I was a skeptic, but Asad Memon's "UrduScript", although it could just as easily be called "HindiScript" due to its usage of the Roman alphabet, made me realize that this would have been a game changer in my freshman year or anyone from the Indian subcontinent just starting to program. For Hindi/Urdu speakers, the "why (kyun?)" section here - https://asadmemon.com/urduscript/ https://asadmemon.com/urduscript/ - is a fun read. Although I have always studied in an English medium school, I distinctly remember being confused by the simple term "invoke". It was just not a part of my regular vocabulary, and I felt it was something more complicated than what it seemed. Turns out if I had something like UrduScript I would have been more confident in my early days. Having said that, I think such languages are most useful as a teaching aid rather than a serious production language.
