See the entry for "Magar Akkha" on:

http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/scripts-not-encoded.html

Anshuman Pandey did preliminary research on this in 2011.

It would be premature to assign an ISO 15924 script code, pending the research to determine whether this script should be separately encoded.

According to Ethnolog, the Eastern Magar language (mgp) is written in two scripts: Devanagari and "Akkha".

But the "Akkha" script does not seem to have any ISO 15924 code.

The Ethnologue currently assigns a private use code (Qabl) for this script.

Was the addition delayed due to lack of evidence (even if this language is official in Nepal and India) ?

Did the editors of Ethnologue submit an addition request for that script (e.g. for the code "Akkh" or "Akha" ?)

Or is it considered unified with another script that could explain why it is not coded ? If this is a variant it could have its own code (like Nastaliq in Arabic). Or may be this is just a subset of another (Sino-Tibetan) script ?
