I don’t remember I got offended by any of the emails in this mailing
list. Intention is what matters to. And it is all good here. No worries.

I am not disagreeing to what you are saying. My concern is habit and
usability. People usually search for language.

Technically, one entry is enough for showcasing the script. But looking
at the table heading in etc/HELLO, it appears that this file is for
showing language and not the script.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
LANGUAGE (NATIVE NAME)	HELLO
----------------------	-----
Amharic (አማርኛ)	ሠላም
Arabic (العربيّة)	السّلام عليكم
Armenian (հայերեն)	Բարև ձեզ
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is really odd and not very helpful when we open this file and find
nothing for "Hindi".
