Hoi,
The question is not whether they are separate languages, the question is
are they mutually exclusive. At this moment MediaWiki does not support
two scripts in one installation.
MediaWiki certainly supports two scripts in one installation!
Not only can you write in as many scripts as you like on any MediaWiki
installation, but for several languages specific support has been added
for automated conversion and linking between alternate scripts of the
same language to make pages written in different scripts integrate
smoothly (Chinese, Serbian, and recently I think Kazakh).
This will become possible when the
coding for Multilingual MediaWiki has been finished and integrated in
MediaWiki proper.
Multilingual MediaWiki (if it ever exists) is to handle a different
case: having content in multiple separate languages, separately marked
and with the ability to have different pages with the same-spelled title
automatically distinguished.
This would probably not help much for the use of multiple scripts.
