Have mercy on the Devnagari script!
by UP Guy on Mar 22, 2008 12:03 AM

Marathi is a language with very uncouth and unpleasant sounds, just like the
Ghattee people.
All one hears is the sound Tumchi Tumchi Tumchi, and nothing else.
It sounds like Hindi brutalized beyond recognition.
So why should I learn such an inferior language?
Particularly when my language Hindi is so good.
Marathis are basically a mixture of Dravidians and tribal people.
Therefore, I beg the Ghattees to please use Tamil script to write their Ghattee
language, and please spare our beautiful Devnagari script from such brutality!
