Regarding the error "undefined control sequence. \selectlanguage*{english}"
I am enrolled for FDP on Latex in collaboration with IITB and SGU, Kolhapur. I have attended the Spoken Tutorial on "Indic Language Typesetting in Latex".Downloaded the code file and installed the required fonts in my machine. I am using "Texstudio" latest version and Windows 8.1 OS. I am not able to run the said. I am compiling it with XeLatex. I have tried deleting all auxiliary files. Complied twice. Once got the error "undefined control sequence. \begin{document}" and second time "undefined control sequence. \selectlanguage*{english}". Also \selectlanguage text is showing in red box in my editor. Please help me out so that I can complete the FDP successfully. Thank you.I have selected minutes and seconds without knowing the idea behind the selection. Please pardon me if I have made the wrong selection. Your guidance in this direction also will help me to rectify next time.
