@vermaprashant1

TDIL (Technology Development for Indian languages) programme of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt. of India runs Standardization activity for Indian languages.
Many counter styles of Indian languages are define in the sections of https://www.w3.org/TR/predefined-counter-styles/ are numeric counters only. The alphabetic counter styles of Indian languages are currently missing. For seamless access it is also required to define alphabetic counter styles for all Indian languages so that the user can implement on the web. This can be achieved by CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository) of Unicode Consortium, where approved characters lists are defined for all Indian languages. TDIL is also participating and collected the CLDR data from language experts and submitted to Unicode which further go through the process and validated by members and technical Committee of Unicode Consortium.
The code snippets of alphabetic counter can be defined in the https://www.w3.org/TR/predefined-counter-styles/ based on the characters defined in CLDR. The Hindi CLDR data are available at https://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/hi/Alphabetic_Information/ for the reference. The other Indian languages CLDR data are also available on the same link.
