Description

Many books in Indic languages contain the page numbers in the headers in respective Indic numerals. The support for such numerals in required in the <pagelist/> tag similar to roman, folioroman etc.

For example in this book https://ta.wikisource.org/s/9m79 from page number 93 all numbers are in Tamil numerals till 197.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_numerals

similar to support for "roman", support for "tamil" and indic languages is required.

The implementation of folio roman in <pagelist/> can be seen for reference at T73821 .

Request for such feature can be seen here

I just wrote a patch that should make the addition of all numbering system supported by CLDR/ICU easy: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage/+/644010

Here is the list of all the systems supported by ICU:
https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/master/common/supplemental/numberingSystems.xml

Which ones would you need? "taml" (Tamil)? "tamldec" (Tamil decimal)? Other ones?
