<br>However, i am yet to find any implementation of scrabble in Hindi. I think Hindi would be a too complicated to implement but would ask some hindi professors i know for confirmations.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>That sounds like you're making it up, since you say "probably looks<br>
funny". You couldn't make a set with enough tiles to hold the several<br>
hundred possible syllables, and the phonology doesn't work to combine<br>
random syllables into words of any length. Hindi in separated letters<br>
would look more than funny.<br>

होली would end up looking like ह ो ल ी, or<br>
ह<br>
ो<br>
ल<br>
ी<br>
<br>
I'm asking whether anybody has _seen_ Scrabble in an Indian language.<br>
