[Hamara-devel] indian english spell checker in hamara ?

[mandiv]

think language is medium of communication so adding new words is Ok as 
far as people understood  it. and happy to use those words
because there are some words there in pure Indian languages those are 
not in use  and people can not understand them.
like "_/kalfalak/_" for _/keyboard/_ in Hindi/Marathi so we don't have 
any  option other than  keyboard to use.
