Jim,

I am no linguist, that's for sure but a quick wiki read noted the following;
The Devanagari script is used for over 120 languages.

Seeing as though it is the Alphabet of India and regions surrounding these wild north western frontiers, it doesn't seem out of place, much like some Kukri with clear Afghan influence and Tulwar seen in the hands of Afghan soldiers, it just seems to be the norm of the melting pot up there.
