I saw the article before and I too was deeply moved by it, but don't you think you could word this better so as not to make it sound so blasé? "Pah, no nastaliq, useless!" -- this is an amazing project.
+1. It sounds incredibly condescending the way it's written right now. Like the omission of Nastaliq is a great tragedy and Google should be deeply ashamed.

Well, the heading says «Beautiful and free fonts for all languages» and the OP noticed that it fails to include at least one important script/language combination.
A. I wouldn't exactly call an almost-dead not-incredibly-commonly-used script "important". Especially when others, which are available on Noto, are more widely used.
B. There's much better ways of phrasing the request than the way it was written.
First of all, I wouldn't call one specific use case proving that it isn't almost dead. Just because it's being used in one case, for Bollywood wedding songs, does not mean it isn't "almost dead". Secondly, it was by the OPs own admission that the language is dying.
