Hatkai-Khudabadi Script for sindhi language
February 14, 2009.

Dear Mr. Mr. Matthewvanitas, Good Morning, This refers to your reply.

Re:www.sindhilanguage.com/script.html
Following paragraph is the copy of the your refered site and you would notice the Khudabadi,is the script of sindhi language. The site may not know that at later stage, the Khudabadi script became popular as Hatkai. You can not say that Khudabadi script never existed. It existed and was in use. At later stage, the script was used by shopkeepers and therefore it was called Hatkai. The english meaning of Hatkai is 'for shopkeepers'.

Origins:
What was the original script of Sindhi? Sindhi lacked an authentic script/alphabet. It was either written in more than eight different scripts:

==Thattai, Khudabadi, Luhaniki, Memonki, Khojiki, Devnagri, Gurmukhi, Hatkai (Hatvaniki).,

Re:www.sindhudesh.com/sindhdesh/thesindhi_matlani.html
I have gone through the site, many times before you referred to me. The period he is refering when Sindh came under British rule in 1843, by that time the name of Khudabadi script was already replaced by the Hatkai script. The older generation had the knowledge when the change took place. Ask both the site whether can they write and give you the actual script of Hatkai. I have written paragraph of the script of Hatkai, with me to prove.

I believe the above claify your doubts and you will change the title of the article from Hatkai to Khudabadi Script.
==Many thanks.201.225.88.74 (talk) 17:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC) gespee.

Advise you refer the problem to WP:INDIA
Since this is a historical issue which is beyond my knowledge, I would advise you go to the Discussion page of WP:INDIA and ask for input. That is a Wiki project devoted to coverage of India, and the folks there will be better equipped than I to weigh in on the historical aspect. I tend to stick to proofreading, removing minor or biased, content, etc. I'm more focused on the writing aspect, and less on the historical aspect, except in noting areas where verification is needed. Please do check in with WP:INDIA on this issue. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Khudabadi Script
Dear Mr. Matthewvanitas, I understand your limitations. Refering to www.sindhilanguage.com/scrip.html, Khudabadi Script is at serial no. 2, whereas Hatkai is at last serial no. 8. You had put the title of the article "Hatkai" in error, unknowingly and therefore you and only you, are in position to rectify and put the title of the article "Khudabadi Script". Please co-operate and do the needful. thanks190.33.27.30 (talk) 02:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC) gespee

Does anyone have a picture/scan of this script?
A picture or scan of some phrase written in this script would go a long way towards making the article better. Anyone have such available? MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mr. MatthewVanitas, greetings, I have printed form of Consonants of Khudabadi Script in alphabetical order. I can scan and send by e-mail to you so that you can edit the same in this article. Please give me your e-mail address. Gespee (talk) 21:31, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

The Khudabadi script became known as Vaniki, Hatvaniki or Hatkai script (Why)
The Khudabadi Script became known as Vaniki, Hatvaniki or Hatkai because later, the traders started using it generously for keeping their business books and accounts. Vaniuon means businessman, Hat means shop and Hatkai means "For Shops" in Sindhi Language.Gespee (talk) 16:55, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

To revert back the name of the article to "Khudabadi Script"
Dear Mr.Kwamikagami, Hi!, You have changed the name of article from "Khudabadi Script" to "Khudabadi alphabets" which is highly objectionable. If you see any article or texts about Sindhi Language, the description of this article is given as "Khudabadi Script" and not "Khudabadi alphabets. Therefore it is requested to revert back the title of this article to "Khudabadi Script". Thanks.Gespee (talk) 16:03, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
