What it's about

The Application of the Roman Alphabet to All the Oriental Languages by Charles Edward Trevelyan advocated for Romanizing non-Latin scripts to simplify printing, education, and colonial administration. A British civil servant and linguist, Trevelyan promoted this reform during the 19th century, particularly in British India. His ideas influenced language standardization but faced criticism for cultural insensitivity. The work reflects colonial-era linguistic policies and their lasting impact on South Asian writing systems.
