Dear Janab Manzar Ahmed,
As you know, classification schemes are meant to specify books according to subjects. as such the language issue does not seem to be any matter of concern. Unless, of course, if the classifier can not read the scripts or understand the language ( so that s/he understand what the book deals with) In our Resource Centre, we keep books on vernacular languages. books written in Bengali script and dealing with Economics, are classified under the Class No. 330-339 as the case may be. But well, when I receive books wreitten in Urdu, which I can not read, I have to ask our faculties who can read and understand the subject so that they can explain it and we assign the Class No. Of course, it can always happen that the assigned class numbers are not exact what it should be, but for rendering service, we have not found any difficulty so far.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
