characters from CLDR that are appropriate to define counter styles for Indian languages. 
2. In regard to suffixes/prefixes, the default suffix can be the full stop with white space. But it is also required to collect the use-cases for different suffixes such that क), (क) etc. Although currently different suffixes are not acceptable in the web technologies say HTML. Although it can be used in other application such as MS word.
3. With respect to the continuation of Indian languages list, it is not fixed. For the wider list, it is prefer to define in the same manners as defined in Latin languages say English.
क ख ग ....... ह कक कख कग.......
It is also prefer not to include characters like Ksha, Gya, shra etc.
Currently the alphabetic counter styles in Indian language are not frequently used for online purpose by the industries as it is not currently implemented by web technologies say HTML, CSS etc. While implemented, it might be used on the web/Digital developers for localization purposes. Although the alphabetic lists are used in printed magazines/text books  or in pdf format etc. 
In order to achieve the above, we are trying to collect the use-cases of the alphabetic counters styles for different Indian languages for submission. When gather the related information we will share these through the W3C repository.
