[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Great! The Kharoshthi script is finally being included in Emacs!

Here are my two cents on the patches:
Should Kharoshthi be written with diacritics? I know Kharoṣṭhī is more
correct way to write it, but other Indic scripts are written without it.
If this is a more correct way, should the others be changed as well?
Also I noticed that Kharoṣṭhī and Gāndhārī are written in IAST but not
Saṃskṛta.

Also since now there is also a misc-lang.el in lisp/leim/quail/ I think the
Kharoshthi input method should be moved there.

Thanks.
