Transliterations are optional for those languages (Konkani and Bodo) which often use the Roman alphabet; for others, omitting the transliteration will result in placing the article in a cleanup category.

Please note that only one or two of these is likely to be appropriate for a given article.

Setting any of the language arguments to "!" will place the article in the appropriate subcategory of Category:Lacking non-English text. For example,

{{Infobox Indic names|sanskrit=!}}

will place the article in Category:Lacking Sanskrit text.
