Most of those scripts have names that are not the labguage names. There katakana, hiragana, and kanji for Japanese, there's hangul for Korean etc.

    With Devnagiri, there is a one-to-many mapping of script to spoken languages, Hindi being only one of them.

    The graphic should have just listed scripts instead of spoken languages, since it is really about scripts
