Thank you to Madhav Deshpande for answering offlist that Marathi doesn't use nuktā (the underneath dots in devanagari) .  Does that mean only Hindi uses nuktā  , also how modern is the use of nuktā in devanagari and related scripts ?

Dear list members,

Can someone tell me if in Marathi ज़ (ज with dot underneath)  is used for the letter transliterated as za .  I've been told that in Marathi ज without dot underneath is used but the ISO transliteration guide has ज़ (ज with dot underneath) for z .

Thanks,
