Dear Sir/Madam, It is mentioned on the page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhi_people

that there are 23 million Sindhi speakers. Though this figure is much lower than the fatual figure, but an other page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhi_language

states that the number of Sindhi speakers in only 19.7 millions. It is contradictions in what the Wikipedia states for Sindhi lanauge.

There is an other controversial statement on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhi_language

that Sindhi is written in Devnagri script. The fact is that the Devnagri script is never recognized officially. Even the govt. of India declares Sindhi as one of its official and national languages in ARABIC SINDHI script. Even if you consider the Devnagri script more acceptable to Sindhi Hindus in India, considering their smaller number (2.8 millions: as stated by one of your pages), the Sindhi article on the page

http://sd.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

must have been place in Sindhi Arabic script. Sindhi is practically used as official language in Sindh in Sindhi Arabic Script. The official website of NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR PROMOTION OF SINDHI LANGUAGE (INDIA) provides a Sindhi font for downloading, which is an ARABIC-SINDHI font. This established the fact that even in INDIA, Sindhi is dominantly accepted and written in ARABIC-SINDHI script.

Kindly redress the issue; by placing the articles in ARABIC-SINDHI script. In Devnagri script, that article on the page

http://sd.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

seems NONESENSE to almost 100% percent of the Sindhi speakers.
